Ubuntu-PA group stuff

This week when I wasn’t spending time with Michael or working, I had myself buried in Ubuntu-PA LoCo stuff. First task was getting our planet running: Planet.MeetLinux.com. That took longer than it should have, but at least it’s running now. The next big thing was getting prepared for a PACS meeting on Saturday. PACS is […]

I am hunting wabbits

Sly Fox Goat Race 2007

There I go posting about more events when I haven’t even caught up with talking about ones that already happened! This was last Sunday. First off, it was crowded this year! The event seems to have really taken off. We met Bob at our house, and then met up with Nita, MJ, Ron and were […]

Events!

I’m sure part of the reason I tend to get depressed in the winter is that I don’t get out much. I seem to have more plans in the spring and summer than at any other time of the year. Today I just booked my last free weekend in June! These are mostly local things, […]

On the mend

Thursday and Friday were a bit of a challenge with this cold and the allergies, but I think the Claritin is finally starting to build up in my system so my allergy symptoms aren’t so severe. The cold just had to take care of itself, and mostly left me feeling achy those two days. I […]

Sick

Monday I wasn’t feeling so hot. Tuesday I felt so lousy I called out sick to work. Today I feel bad too. My cough is worse (which makes my head hurt), I’m more achey and all around miserable. Michael suggested I call the doctor. I don’t go to the doctor much, afterall “it’s just a […]

* pleia2 loves beer

So, beer things. First off, my grandmother emailed me about my post about her father-in-law working in the Ruppert Brewery (it’s the post that wouldn’t end!). She emailed to share information about my great-grandfather’s situation back then, and had this to say: “I just read your journal and read about Ruppert Beer. I caught that […]

New Roof!

Yesterday contractors from Janville Home Improvements came by to replace the half of our roof facing the street. It was a perfect day for it, warm, sunny. I don’t have any complaints, they were professional and ended up staying for 12 hours to complete the job. I expect we’ll be contacting them in a few […]

What are these flowers?

This is mostly for Kris, because she’s my Garden Consultant – but anyone is welcome to answer. What are these flowers? I picked some last year and put them in a vase, I figured they were weeds and didn’t care because they were pretty. Kris saw the vase photo and became interested. They grow all […]

Jacob Ruppert

Some days I love the internet. Just yesterday I posted the entry about “Some Krumbach Family History” and this morning I received an email from K. Jacob Ruppert, the great-great grandson of the Jacob Ruppert, Sr. who founded the Jacob Ruppert Brewery. How cool is that? He emailed me to tell me he saw my […]
