Yesterday was a nice day. Several nice things happened. First, I got my pickup back last night. It looks great. Life is a lot easier now that both Lorena and I can get around. If gas did not cost $3.50 per gallon, it would be even better, but it is still nice. Then, Conchita had the idea of putting one of our tables out in the screen porch. It was a great idea. We have one of those gray molded plastic tables with steel legs that we bought at Costco. We also bought some matching gray molded plastic chairs with steel legs at the same time we bought the table. The table is round. It does not really fit very well in the house because it cannot go easily go against a wall. The screen porch is the perfect place for it until we can get some wicker. We ate dinner on it last night. That was very, very nice. The temperature was about 70 degrees last night at 7:00 PM. We grilled up some steaks, ate them, then sat and enjoyed the very pastoral and calming scene with all the trees around the back yard. Nice.

Then, Christian and I went up stairs to install and play with the new Ubuntu Linux version that came out yesterday. It just keeps getting better. I had one small hiccup on install that had to do with the new eye-candy desktop, but there was a very easy solution that I was able to implement in a few minutes. My buddy, Brett, from work called and I walked him through the disk partitioning part. It is not hard, but a little hand-holding is helpful the first time you do it. That was all nice, too.
