    I'll no doubt take some videos but will try to make them very short. That is because even a 20 second video with our camera takes up lots of space on the card and also takes a long time to upload. So, I'll no doubt have more still shots than videos. Now all I have to do is remember to take those pictures. Hopefully it won't be like on vacation when we admired the beauty of nature only later to say, "Why didn't we get some pictures of that?"

    I'll shoot some short videos with my iPhone. If I'm lucky I'll actually get them to upload to my YouTube account (that's not a given) and get them posted up here at some point. I should be able to post some photos in real time from the Mall.

    If you have probs uploading them to YouTube, you can always text or email them to me and I will put them up for you.

    I think I'll be able to get it to work. Sometimes my daughter uses my iPhone to shoot and upload videos and after she used it one time i was not able to upload to my account. So if I have to, I can upload to her account and tell her, "Hey, deal with it, that's what happens when you mess up Dad's iPhone..."

    A lot of people are staying at Hotel Harrington at 436 11th Street NW.

    We're only three hours away in PA so it's just a day trip for us.

    After a lot of internet searching on every travel sight known to man we have decided to just stay with our friends in Alexandria. I just cant swing $300 for two nights in the city plus parking fees. Just in case yall dont know pretty much all hotels in the downtown area charge around $40 a night for parkingo_O Well just take the metro in Im looking forward to meeting yall next week.

    Well, most times our breaks from splitting last about 11 months. :) As for righting the splitter, it is set right now. Horizontally. However, when it comes splitting time, it will be set right for that; vertically. :):drunk:

    Maybe Im missing something there Brian but that report appears to be from 2009 which would put us in the clear. From what Im seeing the forecast for next weekend is high 50s perfect weather for hanging out next to a bunch of woodstoves.

    Hmmm. Wrong link. Not sure how I screwed that one up.

    Several of my patients this week said we're supposed to get a bad storm next week so I just did a search on weather for next week and found several forecasts. Here's one that does indicate the possibility of a snow storm next week:

    http://m.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/weighing-next-weeks-east-snows/19724345

    I must have assumed all the links I ran across were current. But this shows the potential for an east coast snow storm Tuesday and Wednesday next week. By next weekend it will probably be melted if it does hit.
