Hump Day

Well that is two down for me, and I'm over half way there as we are leaving tomorrow afternoon. My lovely wife Michelle, this is her Friday as she will be off the next two days. As far as everyone else is concerned, just poke your head up over that noon time hump, just on the other side of a photo flashback and when I will be in DC, ans you can see the dawn of another weekend off in the distance.

Like I said, this is Michelle's last day this week as she will be taking the next two days off as we plan on heading east for a couple of days.

Yesterday was the end of life date for Windows XP Computers. Microsoft is no longer going to patch them or give any support for this product. If you are still running XP, as more and more time goes by your system will become more and more vulnerable. If you have not upgraded to Vista, 7 or 8 (or Mac) your system might start to become vulnerable to attacks. It was Microsoft's best and longest lasting Operating System, one that we still have computers at work running, but now they are all going to have to be put on a subnet and denied access to anything. I have three systems at my desk, one is an XP but we are going to upgrade that to 7 once the keys come in.

We have a solid set in stone date and location for this years Pic Nic. We have the large Krepp's Pavilion on July 6, 2014. Mom called me yesterday morning and basically said what days work and time is running out. So a few phone calls to see what was available and a chance to see what weekends people could not do, and this is what we come up with. The shelter is ours that day, there is a big playground right beside it and a swimming pool as well. We'll be in the shade or under cover, so it won't get too hot or we won't get rained on. Date and location is set, now it's time to start planning.
