Bob transplanted several paddles from a beavertail cactus that was growing up on the hill behind our house. It has been about a year and a half and all of the transplants seem to be doing well. This individual has grown from a few paddles (maybe four to six) to all of these paddles in that time. The cactus is about a foot and a half tall and is spreading nicely on the area by the RV drive west of the house. Click on the image to enlarge.
Our internet service provider has notified us that there may be intermittent outages in our MySQL access over the weekend. Please tune back in after it’s over. Thanks.
The weekend of February 16th and 17th Omnis Network will be performing deep cleaning of the equipment in our data center. The cleaning may require the halting of some services such as POP/IMAP Email or MySQL database for up to one hour while the physical server is thoroughly cleaned.
Today, we went to the optometrist. It was my turn to get new clear glasses. Last time, I got new sunglasses (prescription, of course). The doctor said everything looked OK except that my old clear glasses were out of date.
I picked out a pair of frames that are really lightweight. This image is of some of the many frames that were available. Click on the image to enlarge.
Marooned in California. Special dinner – Pork Fajitas – served as comfort food while we have to be here.
Here I am on the roof of the “Albatross” sawing off a dead palm frond. I also sawed off three palm berry pods. Our eventual plan is to have four of the palms removed from the property, but that won’t happen until next summer when some new financial arrangements will be made.
In the meantime, we have to make trips to take care of some of the maintenance items. Verna removed most of a prickly pear cactus that fell over since we last were here. It’s a pain for now, because we have to remove ourselves from our beautiful Arizona home to attend to matters here.
We traveled to the California House today to do some business there. While we were on the road, I snapped this image of Bob driving us there being helped by lookouts Bay Bay and Cabela. Cute. Click on the image to enlarge.
