Weekend project

Move my computer and related equipment to the basement. Currently it is in a spare bedroom. Bought a desk with what they call a return (side board to me) so that I can spread out my photo equipment, scanner and printer. I want to take all the hard copies of photos and scan them, put them on disk and then quite worrying about the colors fading. I think we have 6 or 8 photo boxes, like shoe boxes but 1/2 again as wide, almost full. I also ran some wire for the 1/2 bath and prepped for two recessed lights over the desk. I'm installing two 50w minature halogens that will be on their own switch so the desk area won't be wasting electricity when not in use. I'm going to look at seperating the basement lighting out for the same purpose. No need to light up all of 900 square feet when it isn't needed. Today I will finish the electric in the 1/2 bath and do some switching of some lighting in one of the storage areas.

Correction

The four posting below with their pictures are actually from the day before the next set of pictures. It's just that I finally learned how to put the pictures in the body part instead of just down the side and let someone open them bigger if they wanted to. I am not going to redo the entire blog. Family and friends are the only ones reading it and they understand me, so, let it stand and look forward to better images in better places. Oh yea, I also figured out how to put all the pictures as one entry instead of multiple as these four were. You can see that in the post that follows the 4 pictures of the first snow, the Frosty Morning post has all the pictures in it.

A hunters blind standing empty on the side of a corn field. It hasn't been used this year. More likely it was used in the past before part of the farm was sold and now houses are too close to be useful. Not that it is needed but the geese are safer now.
