The events of this weekend made it more than apparent to Jodi and I that we had some leaks to seal up. Over active storms dumped huge amounts of rain on us and started leaking in the tiny windows to our basement. We've also noticed lately that our shower was apparently leaking into the rest of the basement. While out shopping, we picked up some silicone sealant and a caulk gun. If I had to do it over, I'd have saved the money on the gun and just borrowed dad's electric one, ow my aching hands and arms! Anyway, earlier today we sealed up the worst 2 windows and tonight I put a bead of sealant all the way around the edge at the bottom of the shower. It's 3 hour curing stuff so it should be ready for me to shower in the morning... stinky stuff though, I think I was starting to get a little high off it as the ventilation wasn't very good in the basement while I was doing it. I felt nauseous afterward and had to lay down both times. Now it's time to cross our fingers and hope it worked. One of these days this week I hope to finish sealing the windows though I may need to buy more silicone first, I used up 3/4 of a tube on 2 windows and there are 3 to go with only one other tube unless I use what's left of the stuff I bought for the shower (2 different types for the 2 different uses). Stay tuned.

I've been letting my domain live on Google servers for a few years now 
and it really hasn't given me grief. I spotted a news item a few days 
ago about a service called Posterous which was taking aim at services 
offering hosting of blogs like blogger, wordpress, etc. As I read 
more, I liked what I saw. The ability for me to integrate my website 
and blogger blog as well as auto update all my social networks. The 
icing on the cake was that I could import my blogger blog. I went 
ahead and set up a beta site and began the import. It wasn't perfect 
but it did OK. I write this from my Gmail compose screen. Something 
available in other blogging systems but something I never really took 
advantage of until now. When I think it's ready, I will switch my main 
website to the beta site and set up a redirect for my blog. Can't wait 
to see how this is going to work. Turn the page...

I'm using various blogs elsewhere, should I unify under Posterous? I'll be the judge of that!
