The Bezabor Log

"The Bezabor Log" is my online diary since retiring in September 2005. My blogging name,'Bezabor', is an archaic term used mostly by canallers in the 1800's and early 1900's. It refers to a rascally, stubborn old mule. In the Log, I refer to my wife as 'Labashi', a name she made up as a little girl. She had decided if ever she had a puppy, she'd call it 'McCulla' or 'Labashi'. I'm not sure how to spell the former so Labashi it is. Emails welcome at bezabor(at)gmail.com.

Bezabor: ACFF (posted from home)

We're headed out to the American Conservation Film Festival at Shepardstown, WV today. Its program (at conservationfilm.org) looks pretty good and we're interested in seeing the National Conservation Training Center, the Shepardstown Opera House, and Shepard College. The program runs for the next few evenings and then all day Saturday. We had been thinking we would go down for just Friday and Saturday nights but we don't want to miss the other films so we'll spend the next few weekdays touring or geocaching in that area.

I spent the morning working on the computer--- doing emails and contacting HJC Helmets. The latter comes from having dropped my helmet in a parking lot, which broke a small, but important piece of the chinbar hinge. HJC responded very quickly and offered to send me a kit to repair it for free--- good deal!

The afternoon I spent working on our television and sound system. Since returning home we decided to drop Dish Network and get a package deal for cable and high-speed service from our cable provider. Part of the deal was a Dish buy-back so my satellite receiver had to be turned over to them in order to get $12.50 a month off my bill for the next two years. But that also meant I have to re-wire to get the DVD player and VCR and stereo receiver all interacting as they should. It took me most of the afternoon but I have everything working now.
