Good 27º morning. Up early tinkering with my computer and hopefully .......
Yesterday was spent sitting here trying to figure out how to bring my computer back to status quo. AOL dumped on me. Taking away most of the address book. Still some I can't find, but have most.
I tried EVERYTHING I could think of...defraging, restoring, clearing cache, and updating security..... Installing AOL over the existing. Then I decided to completely uninstall AOL, restart computer, and then reinstall it. Works fine again. I lost my tool bar and have to find all my favs that went on there and lost all my signatures and my saved unsent mail, but that's minor. At least we're up and running! YEAH. What a pain in the 'you know'!
We did get sun yesterday. Still wasn't 'warm' but bearable..
The moon was out.....
And then we had a lovely sunset....
And from my friend Ben Hunt...
"Here is my grandson, Evan, age 3, dropping the “F” bomb."
Ben, he's darling!!!
Sarah (Nicholas) Chacon ... a Wilsonite... Graduated in S'63 with me..
Happy Birthday Sarah!
And Bob Havercroft is celebrating.... somewhere down in So Cal in his and Candy's motorhome.... Former LASD Homicide.....
Happy Birthday Bobbie!!

Dinner was crab stuffed trout. These lovely little swimmers came from Dave and Nancy... products of one of their fishing trips. Thanks D&N!
First I mixed canned crab (from Costco... in refrigerated section) with stuffing and mayonnaise. I cut the spine bones out of the fish and stuffed each one. Then I put them on the George Foreman Grill and drizzled some olive oil over all. Cooked until nicely browned. AWESOME!
All I know. Tired of the computer. Have a great Friday. Ciao.
If you didn't get my morning daily drivel email and found this anyway, then I don't have your email address... one of those that went into space! Email me!

This is hands-down the best carrot cake you will ever eat!
Beat the sugar oil and eggs together in a mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Add in the pineapple, walnuts, vanilla, and carrots. Stir until well blended. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes if you use three 8" round pans that have been greased and floured. If you used a greased and floured 9x13 cake pan, you will need to extend the baking time.
Cream Cheese Frosting :
Mix all together until smooth and creamy. You may need to add a tiny bit of milk or cream to get the consistency right. Spread on cooled cake.
