Working with wood, downloading files

Definitely got more done today than I did yesterday. Not all that surprising though because that sometimes happens when you're trying to be totally sure of a "clean" computer for hours on end. Most of that time was spent with me watching a TrendMicro/Housecall on-line scan for malware, grayware and spyware (which took hours and found 4 infections- sigh). But, this afternoon I went back and did another recommended (by TrendMicro) full system scan and they found only cookies. YAY.

In response to my last blog it was suggested that I try Linux 'Red Hat' and avoid those infections all together. I was told about a way to try a version of it via a "Live CD" without having to install it on the computer (the CD is basically the hard-drive). If you decide you like it you can just transfer it to the actual hard-drive. I'm still in the process of downloading the program from Ubunto.com.(Linux version). It still has over five hours to go. It's a 699 MB download and we only have "up to" 1.5 MBPS DSL. There's another site to download another Linux version called Fedora, but it's like a 3.3 GB download. Still thinking about when to download that one, but that's such a huge file. The way it was explained to me is that you download it, install it on a partition, then when you start the computer you get the option of starting up in 'Linux' or 'Windows'. And yes, I'm told you are told how to go the partition thing.

The earlier, after noon part of my day was spent out back where there are BUNCHES of Oak branches that've fallen off the trees. Dragged a couple of big branches up to the wood shed so that I can turn them into logs that'll need to be split. Plus while I was out looking for other branches I saw that there was a huge branch or half a tree that I could chainsaw into logs, which I did. Then I came in, rested, and took my daughter back out with me to help load a wagon with those logs and then she helped secure the load (made sure it didn't tip over) while I pulled it with the riding mower. That wagon load now sits in the wood shed waiting to be split - still in the wagon. I'm thinking that we won't *need* to buy wood for a while, after seeing how freakin' many branches and trees need to be cut-up today. That's a great thing. Our 'usual' wood guy is selling already split and cured wood for $50 per half cord, so not buying that will definitely help feed the kids. *smile*

Yesterday I re-found a tube of tar-caulking in the shed. I was thinking it was caulk like, not tar. But after I went over the previous bathroom window caulking with the tar-in-a-tube, I realized what a stupid thing that was to do. It stank-up the bathroom really bad when I turned the heater on in there to help cure it before nightfall. I'm not sure what to do. Will the smell eventually diminish after a while? Should I somehow remove the "outside only" caulking I used IN the bathroom? If so, how? And not, I didn't see the inside only part before I started putting it on the window.

Now I'm just writing and waiting for supper and then for "Survivor" to come on in about 20 minutes.
