Rikki and I left for Cook Forest after I completed a Girl Scout workshop on Sunday. The workshop included 7 girls from Plum (6th graders) and we had a nice session covering the control board, various audio sources (demonstrating the phone patch by calling one of the moms' cell phones), digital recording and special effects. One nice surprise was seeing Barb Hall -- one of my closest friends in college -- in her role as a troop leader. Except for the yearly Christmas cards, Barb and I have not caught up in at least 10 years and it was great to see her.
We arrived at Cook Forest Sunday evening and were without television, cell phone, email or computer until Tuesday afternoon when we returned. Wintertime hiking can be fun and we managed to see some of great "high country" (with its dry, powdery snow and only a few footprints) as well as a few trails closer to river level. Rikki's pedometer showed that we hiked about 7.5 miles.
On returning to SLB today, there were quite a few phone calls and emails. We had a technical session today and established audio delivery to 91.7 WCUC Clarion as planned. Our debut there should occur this Saturday or next. Our colleagues at Clarion University of Pennsylvania have been great to work with and we are looking forward to extending our reach. I listened to WCUC quite a bit while in Cooksburg and enjoyed what I heard.
As positive as that development was, we finally updated our Antivirus software today -- only to discover that it causes a negative impact on our music playback system that manages nearly all of our 50,000-plus songs. Tomorrow likely will be an un-install, although I've learned to sleep on it. Perhaps it's simply a setting we missed.
While hiking, I thought of a new SLB puzzle in which we could describe an item by haiku. For example, can you name this word? Hint: We saw a model of one in the woods.
Quonset like structure
Giving shelter to natives
Starts with letter H
I'll give you the answer tomorrow.
