We had fun this year with Autumn and Tyler coming up to visit us to see and play in the snow up near Inskip California. I didn’t realize that Sam’s Tahoe didn’t have 4 wheel drive so we ventured quite a way past where we probably should have but found a nice snowy playground on that last Powelltown rd exit. (We had room to back uphill a bit and ease our way back downhill through the treacherous icy roads.) Tyler was unmerciful as usual throwing hard snow snowballs at Grandpa, (me), and I did my best to duck but he hit home on more than one occasion. I got even with Ty by grabbing a bunch of snow and stuffing it down his back. Autumn protested, Grandpa…. why are you being mean to Tyler. I said, because there is so little time to spend with you guys and I want to have as much fun as I can while you are here. She must have said that 5-10 times before we were safely back in our warm Truck and SUV. Just before they arrived Tinker, (our Jack Russell that Sam put in our care was brutally mauled by a German Shepperd Chow Mix dog.) We asked them to pay the vet bills, and everything seemed to be going along fine when while Sam, Tyler and Autumn were still visiting we received a bomb threat because Nicki, (the owner of the dog told here live-in boy friend that the aggressive dog had to return to her parents house,) and he retaliated by making a bomb threat. Long story short, we called the police, filed a report, called Animal Control, to seal the deal. Next morning we were all playing Frisbee and throwing Tylers new sponge football around, (Grandma took them to the Dollar saver and let them pick what they wanted to bring home arms full and happy.) He loved to overthrow the football and then hit me with little rocks he would pick up while I had my back turned. I told him to remember the snow trip when I stuffed snowballs down his back, and that I had a refrigerator full of ice if he kept up nailing me with rocks. This was all happening while Sam was loading the Tahoe for the return trip to La Mirada. So we hugged each other and bid our farewells until we meet again and off they went through the concrete jungles to reach their home in Southern California.
Just now found out from Linda that Keri is pregnant with twins. Don’t remember the due date, you’ll have to check with Linda or Dawn or Douglas or Keri herself if any of them read this.

Melissa Marie Weaver married Andrew, (*ANDY*) Council at the TJ Farms in the outskirts of Chico California at 3600 Chico Ave. TJ Farms is a rustic southern style Ranch a few miles out of town off of Chico River Rd. David and Mary Moss hosted the wedding.
It was time to move Dad’s history off of OLM servers and incorporate them on Blue Host. I have limited resources on OLM and need to economize by consolidating on Blue Host. Scott made some mention of Hostgater but I like what’s available at this time of the Blue Host system even though it’s about twice the cost. Nemisys will still host his stories until I decide it’s time to shut that down or transfer Nemisys to this server. You can go there at: Memorial or http://www.weavervisions.com/memorial/ .

Complete is a relative term! It’s where it is, it is what it is, and, well I’m happy I even got this far. It uses some state of the art scripting from a book “Dom Scripting” by Jeremy Keith. The book was hastily sent to press before checking some typo’s and scripto’s but is the best book written on the subject to date. I will forgive Jeremy for his shortcomings in editing and scripting since this is an outstanding book on programming.
That said, we now have a photo center. Some time in the future I want to activate a slide show with it. (That’s in the book!) I also need to think out how I want uploads from you all to work on the site. Each photo needs 2 files, one cropped to 75 pixels high and one cropped to 300 pixels high. I would like it if you can do the work on your end. It may get down to you sending me 2 copies of each picture in it’s raw format and I will take it from there, but if you have any skills with cropping pictures using a jpg format I would appreciate your help. Gif files will work and png, but I prefer jpg if you got em.
The databases I’m transferring from nemisys to my current host are to say the least not nearly completed, so you may see some problems with that aspect of this site. Not to worry, it’s coming when I can get to it. Be patient and all will fall into place as time permits.
By the way, you can upload pictures on the nemisys side if you like. That functionality is in place here .

Got news that the guys were kind of rough on Melissa today at a family gathering football contest. Compound fractured her wrist and tomorrow she will go under the knife to correct the damage. Also got word that she is planning a September wedding in 2008. She should be well healed by then. Our prayers go out to her for a speedy recovery.
I have a crude image uploading capability that needs a ton of refinement but at least it’s a start towards members being able to upload their own family photos. If I can polish that script and finish the membership scripts then we have a site that can compete with any family site out there.

Well,
Scott has done it again! While chatting we explored our familiar lines of famous people. We uncovered some interesting stuff to say the least. On the Weaver side Scott is related to Johnny Ringo, Frank James, Butch Cassidy and Clyde Barrow. He is also related to Woodrow Wilson and several writers. John Browning and William Randolf Hearst. The Browning family and the Winchester family are in our lineage. So, we can make guns, and shoot them well. This is all amusing but not to be taken seriously by me anyway. The Weavers are related to Sam Walton, and Randolf Hearst.
