Happy Birthday archangelbeth & mamadeb

Notes for the day

1 - Working on getting printing fixed on the server. After that comes web-mail, then comes mailing list archives

2 - The car just got a new catalytic converter. Do you know what happens when your catalytic converter gets plugged? It's not nice - the symptoms are very similar to being low on transmission fluid, or having a dying transmission.

3 - Gevalia sells very nice coffee, thank you. (For some reason I'm doing coffee for my daily beverage today.)

(insert 45 minute pause)

4 - I just had a phone interview with a head-hunter. Hmm, this could get interesting. The position would probably require a pay-cut, but it would be with a ~400 employee company, largest in its industry and growing. And the position would be much more of a generalist position.

5 - I've got one to two hundred day-lily seeds I'm going to try to plant next year.

6 - I was just reminded that I'm about to get Minn-StF new laser-printer delivered today. Oops! Hmm - need to go do some work on that.

Tree go away tomorrow

Last week - Thursday, I think - the city came and beheaded our boulevard tree. We've been expecting it for months - since July, maybe? And it looks like tomorrow they're going to come and take out the trunk.

Given the location of the boulevard trees north and south of us, I think we really want to have the replacement go in exactly where this one is. Which means no new tree until after the stump gets ground out. Our choices are wait for the city to do it - which, from recent observation, could be a couple of years; or to pay for someone to do it for us. Anyone local have recommendations for someone who grinds out stumps?
