alexpgpYesterday was one of those days filled with a series of items comprising The Routine Stuff™, which kept me busy into the early afternoon, whereupon I chorded Win+L to "lock" my computer and went grocery shopping with Galina.
Upon my return, I found my computer on but non-responsive. I could only conclude that something caused the machine to hang while the desktop was locked up, so I applied pressure to what, in the old days, was known as The Big Red Switch until the computer shut down with all the grace of a Baryshnikov landing on an unexpected banana peel.
As all my work was done for the day, I decided not to restart the computer again until today.
In the afternoon, I found the flattest 4-foot×8-foot area behind the garage, which turned out to be not so easy, as the lawn generally slopes gently from the concrete noise-suppression fence to a low point, whereupon the slope reverses on the way back up to the garage. I then prepped the lawn for a rather long summer of darkness, set up two packaged garden beds, and filled them with store-bought soil. The work was not strenuous, but it caused me to perspire profusely. I plan to populate the beds with a mix of seedlings and seeds this weekend.
Cheers...
