So here I sit, sipping on a 1990 Silver Oak (fabulous but needs to breathe), blogging, and switching between the Women's Basketball Final (UConn is up by 12 over OU sigh...) and the first baseball game of the season. Peter has just toddled off to grill steaks. Hmmm....I think this must be one of those peak life moments!

Be sure to scroll down through the entire entry for today - technology action shots and great moose pictures at the bottom!

BIG NEWS FLASH: The Moose is back!

Here's our moose munching down on one our Mugo Pines. Note the big spot above the eye - this would indicate that our little 2 year calf is not a female! The spot is where the right antler will grow:

 

A moose action shot! Note the rear lifted left leg:

 

A really extended neck and big ears:

 

Wait these aren't moose! They're Peter's stuffed animal collection (well "our" stuffed animal collection):

Adventures in Technology: Episode #1

John and Steph attempt to install an 802.11b Wireless Access Point

Below are three pictures that are a sterling example of highly qualified technical folks in action! John Barnhardt and I are installing a cable modem and an 802.11b wireless access point at work (location will remain nameless).

First of all, we have to find an active coax cable. Check out the rats nest!

 

Next we need to configure the Access Point. At first everything was going well. Doesn't John look professional? I think he should send this picture to his mother.

 

However, things went South quickly. We could not get the wireless access point to talk the DHCP server. So we decamped to a known environment where we could continue to debug. For all you non-technical folks that think we techies always know what we're doing, this picture should debunk that myth. Note our very non-professional sprawl on the floor (by the way, I think I look like a boy in this picture):

 

As of this writing, John and I did not achieve success. We will continue to persevere. We're going to call in the big gun - Chris Erickson. He should be able to get this puppy up and running.

More photos today. Several cute moose shots taken from the kitchen window. Ever since I moved in with Peter a month and a half ago, we have had three moose basically living in our yard. Our little moose herd consists of a cow, a two year old female calf, and a bull. Today's pictures are of the calf. She's a sweetie.

Here she is looking over the fence:

Moose Butt!
