The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

While cleaning I found some really neat stuff from my grandparents. A travel diary from my grandmother when she traveled to England in 1954. Tempted to read through it but not sure. It is afterall a diary.

And the neatest- a honorary plaque given to my grandfather. He dropped out of school in fourth grade to earn a living. Later, he studied to get a specific licence for shipping. It involves plotting courses using the stars. For someone with little education he had gotten it and was recognized for his hard work.

I think I'll find somewhere in the hobby room to hang it.

Wow! That was Close!

Did some cleaning upstairs for the closet area and came back down to the hobby room. Saw I left a light on and turned it off. It has one of those rotery switchs for a Trac Light system. Damn thing went up in flames in my fingers!

Yanked the plug out and kept any real harm from happening but I was close to a fire. Switch is all melted and dark brown and yellow.

I hope this is not a sign of the year....unless of course it is dodging any bad things that would've otherwise happened.

Yoikes! Obviously made your reflex save.

Well ... if your grandma has passed on I don't think it would be a bad thing to do Actually sounds kinda interesting.... Interesting about the grandpa too.

The day has been busier than I thought. It hasn't been too bad just a steady stream. I also was doing billing for customer accounts.

Wow, the hive has been busy today.

Mega, I like your drawing. I would read the diary if I found it. As someone who believes in chronicling history, I think that is why you keep diaries, scrapbooks etc. I wish that there were things like that from several members of my family. I wonder what things were like a long time ago and people just dont think to chronicle their everyday lives. Maybe I am just silly though.

 

[Mycanid]

Well lads and lasses - I'm back. The pc is put together and screaming like a house o' fire.

Right now am working on a pc I'll send to a friend of mine ... mostly as an upgrade from her much slower pc.

Hello again Aeson and Aurora!

Yes - Mega and Aeson and I were yakking it up earlier today, as you can see.

 

[Mycanid]

Hmm ... scared everyone away. Ah well.

Man ... do I love the autopatcher project's creations when initially setting up machines. Saves a LOTTA unnecessary bandwidth.

Dog Moon - I know exactly what you mean. I also love to write. For maself, I mostly do "journaling", that is, I keep a diary, occasionally write a little poetry (nothing to rave about quality wise) and enjoy hand writing letters. Somehow the physical process of dragging the pen across the paper has something more to it for me rather than typing.

Heh. I dislike journals. I don't like to write about real things. I think that the most interesting parts or thoughts that I might put into my journal, I twist it to make it fit into whatever story I'm currently working on.

Also not a big fan of poetry except for the dark, depressing poetry. Poetry about trees and the sky is boring, but scraping a dull blade over the wrists is something that interests me. I'm not suicidal or depressed, btw, just a style I like, as weird as it seems.
