I am posting a letter up soon. Actually have it in remote folder, but am
having trouble moving it at this point. It’s weird Sendspace which hogs my
internet sometimes seems to think I don’t have an internet connection. Well
it’s the onlything using the internet except mail and since I’ve moved a bunch
of accounts over to my linux box mail isn’t nearly as active. So it’s
sendspace’s fault *lol*.
Once I get it placed in there where I want it will share it and will also be
booting a copy over to DB.
I like doing lots of recordings too, have plenty of them that are just the
neighborhood around here, lots of thunderstorms. Sometimes record where we go
to when we go out, but my Olympus is definitely my friend *lol*.
