This and that and nothing much

susandennisSo far the sun has been hidden all day and I'm hoping against hope that this means it will not be egg-frying, Africa hot going home this afternoon.
I have been using the feed from The Weather Channel's web page on my webcam - but, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
estis so kindly pointed out yesterday, it is a lying sack of shit. I think it is coded to never show more than 66 degrees. As soon as I finish this entry, I'm off to find another weather window for that page. Right now it says 65 degrees and cloudy - my start home page shows 73 degrees and cloudy - Google's start page shows 64 degrees and raining. I can look at the window and see there's no rain. Actually a few more checks of local TV and other weather pages shows a pretty even split between 64 and 73 degrees and cloudy. hmmmm Seems like if any of them were even close to not lying through their teeth, there would be some 68's or 70's sprinkled in there...
Maybe it's time forjimcarson to do another Weather Rodeo!!
For some reason my web cams quit. I need to investigate when I get home and see what the problem is. The webcam software, when it 'quits' throws the new time stamp on the old picture so it 1) doesn't make much sense to even have the time stamp and 2) makes it really hard to tell at a glance that it's broken! But, otherwise, the VisionGS software is really pretty good.
Everything else on the list needs his involvement as Sheri currently has it planned out. Best I can tell, this will take us into about 2009. So I asked her please to find someone else to finish off the remaining bits. I finally got a response from her just now that she agrees with my assessment and will try to find someone.
If she doesn't, I will. I need a very simple valance (one box) made and hung (I'll cover it myself). I need an alarm system boxed ripped out and the dry wall patched. Actually 3 of those. I'd like to have the wall painted afterward, but fuck it, I'll do that, too. And the other pieces, I can do as well if need be. But, then so could Sheri if she just would!
Remind me next time I do this (and since I'll be about 112 years old, I will need you to remind me several times and probably loudly), build schedule into the contract. Either offer a bonus for finishing on time or early or a fee for finishing late. It finally dawned on me this weekend that Sheri has no incentive whatsoever for ever finishing. Big mistake on my end.
