TV and stories.
My old television was too old for the digital converter, or I couldn't figure out a way to get it hooked up, anyway. When analog tv discontinued, that ended my television viewing. I bought a new digital TV a couple months ago, nothing majorly terrific.. just a 19inch flat screen. I hooked it up, and...nothing. It turned out that I needed an antanna. I ordered one over the Internet, and left it in its box for a couple weeks. Finally, last Saturday, I hooked up the new TV with the antanna. It was pretty frustrating, at first, but I finally realized I needed to run the "scan" feature, and now, I have 8 channels.
While I didn't have TV, I spent some time reading, and watching videos. I thought up a couple stories, but didn't fully type them, until today. I've posted them at The Practical Press. I still have a couple more that need to be finished. I guess I'll work on them, soon...but meanwhile, there are a lot of commercials I need to catch up on!

Friday Cat Blogging - I don't need another kitten, I don't need another kitten, I don't need...
I'm sorry for putting all the pictures on this blog, but I was too lazy to put some on the other, and link to it. I had to check in on these kittens, this past weekend. They are so darned cute. I don't need another kitten. If I did take one of these beauties, I would opt for the biggest black and white...but I'm not taking any more kittens. What cuties!Happy Friday! As always, check out the wonderful animal pictures linked for Friday Ark at The Modulator.

Why do I hurt?
My sister invited me out to go riding, this morning.
Obviously, the horses hadn't been told, so they were lazing around in the pasture.
The rest of the pictures are here.

Finally - took the kayak out.
I've been meaning to take the kayak out, all summer long. I had to work a couple weekends, and before that, all sorts of things had to be done. Finally, I took it out on Sunday. It was a great day. There were a couple boats out there, too. Since those people were fishing, I didn't paddle as far as I wanted to. I didn't want to scare the fish, if they were catching anything. I made several laps across the water, and spent some time just floating around. It was marvelous!
I was able to do some bird watching, too. I took several pictures, but I couldn't get a really good shot, and as I moved too close, the heron took to wing. The wing shot didn't turn out very well, either.
But, all in all, it was as just as fantastic as I thought it would be.
