Pick up paint for all of the above by Sunday while it's still on sale at Menard's
Tile selected for downstairs bath (tentatively done)
Pick light fixtures for downstairs bath

Arrange to move firepit boulders
Pack... a lot... dear gods I have a lot of Stuff
Take garden tools and gloves to new house
Drop push mower off for a tuneup and blade sharpening

There's more, but I'll get intimidated by the length of the list if I keep going. The above are the things I should actually do this weekend!

grrrr... stupid verizon...

The DSL is alive at the new house, but I can't connect to it because they _insist_ that you run their stupid installer and it absolutely refuses to run on my laptop. Whether I download it or run it from the provided CD, it gets to the same point (checking for software updates) and just hangs there. System logs show tons of errors where the app is looking for files that don't exist or trying to access scripts that aren't configured correctly.

Of course, I _could_ have solved all of this with a simple phone call to support to get the user name and password set up, but since I keep forgetting to take a landline phone to the new house, and since I drove up there today w/out my cell, I'm still without working internet access up there. *sigh*

Oh well... tomorrow I'll remember the cell and hopefully I'll get a tech with a clue and we can get this all finished!
