100 years of farmers - geneology stevanato
Category: family
I was going through a lot of the family documents I scanned while Nonna was alive.

I found this one document that maps a hundred years of Nonna's lineage issued back in 1941. It goes back even further though.

At the top it says, "Dai Registri Parrocchiali esistenti in questo Archivio, risulta la seguente discendenza ultracentenaria della famiglia di agricoltori." Which according to google means, "the parish registers exist in this archive is the following hundred years, descendants of the family of farmers"

Its neat to find out their names.
Grandfather: Giorgio Armenia (07/04/1915)
Grandmother: Pierina Stevanto (06/29/1915)
married 01/31/1948

Great Grandfather: Fortunato Stevanto (06/14/1878)
Great Grandmother: Teodolina Rizzato

Great, Great Grandfather: Antonio Stevanato (02/08/1850)
Great, Great Grandmother: Teresa Casarin

Great, Great, Great Grandfather: Pasquale Stevanato (10/03/1809)
Great, Great, Great Grandmother: Furlan Maria

Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather: Angelo Stevanato (05/08/1789)
Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother: Margherita Battiston

Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather: Pasqualin Stevanato (05/08/1789)
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother: Girolima Salviato OR Salviato Girolima. Its weird because the other names on the document are lastname, first but salviato doesn't sound like a woman's name.

Do you have a green thumb as well? I think my family was into a lot of teaching and more teaching...

One handed cartwheels
Category: body
I can finally do a one handed cartwheel again. Next step: roundoff, back handspring.

Well done.

I am SO jealous. I can't do any of that. I don't have enough upper body strength yet and I guess skipping yoga for 3 weeks in a row is not particularly helping the cause...

Basra's first day outside 2011
Category: pets
This was his first day outside. Its weird, this morning I brought him in grass and plants from outside to eat and he barely touched them but as soon as he got outside he chowed down for like 3 hours.

stripping...
...wire is really time consuming. I think it is left best as a third world enterprise.

I had all this wire I ripped off the house after moving the server.

image

I spent several hours, got about 1/10th of the way through the wire pile and ended up with like 1lb of copper which is worth about $4.50 on the open market.

image

Luckily, Its projected to go up 2 cents over the next two months. In the meantime I am going to make myself the largest copper ball ever.

Deal!
paul - 07/02/11 01:52
I'll trade you for Indian food.
tinypliny - 07/02/11 00:32
Do you think I could buy a lb or 2 off you?
tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:21
You could melt it all into a copper bowl. I hear the copper bowls are the best for whipping cream and beating eggs (if you are using elbow grease and a hand whisk).
tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:19
Wait - why were you doing this? Why not just store them as they were in a coil?

Thank you for not burning off the plastic.
