Post:Another Long Weekend

From Fozzee.net

Back again from another busy weekend. Last Friday, Becky and I headed off to Kansas City for a quick getaway. We toured a coffee roasterie, and ate at a few interesting places, as Becky will describe shortly. We stayed in a bit different area of town this time, at the DoubleTree Corporate Woods (which is clear south), as it was more convenient to some of the things we wanted to do; That, and we'd gotten kind of sick of the Hyatt Crown Center... More on that on the Hotels page, as soon as I get the photos up.

Had a bit of a malfunction with my phone again, related to DG Alert Classic draining my battery in record time. I'd had it shut off, but after the battery had died a few days ago, it'd restarted itself when the phone rebooted. I finally just uninstalled it. It was really nice, because it made SMS [vibrate] notifications easier to feel with it's patterned rings (even with the Moment's crappy vibrator), but between the battery life issues and the fact that sometimes I got no notifications, it was just time for it to go.

On an aside, Thursday Night I started working on prototype for a window sill insert that I want to use on some windows in our house. Our windows are inset, rounded and painted into the wall, and have no woodwork or trim at this point. The bottom area tends too get dirty and with the textured finish is almost impossible to clean. More on this as it develops.
