Mailed a big box--the contents cost $2 at a garage sale, the shipping was $20. Typical. But the contents will bring more than $20 worth of pleasure, I think.
One of my two monitors died (for web design I'm using a dual monitor setup), and I've been fussing with that instead of getting my work done. After guitar tonight we're going to go over to Fry's and look at monitors. I may do a switch - give my son my remaining monitor (it is larger than his now) and get a single bigger one for myself. I could take his older one and give him a newer one, but I'm afraid it won't match up with my monitor for brightness. Otherwise, I could get another one like the one that remains, but they'll spread all across the front of the desk--probably much wider than I need. We'll consider all of the options, and try come come up with something that involves purchasing only one monitor.
Turkey will go in the tub of water this afternoon to thaw for a while, and tomorrow it goes into brine in the evening. My fridge's icemaker has decided not to work after all, so I'm going to have to wait until next month and then call them back and see if they can fix it. I'll buy ice for the cooler (the brine container will be submerged in the ice-filled cooler).
