The next day

When Bob was down with Tabitha and her girls, I don't think he realizes how much that does for mom, to see those little girls.. But as they were leaving the thing that happens every time anyone visits, happened again.. The guard cat comes out and has that bosslike attitude of I repelled those people.. She gets that tough cat attitude of see I chased them out, see how I did that??  And I notice this every time, she just has that way about her.. All the time anyone is here she is a well hidden kitten.. As soon as they walk out the door she appears and has that attitude thing.. What a nut cat..


My main browser has been the Firefox  or Aurora  whichever I felt was delivering the goods, but yesterday they both were crapping out on me... Enough so that I did the unthinkable, I started to try to get Chrome to work.. Chrome was retired as my browser of choice two years ago after it crapped out completely, I mean it wouldn't open any  pages.. I had that happen before and deleted it then reacquired it and everything was fine for a while again.. Then it happened again.. So why go back to Chrome this time??  The speed dial that chrome has as part of the base browser I don't know how to set the dials up.. There are eight and I just never got how to set them up.. Then last year when i-Google was announced that it would stop being supported I knew I was going to have to have a new homepage idea and went with the FVD speed dial and it is also on the chrome platform, trouble is it wasn't the same as the Firefox.. The Firefox version was updated earlier in the month and now the two browsers are the same... sort of..  After trying so many times to get chrome to be the same as Firefox I gave up.. Then yesterday happened and I decided to try one last time to get the FVD speed dial to work and after a little messing around it got set up.. And again sort of, I have to do the preset pictures on the main page but it is worth it.. So Chrome is almost ready to be the main browser but today I start the Aurora browser just like before and it works fine.. I think I only really want Chrome to be a really good backup browser when shit like yesterday happens.. And life goes on.. 

Everybody is complaining about the weather saying it sure is cold.. It is March and March was never my favorite month mostly because it can start to warm up and then cool off.. But there were years when we would get just a ton of snow, around Easter we got dumped on.. The past few years hasn't been the case.. In fact last year by this time the leaves were starting to come out, by the middle of April the lillacs  were full leafed out and then the flowers were out.. By about now I started the experiment with the plants, I got brave and went against my better judgement and bought a salsa planting kit, actually two.. And as things went last year and I'm not sure it was the heat or what but nothing grew after July.. I didn't get the Earthbox set right and won't do that again.. Sure enough this year when the weather got nice I thought of what the grand plan was going to be, watering when the temperature got above fifty degrees.. That has changed because anytime I am figuring the town will announce watering restrictions.. I think I am ready.. I am still looking at sprinklers but might stay with what I have.. Might only have to water the front lawn anyway..
