 JP> Are still Up North or back home ?

As I don't have any internet access Up North (no phone, actually), if
I'm around, I'm back home.  (Occasionally when on other travels, I can
use someone else's computer setup to at least read stuff, but not
often.)   But I'm going back up there this coming weekend, for a long
weekend, as I have a meeting to attend there on Saturday.  :)
 
 JP> Doc's is also a BU for me now. I go over once a week, to clean
 JP> the D/L file, I do most of my mail on Sean's BBS, nntp is my other
 JP> BU on Darktech. Deleting messages on nntp is not that obvious, it
 JP> would be nice if any particular message got flagged on here as
 JP> "read" too, on nntp. No reason to complain.

I hit the backup bbs's about as often as the primary one(s), which is
usually daily, unless I'm away or extra busy otherwise.  I grab the
packets, and then, when I get time, I sit down and read and answer.  BW
is a lifesaver for that.  :)  All the *.QWK files I rename with the date
incorporated into the name (like DOC0909a.qwk, or CHO0908b.qwk) so that
the next one I get doesn't clobber the previous one.  I actually have a
utility that does it for me, which I've had for ages... :)

 JP> Today, after 5 weeks, I go to trim the hedge. I did the ivy
 JP> yesterday and filled up a large garbage can with the cuts.

Sounds like a big job.  :)  But necessary, unless one is into the
"sleeping beuaty's castle" look... 

 JP> ...    Tried my new radial saw, yesterday.
 JP> ...      Still have my ten fingers. 

Congratulations...!!
