peacock and pick up

 And a lot of rain. Not the ideal weather for outdoor activity like carpentry. Nonetheless progress has been made. The power company is due to show up today. We'll see. In addition, I have learned how to use the dictation function on my computer so that I can post a few words. Right now the M key, the j, u, and P keys are nonfunctional. I dislike writing out loud however. The sound of my own voice speaking in solitude gives me the willies.
