Doesn't look like much of a swingset yet, does it? (Updates)

Here's what one of these looks like before the "some assembly required" happens. Anyway, it's here.

Ian, which of these things is not like the others?

We've gone as far on the hydrant project as we can without turning the water to the house off for a little bit; we'll put that off till a reasonable time tomorrow morning so there's plenty of time to react if something goes wrong. On the other end of the line we can't install the hydrant without gravel to pour in around it, which now we aren't expecting to have till morning.

I just realized a few minutes ago that there's room on the retractable keyboard shelf built into my computer desk to slide the keyboard and mouse I'm using right now back out of the way and set another set in front of me. There's also room between my big monitor and the front of the desk to set my laptop there. Right now I need some downtime but a little later I may spend some time playing around with the notebook.

I got the drivers for my new Intellimouse installed on on my laptop OK -- that'll make navigating Vista a lot easier -- and installed the drivers for the extra function buttons on my new keyboard. When I gave the setup program for the keyboard permission to reboot Windows I found out Microsoft had downloaded 37 Vista updates when I wasn't looking and automatically started installing them when I said to reboot. Right now I'm waiting to see if I'm going to get control of the laptop back any time before my bedtime.

Hey Bill,

You better leave that swingset right where it is, in that box! I know it's going to bug the heck out of you seeing it that box but you gotta leave some stuff for US to do when we get down there! Pace yourself, Sir! hahaha

Glad it's in, and glad you have been making some good progress on things. Sorry about the yard...but afterall, I don't think I've ever heard a 25 yr old ever admit he can't do something. :wink:
