Hey Nancy!

 NB> the highs will be mostly in the 50sF, so, what, around the
 NB> 20sC...?

More around 15C-ish.  20C is more or less 70F.  We're sitting around 15C for
highs this last little while.  Lows have come up to around 5C which is a bit
cool but above freezing so it looks like we're past the threat of snow.

 NB> Our primary phone is a landline, with cordless handsets

My favourite, although I am not much of a phone person but definetly prefer the
 above over all other alternatives.

 NB> Never knew that they weren't being made anymore

As far as I know they are.  I was talking about the plain old cellphones which
have been replaced by smartphones ... until recently or so the story goes.  It
was something I heard on the news.

 NB> But that's part of the fun.... isn't it...?

It can be ... not always though.  In this case I plan to have fun given that
I'll probably be the only one using it ... for now.  I'm still waiting for a
part which should be here this week.  That is when the real fun will begin.

 NB> Looks fine from this angle, too

Bonus!  I still have it on but it isn't doing much at the moment.  I'll have to
 think of something for it to do now that it's fulfilled it's original task of
building a custom 64 bit linux for itself ... and any other of it's ilk that
might happen to show up.

Life is good,
Maurice
