I’m sitting here crying because Zach was finally awarded a $20k gold star in Kid Nation.
In other news, I found another propane company and within an hour someone came down to hook up my stove. In the oil business, like everywhere else, one company has swallowed up all the rest so it wasn’t easy to find another company since my own supplier wouldn’t respond. What’s nicer still is that it isn’t likely that this new company would respond so quickly if one of the owners didn’t remember me from when he owned his own small business and had to sell out to the very supplier that refused to help me, a ten-year customer.
Nice when being nice comes back to haunt you.
Well I did it. I replaced the laptop LCD and it’s working just fine. The only problem I had was with those damn screws and I finally was able to loosen and get them out with plenty of patience and time-outs.
I should’ve asked Miguel at Dell for some keys as well: The i, o, e, l, s and n are worn away after three years, though I’ve tried repainting them in white it hasn’t worked. 
Odd though that the main computer in the house has gone through about a half-dozen mice, four cases, three monitors, four or five motherboards, at least seven hard drives, three power supplies, and four operating systems and yet…I still am using the original Logitech keyboard.
