Inside, the Power Plant is structurally sound and surprisingly clean. The plant is currently being used to house a backup generator and as storage for Moorhead Public Service.

Day 119 (04.28.2012)

Another day at the ballpark. I so love getting the chance to go see G and the rest of the team play!

Unfortunately they lost, but the boys played great and I can definitely see some improvement in their skills. G got hurt when sliding into a defective home base the inning before this play, but he still wanted to play so his position was switched from first to shortstop to give him a little more rest (he hurt his knee). His injury didn't seem to slow him down any as you can see him here backing up the second baseman. He went on to hit a triple his very next at bat.

Go G Go!

Apparently not many people know this, but you can thin your Time Machine backups right from the Finder:

1. Open a Finder window (say, for your boot drive), then trigger Time Machine.

2. Pick a backup using the time slider on the right edge of the screen.

3A. In the resulting Finder window, pop open the gear (Action) toolbar item, and choose "Delete Backup" to remove just this particular backup, for only this point in time.

or:

3B. Instead, choose "Delete All Backups of 'whatever'" to remove every backup of this item, from all time periods (Mr. Data, you're a clever man).

It's still a manual process, but it's better than risking breaking your Time Machine backup archive - or enduring the hourly pain of a nearly-full backup drive.

Invented clarinet and handwritten music. He brought home/found these "old school" headphones at his school that they were giving away for free.

Note how he has the headphones plugged in to the side of the recorder... Kids are awesome. It never ceases to amaze me what fun they can have with a box, some recycled toilet paper rolls, and some tape.... Those photos for another day...
