HELLO RAIN

Somebody sent up a prayer for rain and it was answered, and while I don't believe in organized religion, to those who do I guess your prayers were answered..  For the lawn here Friday night saw a four tenths rain fall then Saturday (the radar was showing it might flood) we got a trace. Then Sunday afternoon we got another four tenths of an inch of moisture and that really helps.. Stopped watering everything for a day maybe even two.. Return to watering the lawn on Wednesday I think.. Might spot water where needed.. The "garden" looks really good today.. As much as the plants love the heat to grow, I think they need a break in the heat to fill in a bit.. Dare to dream that we might make it though this season without hail.. Don't worry, it will hail again.. I will hate to be right about that but it does hail at least once per growing season. Last year we got nailed three times by hail and when it didn't hail the wind blew..

So today was D day for some sort of computer schlop thing.. I hate the hackers who do this type of shit.. It was the one thing that I pointed to when everyone was saying "you should get a computer.."  way back in the day.. That and I figured I had no right to try to do computers.. Way back when they were introduced in school I saw them as being fun, but I tried my luck through the school one and then when dad got his I tried, then little brother's but couldn't see any reason to bother.. Too much agravation..   Then one day I sat down and he (lil bro) showed me some very basic things on the computer.. 1: turn it on.. 2 : getting on the internet.. From there it was pretty much learn on your own..



That brings us to the browser situation, and front page or homepage.. With i-Google being phased out at the end of next year it has made me start to phase it out now.. Disappointed in Google deciding to drop their homepage I was actually thinking about getting a different one anyway or possibly getting away from the homepage concept altogether.. I do like the way I designed the homepage, everything was set the way I wanted it after a month of trial and errors..  I designed it to be like the local news cast, news weather sports type of format from left to right.. The most viewed were the ones opened at the start. But it slowed the browsers down and even crashed the Firefox/Aurora browsers.. Opera opens some of the gadgets while Chrome I didn't bother with opening my homepage with it.. After this past Saturdays event with Chrome I was set to delete it from the computer forever but then thought I would give it just one last chance.. This will be it's very last chance and I will give it the full effort to make it work.. I'm not sure how "loaded" everyone else uses their chrome browser, but I try not to overdo it with apps and extensions or whatever.. Try to stay basic although I like the speed dial concept, there are many to chose from but I will try the one I thought was best for me.. If it crashes again I will not only get rid of that app, I will delete Chrome for good this time..
