Another nice day in the works.
Awoke to fog this morning, but it's cleared out to clear skies for the most part and full on sun at 9:35am.
I have laundry drying as I type and put away all the clean dishes. Just need to deal with breakfast dishes, scrape the bacon grease out of the cast iron pan into the can I save it in, in the freezer for when I need to use a bit of it.
Today is cookie baking day at my oldest sister's place in Enumclaw. Need to be there by 12-12:30.
Last evening washed a mountain of dishes and cooked a delicious supper of homemade hash browns, using one large Yukon Gold potato cut into small cubes, cooked in the cast iron skillet with oil, adding a whole shallot, cut up bacon to brown and several cloves (about 4 cloves) that I chopped moderatly fine to add to, and it was all good, topped with 2 eggs cooked sunny side up.
Yesterday was a great day of errands and a nice trek downtown for a while. I did get to check out the new Surface Pro3 tablet from Microsoft and I think I want one. Reason is, it has a mini HDMI connection that with an adaptor cable, one can then convert to standard HDMI for connecting to HDMI monitors and TV's. It also has a full sized USB port, so media card readers, thumb drives etc can be connected directly to it, and you can buy a keyboard cover for it etc. Plus, it runs on the modern Core iSeries chips, ie, the Core i3, i5, and i7, but dang, they are pricey at $799 for the 64GB/Core i3 version that has only 4G of RAM, and go up from there for a 512GB drive and 8G of RAM core i7 for almost 2 grand, but these are really just super small full blown laptops so the price reflects that. It offers stuff that no other tablet can, like run real software, such as Photoshop, MS Office etc.
Anyway, that's all down the road as right now, I gotta a house to find and buy.
So with that, time I go check the laundry and if dry, fold it and bring it upstairs and then take care of the kitchen so I can get myself ready to leave as I'll need to be ON the road by 11-11:30am at the latest as it's almost 10 now...
