Blinkers Opens!

Blinkers ice cream stand has opened every March 1 ever since we've lived in Millville. It is our family's spring herald and always causes a stir whether or not we run to get in line.

K and C had cleaned his room and came up with a box of books as a by product. They went to freecycle Saturday as well as my blueberry iMac from 1990 something. A lot of memories attached to that computer :(

I bought a wi-fi adapter at Circuit City and brought it home in the late afternoon. It took no time at all to get connected but my follow on problem was to get the video card to produce a signal on the s-video output. To get it to work I had to reinstall the video drivers but nothing is ever easy. The config program that comes with the new drivers needs the latest version of .Net runtime which I had to download and install. And of course it needs to be installed before the video drivers so... This turned into a 4 hour project.
