BowerBlog

Hi all! Once again, I’ve neglected to update my blog on a regular basis. However, I had some free time this weekend, so I upgraded this WordPress installation to the latest version (2.1, the “Ella” version) and also fixed a few things. For instance, you’ll find that the subscribe button on the right now works and you can subscribe to get an email when I post to this blog. I’m also going to try doing all my posts using Windows LiveWriter instead of the somewhat sluggish posting interface that WordPress uses. We’ll see how it goes. Anyways, I just wanted to post something to test the new installation out and to let you all know I’m still here.

I’ll leave you with a cute pic of my friend’s dog, Phoebe, from this past Xmas. Everyone have a good evening and I’ll yack at ya’ll later!

As Always,
Chris

I’m back, the blog is back, bring out the dancing girls!

Well, ok, maybe it doesn’t warrant dancing girls (or boys), but none the less, BowerBlog is back online and will be updated again on a regular basis.I spent this morning fixing the Raffinhouse heating system. There were a couple of gas leaks and some ductwork needed replacing. Much to my amazment, when I removed the old ductwork, I found the chimney completely plugged up from roof work earlier this year! I pulled about 10 pounds of leaves, mortar, brick dust, and dirt from the base and finally got the thing open again. After cleaning it, it had an updraft that would pull the hat off your head! Yet another fire put out Tomorrow is gonna be busy for me too. I have brakes to put on a friends car in the morning, Phoebe the dog gets dropped off to the groomers at 11:30, and then I go out to the parents for lunch and to fix the brakes on their truck.This coming weekend is what I’m really looking forward to. I’ll be spending the weekend in Novi, MI, at the Pet Expo. The RaffinHouse crew will be staying at the Farmington Hills Red Roof Inn and will be helping out with the GLFRA’s booth. I’ve helped out at several of of these large pet shows and they are a GREAT deal of fun! I’m going to try to post to my blog live from the event and if I can’t do that, I’ll post as often as I can from the motel.

In the meantime, everyone have a great weekend and I’ll post again this evening or tomorrow. 

As Always,
Chris

This blog will be down and not updated for a couple more weeks as I am using to learn more about PHP and WordPress. Look for updates to begin again around mid-November.

As Always,

Chris
