In an eternal attempt to clean out my garage and driveway, I have finally disposed of all the left over wood from my deck, and created the hexagonal tree rings.  The rings are an eternal attempt to keep the St. Augustine grass from growning up around the trees. I was able to cut up and use or dispose it all, so now my driveway is clean. 

As for the garage, that is another story.  I did post my windsurf boards on Craigs List as I no longer have time to go out to the lake and windsurf.  Oh how hard that was.  I really do enjoy windsurfing.  But seeing as I haven’t been in 2 years and don’t forsee getting out there this summer either, it is probably time to sell them.  If I do pick windsurfing back up, I will probably have much more money and can afford new equipment.

So, once I get them out of the garage I need to attach the radial arm saw table.  Then, my wood shop will be nearly complete.  But alas it is getting hot outside and the wood working season is drawing to a close.  It is just too hot in the garage to do anything out there.

I think wp is configured just so.  I am staying up late to finish some deck plans for a neighbor down the street.  Bryant and I are going into *buisness* building decks for neighbors.  The plans are looking good.  Check out my new deck if you wanna.

Other than that, the summer just started and we have been on vacation already.  A trip down to Port Aransas with Bryant and his family.  It was a great relaxing time.  I took the windsurf boards, but didn’t even take them off my truck.  I have resolved to sell them on craigslist.  Lemmie know if you want them.

Okay, now I have really setteled…on wordpress. It won’t be readonly half the time (like LiveJournal) because I run the server and it is free (unlike MT).  Besides that, I found some really kickass plugins. But whatabout my previous posts of bloglines and live journal you say? Well, those are okay, but I just never was happy with the navigation of livejournal or the boring theme of Bloglines.  Once I found the LiveJournal mood and music plugins, the wysiwyg editor plugin (from Bloglines) and some really great themes I was set.

So I moved my posts from them the other bloggers to here and am in the process of moving my previous home grown journal to here also.  I should be keeping up with this on a more regular basis.  All I need to do is set up a random e-mail address and then I won’t even have to use the web interface (although I really like it now too).

Much thanks to the enhanced random picture generator for gallery and to Wordpress Support for guiding me.

I have a good working hack of the gallery that is laid out in full here:

For the gallery-block-random.php file near the top of actual code (not comments):
OLD: require(dirname(__FILE__) . "/init.php");
NEW: require(dirname("/your/absolute/www/htdocs/path") . "/path/gallery/init.php");
MINE: require(dirname("/var/www/localhost/htdocs/brhall") . "/brhall/gallery/init.php");

For the sidebar.php located in the wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/:

ADDED: < ?include(ABSPATH . '/block-random-enhanced.php'); ?>
