Ian is a wonderful young man. We are very pleased to welcome him into [...]

Greetings from Laramie, Wyoming
This is my first entry from away from home. I’m like Jack Kerouac! Or not.
Patty and I are on our way to the small mining town of Atlanta, Idaho for Michelle and Ian’s wedding.

New Fence and Pool

Thanks to a re-fi on our mortgages, Patty and I had the opportunity to completely transform our back yard into our little paradise.
We were thinking of getting a pop-up camper trailer and began researching them on the internet. By the time we added all the options we wanted, commode, shower, AC, etc. we [...]

Spring at the Cemetery

It’s been a busy spring here so far.  I haven’t even had time to blog lately.  Hopefully this will be corrected in the next couple of weeks.
We received a visit from my father in-law and his wife for a few days.  They left the snows of Wisconsin just as we had our first spring days [...]

One of the things I like to waste time on is my other blog, http://www.ben-armbruster.org/blog/mandriva It’s more or less dedicated to the Mandriva Linux [...]

Review of Dell Laptop Inspiron 1525 N

I finally received my laptop a few days ago.  I ordered it originally on February 26th.  In a fit of frustrated anger I cancelled the order after a month of delays.  That is without a doubt my biggest gripe about this laptop.  Dell has a really lousy distribution division!  After looking around at other laptops [...]

Close Call For a Dear Friend

I almost lost a very good friend today. I guess I always knew that he was one of my rare, truly good friends. It took a near tragedy to bring it home to me.
A blood clot entered his brain as I slept.  I don’t know what time it was when he had [...]

I’m Buying Another Dell Laptop

I ordered a laptop computer from Dell yesterday. It’s expected to ship on March 6th.
I know, I know. After my last Dell ordering fiasco, you would think I would never go through that again. The word on the street is that those problems were because Dell had a lousy paint shop [...]
