It's one of those


It's one of those weeks where I'm glad it's Friday.

I was back in Shell today, and didn't have a long to-do list. But as sometimes happens with computers, that soon changed. I had one PC that wouldn't start. Another that wouldn't connect to the network. Needed to go to an employee's home to set her computer up for e-mail. Set up Bruce's laptop to connect to the LAN and set un an e-mail account for him. Bruce is a new pilot who just arrived yesterday. He's been flying with MAF the past two years in Venezuela. Was reminded that I still hadn't finished setting up the evangelical church in town with e-mail. Bruce and I started that project months ago, but ran into some problems and never finished. Since then I obtained a Spanish version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express so I tested that today to make sure it would work for us.

On top of all that I managed to figure out just how I'd make the throttle and gas pedal work on our go-kart. I'm excited about how close I am to finishing that project. Ellyn was busy all day decorating for a fundraiser at school. The grades 5-8 put on an international dinner, and many people dressed up with costumes and attended. It was a great time. At the end of that we had elections for the school board for next year. Since I was the only one nominated, I'm the president again.
