Hi folks, well.........i "Finally" got my dang computer fixed. Had to wipe 
(out) the dang hard drive and reinstall everything. Sure is nice to have it 
working correctly, and much faster. Been yrs. since it worked this well. No 
pop-ups, spam, freezes, and/or all the other crap assoiciated with trojans, 
worms, and virusus. I may have to go "Off List" again for a week or so next 
week, as i'm going down to Mt. Home, Arkansas again to tye at the FFF 
Southern Council Show, Oct. 1. & 2. But soon as i get back, i'll be back "On 
List." That is if i can find the time to deal with it after having been thru 
a pretty serious flood this past Sat. We were evactuated at 5:00 a.m. on 
Fri. nignt/Sat.morning, as i was just finishing up a spey fly, LOL. Actually 
i had been in bed about 5 minutes. Only two steps going down to our basement 
were left above water down there, and we had water in three (mudd, lol; 
sunken lol dinning; and gallery, formally our garage) rooms, all of which 
are built on a cement slab layed down by previous owners as the only 
foundation for an extension. Dumb and dumber. Fortuantely our bedroom (loft 
above the gallery and dinning room), which is also on that slab is high 
enough to have stayed dry. Also, we got no water in the main part of the 
house. Our property however is totally trashed.......a WRECK! It'll take me 
bout a yr. to get it back in the shape i had it in. I know, because this 
isn't the first time i've had to do it all over again. And it prolly won't 
be the last. "Life On The River, AND Brook." Fortunately too, all four of 
our adult dogs and 6 out of 7 puppies managed to survive also, with the help 
of one of our neighbors who rescued them all. When they made us leave they 
gave us no time for anything and then we were not allowed to come back until 
much later. I tried several times but the county sherrif said NO WAY. They 
had the road blocked off. My neighbor who saved the day came from the other 
direction and was on foot. He litterally had to wade chest high to 
accomplish the mission. Our house was a complete island, even the deck was 
under water. My sump pump is still going 24 hrs. a day. Fun, fun, fun in 
river city. NOT! Thank God, it wasn't much worser............worser.
