Nice and quiet...

The translation went pretty smoothly, and though I didn't keep track of the time, I estimate the whole thing took less than 3 hours. I followed up with a brief session with TurboTax (it takes about 5 minutes to publish an extension), and then I invoiced work done since the 8th.

* * *Talking about government paperwork, I have a load of it to do for the store by the time Lee and I leave for Texas (next Saturday, dontcha know!). I also have to make sure Drew knows how to do all of the services we're advertising in a flyer that's supposed to come out about the time I leave.

* * *The Mighty Fax program, by the way, doesn't support faxes from scanners, at least not directly. I'm thinking I'm going to have to install PaperPort or something similar to interface with the scanner, which will then allow "printing" to a printer which is actually the Mighty Fax application.

It's that or go out and get a commercial program by, say, Wednesday night and get everyone up to speed in it.

* * *Drew's been applying himself to tissue-and-balsa modeling with a vengeance. He picked up an inexpensive small model to learn, I think, more about rubber-band powered flight. His completed model of a German Messerschmidt looks very good, but when it came time to fly the thing, it went nose-up and then fell to the ground. I don't know what the problem is, but I suspect it has something to do with the balance of the plane.

We still have to do his tax return, but I suspect he might go the extension route, too. It depends on how I feel later tonight.

Cheers...
