Considering how many people responded with birthday wishes to my earlier post, it felt somewhat silly thanking each of them individually. So I'll do it here, and hope you all don't mind. Thanks again.
Hill? I didn't notice any hill...
We have a freezer now. Luckily, the nice installation guys were able to
bring it in through one of the garage side doors; they couldn't figure out
how to open the main door (it's an intelligence test, involving two
sliding bolts). The rest of the garage is unreachable behind a pile of
lumber, boxes, camping supplies, and other debris that they had to move in
order to clear the path. I wasn't there; got a cell call from the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}

to school. Luckily while I was stopped at a light.
But we have a freezer. We've been wanting one for twenty-odd years now. It's big (20 cubic feet).
What does pi have to do with it? Sorry, I thought you said "pie".
Stupid goddamn Windows! For some reason, Windows on the Younger Daughter's machine wasn't responding to the keyboard. Mouse worked fine, and the keyboard worked for the bootloader and Windows login, so it's not hardware. Anything I could think of to do to fix it would, of course, involve typing in a URL to find software. Nuke and pave. Takes roughly half an hour to load the install image from three CDs, and probably another two hours to install a minimally useful set of programs (Firefox, OOo, network config for the printers). Foo.
