Harbor Sunrise, The Day Begins
I got a phone call from Gal Pal in Dallas this morning as I was standing under the eaves at Open Door offering up my burnt offering (their cutesy term for smoking)expressing her concern that all was going well for me. I do not blame her for worrying as in times past when I do not put words with my pictures it has been a sign of depression. However, such is not the case this time I have been just a little busy and have worked a somewhat different schedule this wee. The last two nights I have worked the Audit shift and without sleeping went on to Open Door for services this morning. Granted Thursday's post released a lot of anger and that left me somewhat deflated and not wanting to say much on Friday, but I just simply was tired and out of time on Saturday hence the title (So Many Men, So Little Time) and a post full of eye candy. So really I am all right, I am meeting more people, getting more comfortable with my new position and generally life has been very good. The weather has not been so good with lo9ts of rain, wind and fog. That is supposed to continue for another couple of days so the outdoor activities have pretty much screeched to a halt for right now. It is not like the historical sights and museums are going anywhere, so I will get to them all, just traveling around in the rain is not really my idea of fun, especially on foot. I did enjoy the services this morning. I t is a real joy to attend services where the environment is upbeat and the message is positive and inclusive instead of divisive and condemning as espoused in so many pulpits today.
I have another friend who just this week converted from the dark side (MS IE) to FireFox2 and I had the distinct pleasure of writing him a mini tutorial on the themes, plug-ins and extensions I use to make my FF2 uniquely my own. I have really got mine fine tuned to provide me with the surfing environment that works best for me and that is what I especially like about FF2, you can customize it to suit your own surfing environmental preferences. As I spend many hours at the keyboard I find this trait to be highly useful to me. One of the more recent innovations I have added is the Cooliris Previews which brings up a smaller window in the same tab you are in when you highlight a link. This is especially useful when uploading photos for eye candy. As you know I process most of my photos with Picasa2 which only allows me to upload four photos at a time and as most posts have 28-32 photos I have the requisite number of draft posts to combine into the post to be published. Cooliris allows me to open each draft without leaving the manage post page in my Blogger dashboard, select all the photos, copy them and then paste them into main post in the next tab over. It is so much quicker than having to enter the edit process for each draft to do the same thing, giving me more time in which to write the editorial commentary. If any of you would like to know exactly which themes, plug-ins and extensions I use to make FF2 my own, just drop me a line at the email in my profile and I will be happy to forward them to you.
This weeks schedule should have me hopping as I have two Audit shifts , an evening shift, a day shift and a split shift. I am off on Friday and Sunday and Saturday is payday!. So my body clock should be thoroughly confused by weeks end. But your intrepid Uncle is up to the task and look forward to the challenge. As is the tradition here at Nichevo I will close with more outstanding photos for your man fix for today. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
