This morning’s project was a light de-weeding of the back yard. Mission accomplished before it got too hot outside.

And then the three youngest grandkids came over. It was our job to watch them while their Mom and Dad and Aunt Stacy took the two oldest ones off to see the new Harry Potter movie. So we all went down to the basement to watch “Mickey’s Clubhouse” and play with the toys.

The dishwasher repairman came by. His prognosis was a bad water valve and control panel. Which he ordered, but he won’t be back until next Thursday. That means some dishwashing duties for me. But since there is just the two of us, not a difficult duty.

After the kids left, I did some testing of a new way to upload files for the “FileHurl” place (free unlimited file transfer service at www.filehurl.com ). Not entirely successful; it uses Flash forms for uploading, but the upload fails with an error. I’m testing it on my local ColdFusion sever – that’s the one with minimal memory, so that might be related to the error. But the Flash form might be interesting to play with a bit.
