What's happening for September

I should add to the title “and my Flickr disaster”, oh well. I'll tell you about that towards the end. To say I have been busy is an understatement. It's been Cub scouts, school for the boys, online HTML classes for me, searching for a location to hold the 2009 Region II IDOS D.O.G., cooking and working (60 hrs week with commute). Feel sorry for me yet…… Na, me neither.

Here is what I have done and am going to do:

  • Pulled Pork sandwiches cooked in a Dutch oven.
  • “Fire on the mountain” Dutch oven Apple Crisp.
  • Grilled London Broil with Tuscany rub.
  • 10″ Lodge skillet restoration.
  • Worked on my prototype Dutch oven cooking table.
  • Onion beer bread.
  • BBQ breakfast.
  • Jamestown 1987 Historic Railtown D.O.G. Sept 28.

Lots of fun stuff to write about!

Oh yeah, my Flicker disaster. I was working on uploading about 65 pictures. Everything was going fine, did my descriptions, tags, categories and titles. You upload a batch at a time and you can work on more as they are uploading. Well there I was typing and uploading, typing and uploading. When I was done I decided to delete the pictures from my camera (because I upload from the camera and don't store them on my computer) and then close the Flickr up-loader………… up pops a warning that the program was still uploading. Uploading what? The deleted pictures? See where I am going here? Well the program froze in the background at the beginning of the upload process and I didn't know! Two hours of work and 65 pictures gone! No posting what I had done the past two weeks …. &%$#@&!

Did you know there are “FREE” save your stupid butt programs out there that can recover your pictures that I was so foolish to delete!! Yep, very cool. Just type in “Recover deleted pictures from a camera” in Google and a bunch show up. And they work!!! It retrieved every one of those pictures. Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! So I go back to uploading them again (without errors) and start the blogging process again.

So hang in there, I am working as fast as I can.
