The onset of the first hard snow prompted me to put the plow on my truck and the snow tires on my car. While I was doing all those outside chores, I slipped on the front deck and landed on my back. I landed ok, but now I am pretty sore from the experience. I guess I shouldn’t have waited so long to do those chores.
As you can tell, I have this web site back up, running a different CMS. It has no plugin for a recipe database, and I will have to decide what to do about that. I will be getting the content back up as soon as I figure how to transfer it from the old CMS.
I have also gotten the NILUG web site working again, though it currently has even less content than this site.
