Labour day, and I’m taking the day off. Weekend was pretty decent. We were up at my wife’s parents’ again this weekend. This time her aunt and uncle (and associated horde of 6) were visiting, on their way back to NYC from their Florida vacation. It was an entertaining weekend. The first time in a long time there were that many people in the house. We ended up doing a bunch of cooking again, but it wasn’t too bad. At least there was no barbequing for me. We left that for my wife’s brother this time.
On my desktop
Last week, while I was walking around the yard at my wife’s parents’ place, I ran across this largish dragonfly. It seemed like it would make a neat picture, so I took a photo. I thought it turned out pretty good, so I made it my current desktop photo.

Tropical Storms
The 6th tropical storm of the season, Fabian, is brewing out in the mid Atlantic now, according to the National Hurricane Center. That means time to start getting the hurricane kit prepared. Only a few more months left in hurricane season, but unfortunately, those are the busy months. Hopefully this one doesn’t cause too much trouble. We’ll see in a few days…
One of those days
It was one of those days where you’re trying to get something done that people are asking for yesterday, but you keep getting interrupted by people doing things that should have been done weeks ago. So, a task that probably should have taken 4 hours or so gets started late, and ends up taking about 6 hours to finish. Ugh.
