Cleaning Day. New Virus!

It was all damp outside, and not conducive to working out there. Jay wanted to work today, so I picked him up.

Ray was busy going over all the coax connections in the guest house. He bought a new flat screen TV, and, of course, wanted to get the best reception out of it. His old TV has been snowy on some channels for quite some time, and we knew that it had to be in the connections. He used contact cleaner on them, then went to town to buy some to replace the ones that where old and corroded.

Jay was going to help me Mop-N-Glo all the lino here. He likes doing things like that. We started late as we had to do the time sheet. He hadn't worked much, so it didn't take too long!

We started in the dog room, each with a vacuum, vacuuming everything. Grooming puts little snippets of hair everywhere. I sweep it up twice while grooming, but it still gets in little places.

Mime and Patches, the two original foster cats, were on the screen porch as it is a bit cooler today. 'Pretty' was loose in the dog room as we had to put her cage up on the kennel cages, to have access to all the floor. She sat high up, and just watched us, she is not scared of the vacuum. She seemed to glad to be involved in what we were doing. Curses on the folks that abandoned her!

NEW VIRUS:
I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus.
Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.
Symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail.
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you.
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment.
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished.
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND."
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE."
IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS."

After an episode with a plug getting stuck in a GFI outlet, one prong coming off in the outlet, and putting a new end on the cord, it was a good day.
