Here’s the link for the river level:

Ideally, the water level should be 4 feet or less for optimal 4-wheeling.

Computer Advice…

You are probably reading this because I’m tired of writing this stuff down on cocktail napkins. You asked me how to protect your computer or how to fix a current problem you are having with it. I probably told you to throw it away and get a Mac, especially if I had a few cocktails. If you are not financially or intellectually capable of making such a move, here are a few tools you will find useful for your PC. ***Note: Do not install more than one anti-virus program, anti-malware programs like Malwarebyte’s and Spybot can be installed on the same machine.

Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware – the free version will not update or scan by itself. I recommend the paid version so you don’t have to remember to update and scan.

Spybot Search & Destroy – excellent anti-malware

Avira AntiVir – the highest-rated free anti-virus by Virus Bulletin.

Nod32 – excellent paid anti-virus. However, I’m not fond of the way they simply allow your subscription to expire with little notification. Doug has used this for years with zero malware infections. Do not install more than one anti-virus, choose between this and Avira.

Recuva – recovers accidentally deleted files. Download onto a USB drive from a different computer and run on machine with lost files from the USB drive.

Ubuntu – live cd from which to boot your computer to recover files if/when Windows crashes. Documentation for this procedure is located here.

I’m Not Walking This Year…

But I’m working on the support crew in Minneapolis. Kick in a few bucks for the cause here. Save the boobies!

I’m Walking 60 Miles Again This Year

If you know me at all, you’ve probably heard about the awesome experience (and the nasty blisters) I had last November walking 60 miles over the course of three days. If you are one of my friends or relatives who is surviving breast cancer, I dedicated it to you. Thankfully, I know a lot of people surviving, but I also know the awful toll it has taken physically, emotionally and financially. That is why I walked and am walking again. We are getting closer every day to a cure and one day soon no one will have to suffer because of this disease.

You can track my fundraising progress here. Tell all your friends about it, every penny counts! Last year all the walkers in Phoenix raised $16 million. That pays for a lot of mammograms, treatment and research! I’m so grateful to all who supported me by donating last year! It means so much to me and even more to the people who’s lives are saved by these funds.

Try not to run me over if you see me training!
