Well, the Mac G4 that I was using as a substitute for my defunct\u00a0Mac G5 also died. No power light comes on when you press the power button and nothing else happens either. So I dug out my even older Mac G3 (1999 vintage) and am using that to compose this post. A\u00a0replacement for the G5 has not arrived yet. The replacement is slightly newer and a bit faster than the G5 that died; I am hoping I can swap my drives into the new unit and be up and running without a lot of hassle.<\/p>\n

No news on house hunting; Pam looked at a few properties on-line but nothing shouts “buy me” or even “take a look” so activity on that project has been pretty low.<\/p>\n

I did take my ATV out on Wild Horse Mesa yesterday and found several varieties of wildflowers are blooming, including some cacti.<\/p>\n

The Honda goes in for its transmission \u00a0transplant tomorrow; work should be done same-day so I can drive it home tomorrow night. The Toyota RAV works well for transporting the dogs and the all-wheel drive is nice for winter driving, but the Honda does get better fuel mileage and is more comfortable so I’ll be glad to have it back in full service.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n
