Wednesday Dottles

1. My mother's house sold yesterday without a hitch. With that I have no compelling reason to ever return to Michigan. That's kind of sad.

2. Last night I replaced the "receiver processor board" in my garage door opener. For the last 8 months or so, the range of the handheld remotes has been greatly reduced. Sometimes they wouldn't even open the door when standing right outside it. Turns out the government has usurped a garage door opener frequency rendering most garage door openers useless. I had to pay $175 to get a new board, 2 handheld remotes, and keyless entry box that operated at a different frequency. Since I basically bought my house because it came with an automatic garage door opener, it was well worth the money (and abundant sweat it took to put in).

3. My bluebirds, Millie and Jerry, have been bringing their brood to my bluebird feeder. Most mornings there are 6 of them sitting on or near the feeder waiting for their daily ration of meal worms.

4. I just got Adobe Photoshop Elements. Way cool.

5. D- returns from the Jamboree today. It'll be so good to have him back home. He returns just in time for a week of sweltering temperatures (if you believe the National Weather Service). He gets two days of rest then it's off to Rehoboth Beach for our annual beach getaway.

6. For your enjoyment, a snap of the 9 stitches he received in his foot while visiting the Jamboree.
