One of those mornings where I might just ramble . … about a grape, where my photo is, and well . …

Spent I bit of time figuring out Skype.  Yeah, OK, OK, it is a simple thing to do. Download and install the program. Click on the new icon and – well if your brain foggy like me – augh stare at the screen and wonder what the heck am I suppose to do! I finally found a few names I recognized and sent out an invite – well, I think I sent out invites? My friend Tim and I managed to get it working with me on video and him just voice. That worked until Tim decided to try and hook up his old  webcam. ha! I tweeted me that he has located the missing driver disc and maybe today we will get to try it out video to video.

I was surfing the net and came across an blog entry where someone discussed making plasma with a grape. Well you know I am there! My little experiment – yeah I had to see if it really worked – came out OK and I did video  tape it.

Spent hours messing around with the video program, read a bit,  switched video graphic cards in the computer (Mike wanted the ones in it because they can be hooked up in triple configuration), and I chopped the remaining bark off a large tree branch the came crashing down at 4:15 am. Now you know why I am up typing at 5 am. The dang thing was (and still is) blocking the drive in a way that if a drunk or dumb driver (we have a lot of those here) came around the corner in the dark and swerved to miss it they would end up in the side of my truck.  Managed to get it more at an angle so hop everyone misses it till someone stronger than I can move it.

If you want to see where one of my photos ended up,

what happened to the little  grape,

or some of my attempts with the video stuff it is all right here:
