DAMN THAT WAS CLOSE..

I had a holy shit moment just a bit ago.. Opened the browser to the homepage setting (speed dial) and it had a message on it stating there was a sync update and I went on ahead and did it figuring that there might be a dial added because I thought I added one yesterday while elsewhere and it did the resync and added one dial.. And that is all I had was one dial!!!    Say it with me :  W  T  F !!       That was ...  I tried several things including the custumary turning blue and saying certain things that won't be repeated here.. Just what the hell.. Then I tried a few things including shutting the browser down and starting again and it started and I pushed sync again and it updated and all I could think was whew.. But at the end of the sync this time I now had seven.. I guess that is better.. Then I shut down the browser and started Firefox (proper) and it was synced to the Aurora, no surprise they are one in the same almost.. Then I got the laptop out and crossed my fingers that this would be alright there and it was as it was yesterday.. I got the flashdrive, exported the .sd file and then reset the program here on the desk top computer.. Freak out averted.. I then setup a file to two separate backups with a third to be done later.. I figure if I add any more dials that unless they are "can't live without them" type that the ones I have now are very important (?) and at least they will get reloaded in the case of something like this happening again and it probably will...

I mowed and today I reversed the order I did it in, going front to back rather than back to front.. Towards the end of the mowing sortie I was mowing by this bird feeder light thing that is hanging on the clothes line and I kept bumping into it and splattering water on me.. Not even paying attention to it when I got done I noticed a bunch of wasps swarming around it.. Not that I am Mr. Tough guy or anything but I tend to tune out when I am mowing and I just didn't see them swarming around this thing.. I paid closed attention to it when I did the weed eater.. I didn't get stung at all and I don't know why not.. Just lucky I guess.. Pure plain dumb luck..

Amazing how a week ago it rained and gave us what I figure is the best rating on the lawn over all.. I think I would give it close to a seven, however there are massive patches of weeds everywhere.. I scalped some of the areas and planted some grass seed there.. I think I might try to turn some of the ground over and seed it.. After Donald got married I did that and the grass really grew well even though it was hot then (the end of July)..  Speaking of which, his anniversary is coming up shortly.. Anniversaries and weddings and baby births.. The next six weeks could be interesting..
