Time to put some random thoughts down!

1. We had a wonderful week of spring temperatures, the snow had all melted, and I was right ready to pull the cover off the motorhome and start getting it ready to do some local trips. Then the weather changed and we’ve had a week of winter. It’s snowing now … and thundering. If there’s thunder then there must be lightning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen snow lightning.
2. The “new” car has passed the inspection and hopefully we’ll go down to Salt Lake and pick it up on Friday. It’ll be nice to being a two-car family, but more importantly, to have a much more comfortable car to drive longer distances than my Chevrolet Tracker.
3. We have General Conference of the Church this coming weekend. I really enjoy conference and am looking forward to it.
4. I’ve put in a bid on building a website for another small city in southeastern Idaho. I’ll hopefully know tomorrow night if my bid is accepted.
5. Small towns seem to have the ability to spend money on a website where the larger cities are cutting budgets. I’m wondering why that difference.
6. A week from today the local school district is running another levy election. The last one failed in February. They cut back on the amount being asked and are running another election. If this one fails, the school system here will be decimated. The prospects of the levy passing don’t look good, however.
7. I’m about halfway through the second book in the Wheel of Time fantasy series. I think this is my fifth time reading this book in the series. I’d still rather read the book than do about anything else.
8. Last fall I joined a newly-forming Rotary Club. This will be the fourth Rotary Club in Pocatello and will be called the Portneuf Rotary Club. In order to charter a new Rotary Club, there have to be at least twenty signed-up members. A week ago we reached that goal and will be chartered by the end of April. It’s kind of cool as I’ll get a Rotary pin to wear on my lapel that says “Charter Member”.
9. After upgrading my Macbook’s hard drive, I needed a new backup hard drive for the Time Machine software (very cool Mac backup software). I started formatting the new backup drive on Saturday morning and the formatting program is still running 84 hours later. Something doesn’t seem right.
10. Another installment of Tuesday Ten Things is ready to publish. ‘Til next week!
