Saturday
- moving. Twelve hours plus, intensive labor somewhat mitigated (made
possible, actually) by a couple of cheerful hardworking teenagers, John
& Tyler. More tomorrow, but we got most of the heavy 4-man stuff.
The low point in all the moves I've done was an old boss, Bill M. Mike wasn't quite that bad...
Friday
- back to Lancaster. My brother is moving this weekend, I'll be
helping. He has a U-Haul, and the old rental and new purchase are only
a few miles apart, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm bring the spare work
laptop, but am not sure that I'll have time to use it the next few days.

Thursday
- working. I guess I need to add to the books read list: #41, The AI War (Biofab #3) and #42, Final Assault, (Biofab #4), both by Stephen A. Berry. A lot of deus ex machina,
happy coincidences, a number of pointless plot threads taken up and
discarded, and copious rather boring 'action'. I remember liking these
when they came out originally - the last being published in 1988 -
perhaps my tolerance for space opera is declining.

Sunday
- the day started off well enough, there was more than enough to do. In particular progress was made on the yard work.
A late lunch at an Asian buffet unfortunately resulted in a bit of
stomach upset, and not much got done in the late afternoon and evening
:-( This gave me time to finish Book #40, The Battle for Terra Two, by Stephen A. Berry. This is the sequel to last weeks Biofab War, and about the same level. In this book the hero is sent to battle the evil insectoid aliens in an alternate universe.
Tabulating Books Read So Far This Year (BRSFTY) I noted a problem: what was Book #24? I see that it doesn't seem to be in the weekly blog, but the timing would be about right for:.
