Two t-shirts were delivered to the shop for me yesterday, one that I had ordered with the old WildFit logo, and one from my BFF, Sharon. Sharon found me a perfect Stanley Cup t-shirt, and I'm wearing it to the shop today. If the Minnesota Wild couldn't win Lord Stanley's Cup, then at least my second favorite team, the Colorado Avalanche pulled it off. So, this is my final gift from this year's ice hockey season, and I'll be wearing all of these for many years to come. Happily!

My second Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup Champions t-shirt is also fabulous. This one is from Sharon, and it arrived at the shop yesterday. I'm wearing it today - very happily. Thanks to my "Bestie". I absolutely LOVE it. The front logo says "Found A Way" with the A being the logo of the Avalanche. Perfect! |
I'll be watching Le Tour de France, of course, as they continue crossing the Massif Central towards the Pyrenees. BTW, if you didn't catch Stage 11 on Wednesday, and you only watch one stage this year, that's the one to watch. That's the one that they'll be talking about for years and years to come. That stage showed what bike racing really is all about with attack after attack after attack and it came down to the last little bit of road before a final winner. If you get Peacock, go and replay/watch this stage. I watched/listened to it yesterday afternoon while working on computer work for Etsy. I didn't get to "watch" a lot of it - glances here and there from the phone on my lap - but what a magnificent day! They'll be talking about Stage 11 as one of the best ever in the long history of Le Tour de France for a long, long time.

Today's stage is hilly, but the final climb at the far right of the profile map is a killer! It's going to be a day of hurt going over all of these smaller hills that still hold challenges for all of the riders. |
I installed some Range Extenders over the past couple of days, hoping to extend our WiFi into the back yard as well as some areas of the house that get spotty signals, like the kitchen. So far it seems to be working. I didn't get top of the line, more middle of the pack, but for what I paid, I think they'll do the trick. I might change the location of the one in the den to a different plug that DH suggested, but at least we're up to 4-5 bars from 1-2. A definite improvement, especially in the kitchen which has always been a problem area for me.

I bought three RangeXtd WI signal extenders a week or two ago and got them installed and accepted by my router on Wednesday and yesterday. They're actually quite compact, only 3" x 2-1/4" (8 x 5.5 cm) and installation was pretty easy. My home firewall is still not 100% happy with them, but it's getting there. |
I have to get going on my next prompt for LJ Idol. I know what I want to write, it's just getting the right words to come to paint the picture I see in my head. I could see it as a novel, but I'm just writing a story so I have to see if I can make it condense into something reasonable. Of course it's disappointing to have received my first strike, but if I'm lucky, I can hit it out of the ballpark this time for the home run.
 |
I'm really glad we had a "smaller" group when I joined and started writing with LJ Idol. Apparently, it has been groups as large as several hundred writers at a time, and I don't think I'd have the time to read and vote on that many stories. That would be a shame, because every writer in the group has their own style and their own tale to tell. |
On that note, I'm out of here. Lots to do today. Time to exercise my brain, not just cool down from my 2-miles on the treadmill. Have an excellent weekend and I'll be back on Monday. Be kind, be safe, and Slava Ukraini.
