Good day! Welcome to Tuesday. Today was going to see the first of several stories born from LakeCruise. Unfortunately, the writing I did on the boat was on Wifefish's laptop, and she has a newer version of Word than I do. Said version saves in a different format than mine, and requires at least four extra minutes of work to open. Suffice to say, the next entry will have to wait a day or two. 
Little Danger loved the boat.
Little Danger loved the boat.I decided to kvetch to Wifefish about her computer's shortcomings with this email:
"I love you.
Also, I want you to throw your laptop down a well, launch a 20lb canister of napalm after it, and then emtpy a drum mag from an AA-12 on it. Use the green fin-stabilized grenade shells, please, as opposed to normal 12 guage loads. I apologize for the sudden need to dig a well.
Your copy of word uses .docx, and I can't open the stuff I wrote on the lake. This makes me a sad panda.
Love always,
Your old-office using hubbin. "
She of course replies logically that I can just re-save it on the lappy in the proper format. Well, I think we're missing a golden opportunity to have our own well and also practice for a zombie apocalypse, provided that we are attacked by zombies in wells.
She further adds that we don't have money for a new laptop, but if we're saving money on water bills, we'll have it in 3.2 years. So she's obviously correct, again.
Here's my answer:
"Always with the technicalities. We don't have money for napalm or an AA-12 either. But we own a shovel. Think of it as a self-filling rainbarrel. Dig it in the neighbor's yard, right where that big plate that says "Water" is. If there's enough pressure, we might get a fountain as a bonus."
Given the heat, I may have her on this one. Who can resist a fountain on a hot August day?
Of course, given that she's often smarter than I am, she might just turn on the water hose...maybe I should just re-save it on her laptop like she says. But I'm blaming her if I'm ever eaten by a zombie.
