I have managed to restore most of everything that was cleared out whenI re-installed windows. First step was to get the Anti-Virus stuff up and running and them carry one fixing whatever I could fix. The sun is out and that raises the spirit somewhat and I remember to go and buy groceies. You got stuck into fixing this stuff and time flies by. The hunt for my missing wallet is also still on and if I don't find it soon I will be very displeased. I am sure it is in the house and I just can't find it. I will no sooner cancell everything and it will pop up.

These disasters are cutting into my paddling time and I have a very hectic week ahead getting ready for the Sociable Affair our annual paddlefest. I have managed to secure a truck to move the stuff to the river which is great and makes things much easier. The set up is actually the hardest part since I will be alone

  Patrick usually helps but work is in the way this time as we are early. The effort is huge but the fun folks have seem to make it all worth while and shoukld we get a few signed donor cards we have accomplished the mission.
