Well I finally got around to upgrading this site to Drupal 7.

It went better than I thought it would. My test run took a few hours to do, and it kinda failed. But I went ahead anyway, using the lessons learned, and it came out pretty well.

Now I can move on to making some of the changes I had been planning. If I have time. There's always something else that needs doing.

At the most recent Porc Fest, I had the pleasure of listening to a presentation by an extended family that is working very hard to become self-sufficient. They talked for over an hour on all the various aspects of such a life, but what I found most interesting was the mention of danger.

I'm not sure exactly why, but this morning's walk/run was the best one in years.

Last night I had some whiskey. Not too much, but enough to get feeling alright. For some reason I sleep "faster" and better when I've had some liquor. I think I sleep deeper, and so get a better rest sooner. Unfortunately, I seem to be allergic to cheap whiskey, so I can't really afford to drink every night.

Quite a lot of my organizing and updating is now happening on my account on Facebook. Facebook has proven to be a useful tool for keeping track of my friends and events.

As the video partially illustrates, I have been busy. I built the pathway down to the shore through some bushes in a couple of months. I had to hack out the trail (which had regrown after Roger moved back to Minnesota) and then I built it up to get it above the normal waterline.
