Wandering Aimlessly in the Deep Water..

Tuesday we had lunch in Polo, Missouri....   The restaurant is in the middle of the town and is called the Red Rooster...

Its kind of a nondescript building with white siding...   But we filled the place as usual...

I happened to be front and center in this picture, but it shows the inside of the cafe fairly well too.

From there we went off on a ride across most of Northwestern Missouri....  This was fine until we tried to cross the Platte River somewhere South of Ridgely on a county road with only a letter for a name...   With all the rain, the river was about 10 feet above its intended banks...  There was water as far as we could see and the road just disappeared into it..

We turned around and after riding back North to Edgerton we then went West to Dearborn..   Having had enough of the small roads, we got on I 29 and high tailed it back to KC...

The map says we only went 191 miles, but after wandering aimlessly all over West of Camden Point in the country, I had 227 miles on my trip odometer...

Windows Live Writer

I found this on one of the Microsoft Forums where unhappy users were taking them to task....


We're working getting WLW updated/open sourced.

Scott's by line indicates he is on the Microsoft team.....

If they do open source this program, it would be like linux where the users are able to do the updates...  Open source also indicates that they have no interest in using or maintaining the program.....

Ceiling repairs..

What a mess!

It will take years to clean up all the dry wall compound mess....

They will be back tomorrow afternoon to begin painting the new knock down ceiling again....  I say again, because this was done and painted last Friday, but the big boss man came and looked it over saying that you could still see the place where it was patched...  And to him that was unacceptable...

I had kind of steeled myself that it would look patched when they got done, but not the big boss...  He said it is either right or it isn't... And if you can tell we worked on it, then it isn't right....

Well OK then....  

Changing subjects...... I have used Linux for years and because Live Writer only works on Microsoft operating systems, haven't been able to run anything but blogger's software...  So this past weekend, I went out an bought a Windows machine thinking I would add 10 to it when that becomes available..  And I downloaded Microsoft Essentials Live writer as part of my setup....  Well so much for that idea...

I don't see mother Google going backwards on their file definitions and Microsoft hasn't updated the Essentials programs for the last three years..  I wonder if we are just stuck with no more writer... or who will blink first....  Need to send lots of complaints...  Send one every day, to both companies......!
