I added a video clip of Blondie and Bru (our dogs) playing tug-of-war to the Dogs page. Felicity had directed me to a service called Cincopa that makes generating code for galleries, slide shows, and playing video clips much easier than it had been. The tug-of-war video clip and the slide show on my XS 11 page are the result of using the Cincopa service. I get a kick out of seeing them work, and will be incorporating more of the same in the future.

I’ve made a few other minor changes to several of the pages, including getting the background image to load faster. Other changes include centering the navigation links on both the tops and bottom of each page, and some general clean-up work. I’m beginning to understand HTML a little better!

This is what we woke up to this morning:

Forecast was for “A chance of snow.” It will probably melt by this evening.

Just when I thought spring was here I saw our forecast for the next 7 days:

Even though its only March, spring is arriving. Pasque flowers are blooming in a neighbor’s lawn.

I even rode my motorcycle to work this past Friday. Still cool in the mornings – near freezing – but the afternoons are great, with temps in the 60’s. Pam started doing some yard work, and our tulips and irises are poking up. Nice to see the yard turning green.

I expect more snow before spring is really here, but this interlude is certainly nice!

Our old refrigerator was working, but we had taken to taping the door closed, as the cats had a habit of trying to pull the door open. In addition, the handles were always coming loose. Time to change it out.

Now, new refrigerators are expensive. Also, Pam wanted it in black. Off to Craig’s List to see what was available in a used unit.

Hark! A listing in a town we drive past to go to work. Black refrigerator, in good condition. Even had the dimensions listed, and it would fit our opening. So, I replied. Yes, unit was still available.

Turns out the listing was from a co-worker. You know when you’ve been to long in the same place when this happens.

Anyway, I had to take the doors off the refrigerator to get it out of my co-worker’s house, but did get it home and back into service. It works well, and no tape needed to hold the doors (Its a side-by-side) closed. Ah, the small pleasures of life!
