Good afternoon all. 70 here this morning and 82 with bright sunshine right now.

Happy Birthday to Ron

Safe travels to hospital and back home for Sodamo and wife. Praying for a successful operation!

Hang in there Drew. If each day is only a little better than the last the progress will add up quickly .

Still waiting to here from Jay and now Bird

Enjoy the weekend.

I wonder if there isn't a way to mail in your deposit? I wouldn't want to send cash through the mail but checks can be marked "for deposit only". I'm not so sure about all this digital stuff.

That's the only way I've ever done it, if I wasn't going to my bank in person.

Happy Birthday to Ron

I'm not sure how I missed seeing you were having another birthday, Ron, but best wishes for you anyway

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Happy Birthday Ron. Hope you get to spend some time with your family this weekend.

Prayers for Sophie's op tomorrow.

Good news on the Mom home front, she now has a NP that makes house calls during her home PT and the NP will continue after the 4-8 weeks of PT. This will make it easier for her to stay put longer especially during these covid times.

Good news Don.

Any improvement on the food?
in quantity, yes. I got three hard boiled eggs this morning instead of one.
If I get out of here without a stent put in I'll be lucky. Everything is high fat, high salt, and you'd think they'd have a dietician
making suggestions on healthy food I can eat within my diet. Nope...
So I ask for extra vegetables, which I don't get, I bet if I weighed the little pile I get it would be one ounce.
Fine for little old ladies, not fine for me. I dream of a mound of fresh cooked beans...
And remember going out to the garden, picking all those beans and cooking them up that night. Simply marvelous.
Well, two months of this won't kill me but I repeat seriously count-intuitive for folks trying to heal/get healthy by feeding them
unhealthy food. But this is the South and they are stuck in their ways, comfort food all the way.

I sucked it up and put out a plea to ladies in Garden Club to see if they would bring me some healthy home cooked food.
If that works out, I'll be a super happy camper. We are what we eat, just ask Don, and it pains me to eat stuff I know isn't good for me.

We need to sneak Drew a cake with some hacksaw blades in it. Vegetarian cake of course.

Rich, our company ended work from home at the start of June. Due to the spike in covid in the last week, they have implemented mandatory mask while away from your desk, or if someone comes to talk to you at your desk. Which is exactly what I've been doing the whole time.

I keep hearing radio commercials for Dinovite on my way to and from town, Billy. Coco's symptoms sound pretty much like what they claim the stuff cures. Hope they can figure out what's wrong, and she's back to her old self in no time.

I was very fortunate that Rebecca let me crash at their place back December before last, Kyle, but she's a bit of a psycho and married. Don't need that kind of trouble, eh?:laughing: I've slowly been accumulating the necessary tools and supplies so I can replace the A/C compressor in the van. Ended up with a set of these manifold gauges, but won't know how well they work for a while yet.

RNG, as long as you realize that women are right, 100% of the time, you will simplify your life 10 orders of magnitude.

Those are really nice gage sets. Mine need new orings, valve seats, and well, pretty much everything. BTW, Ted has you pegged.

Thanks RS. Looked up a kit to overhaul the AC, with a new condenser, compressor, and dryer, about $250

Hope Coco gets better day by day Billy. Man's best friend. Maybe something to that Dinovite stuff.

Roy, glad you're on the good side of feeling well.

I woke up at 3:45am, itching all over....like I had run into a spider's web (I get super itchy when I do). Started scratching around and found a whelp on the side of my knee. Looked for spider, but found nothing. Took some benadryl, rubbed some hydrocortisone cream on whelp. Went back to bed. There was no way I was going to wake up in time for work. Texted my boss, and he said I could get my homework done from home....(CNC programming).

Don and Rick, I was talking to a co-worker about tree trimming, and he said that Diablo makes a blade for a reciprocating saw that works really well for low stuff. He said he uses it on all the yaupons on his place because he can get them cut off flush with the ground. I looked them up, and they have carbide teeth!!! Woohoo.

They actually have a video showing that its OK to plunge them into the dirt.

Happy Birthday, Ron.
Good luck tomorrow, Sodomo.

Having internet issues...will be spotty for a week or so.

Hope all have a good day today. And a great weekend. Happy Father's day in advance to most all of you. Enjoy the day.

 

[daugen]

Best wishes for Sophie tomorrow.
Ron, happy birthday, many more to come

first batch of home cooked food coming tomorrow. yeah.

slept a bit this afternoon, feeling tired, to be expected. Did get to walk a bit outside, while someone cleaned room.
I went right after them and wiped the room down again...

my internet was funky also this morning. Had to switch back and forth between inhouse and my Verizon mifi, which also seem confused for awhile. But after rebooting computer, all came back

found out the problem on my phone was I never joined/signed up with Apple. Trying not to get too many connections with big data sharing companies

Yep, you need to register the phone with Apple in order to access the App Store. Pretty sure that involves giving them a credit card number for purchases there, even though you need never download anything that costs money. All of the apps I use are free except one or two, which I think were less than five bux each. As long as Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, holds his current support for very stringent security, I'm comfortable putting my data on their servers. It's encrypted before it leaves the phone/computer, and no one but me can access it. Not even Apple. Of course there are rumors that certain three letter agencies have broken in, but I haven't seen any concrete proof.

Since you have no access to the app store, I would guess you haven't updated the OS on the phone, either. That leaves you vulnerable to many online hacks that take advantage of flaws in both the OS and the apps that run on it. But if you don't use the phone for banking, making emails and calls from your contacts list, or keeping sensitive info in notes or in any of the apps, you don't have much to worry about.

If your gauge set is from one of the major manufacturers, you can probably get a rebuild kit for small money.

Ted is always right, Kyle.

Unlike most of the women I've been in relationships with. Which is why I'm single.:laughing::confused3:

I think the simplest way is to ask my friend to go though drive through banking, with my deposit card and my checks all endorsed for deposit only.
Sometimes the simplest is the best and this way she doesn't have to go inside bank

Just another account name and password. You don’t need to give cc. I must have over 100 such accounts now, what’s one more.
I use my iPhone to hold my passwords for my accounts. Probably the most secure way to store them.
