A fairly fabulous Friday...

alexpgpOkay, so we started with the ham-as-in-amateur-radio breakfast, where I found out that there is no apparent consistency in the making of the Pagosa Lodge's huevos rancheros, which didn't bother me too much at all. From the Lodge, I went over to open the store, and eventually ended up at home, working on the translation due Monday.
That is, until I was called by my lone, local IT client, for whom I am supposed to make some changes in a Perl script. The changes are pretty much planned out, but I was stymied by one of the requirements, which we discussed over lunch at Tequila's, a quasi-Mexican restaurant downtown, where the river takes a sharp turn thataway, and across the water from the town's "spa" (where one can take the waters, and where locals get a deal in that they pay 'only' $10 for a session at the Springs).
The rest of the day was pretty droll. I got my semiannual haircut (at least it feels semiannual). I finished the translation. I watched some TV.
For the second day in a row, I've thrown out a boxful of old stuff I no longer need (papers). It's easy to throw out papers; I can do it all day long. Books, on the other hand, are an entirely different story.
I just took a look on eBay to see whether books by Murray Rothbard command any reasonable prices, as I have an autographed copy of his one-volume Man, Economy, and State published by Nash in the early 70s. No dice. The only item on sale is going for a buck, although there are 5+ days left in the auction. I also looked to see if there is any demand for a shrink-wrapped copy of the ECCO organizer software, and came up with a goose egg there as well.
Anyway, a box of stuff thrown out here, and a box of stuff thrown out there... pretty soon, I'll have no more junk lying around!
Cheers...
