Sunset on the harbor.

My wife wasn’t expected to make it six months. The doctors don’t know, people don’t come with an expiration date stamped on their foot. It’s been over eight months for my wife. She isn’t getting better but she is hanging in there. She is getting better in one respect, her pain is pretty much gone now. I haven’t given her morphine in two months now.

...but on Tuesday, first it was the unicyclist! ...who only held the top spot for about five minutes before the Penny Farthing fellow took the lead!

...grab yourself a Sharpie, and redirect the path of the storm.

I'm re-retired Today was my last day of working part time at the school.

Drive to the store, get groceries, drive home, put them away...and be out the door to go to work in just over a half hour.

I hate doing anything useful before work

Some await the coming maelstrom at a Hampton Inn in Meridian, MS.

All relative!! All relative!!

It's 55% humidity. Sticky, disgusting, thick warm air. DO NOT LIKE!

So, the GTI project, since It's in the yard not the garage, requires element protection. I keep a roll of that stretchy saran wrap tape stuff to wrap things up to keep stuff out. Sometimes I wad a bunch of it up and stuff it in a hole to keep stuff out. Did I mention I got the transmission back in without a jack? Yeah, don't want to do that again soon. On to last weekend putting the starter back in. All painted up shiny, a couple bolts, easy peasy. Right up front where it's easy to see - that - what's that? Something shiny in behind the pressure plate? Apparently I left a huge wad of that saran wrap stuff stuffed in a hole inside the transmission. Only took about a 2 hours worth of cussing condensed into the hour it took to fish it out.

Both.

Go covet someone else's tires.

Abbott had a factory next to the Great Lakes naval Training center in Michigan. They collected urine from the recruits to make a clotting agent for hemophilia. If you were a recruit back in the sixties you did your share of guarding the head. They had to make sure nobody tampered with the urinals.

I'm at least 65% awesome.

Well, yeah it's warm, but it's a moist warm...

Ima hug you all over your sticky body.

55% is dry.

I think it is because teenagers sleep a lot.

Picking Lindy up from the vet

Had a question about BobCAD, so I go to their support site. Pawing through the FAQs, I don't find what I'm looking for. I want to configure the postprocessor to include tool info in the header, so that I can look at a program on my machine and know what cutter the program was written for. It's a simple postprocessor tweak, but each post uses slightly different syntax. Then I notice the chat thingie, so I click that. The guy who does all their training videos responds. I ask, "How do I include tool information in the posted code?" I don't care if it's in the header or at the tool changes. Fagor 8055i and Centroid posts". Now I was expecting him to take a couple of minutes to get back to me or tell me he'll email me the info. Nope. "Call support".

Something like this. I've used mine a ton. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-15-Amp-Corded-12-in-Double-Bevel-Sliding-Compound-Miter-Saw-DWS779/206541015

It's an option here, I decided not to turn it on. @jsharr can barely type his name, not gonna make him jump through those hoops.

I have enough problem keeping track of my own issues. And making up some of @jsharr's issues.

I think there is a difference between making weapons of war as demanded by your government, and employing slave labor. So I see Porsche and Mitsubishi who made tanks and airplanes, apparently without slave labor, on a higher plane than say Conti and VW, who did use prisoners. Now, you can probably argue that the companies themselves were forced by their government and army to employ such tactics. So it becomes a fine line between being complicit versus being strong-armed.

And here I thought this was a thread about me.

I'm ALMOST through it. Don't spoil it for me!!!!

Folks in the always sunny Pacific Northwest have no idea how the rest of us live!

And then explain "That's what Chat is for."

Well, I do have over hating protection

I have a woodpile, that gives me a pretty good workout.

I used to work with a guy who would alway type up Brain Instead of Brian on all of the reports including this MP’s name. Dude, killing me.... B R I A N...

I grew up in that part of the country. Sounds like Houston is getting ready for the hit. As I mentioned earlier, friend of mine here is from islands off the Louisiana Coast.

Dear Lee Friends, Richard Henry Bain 1941-2020 Richard Henry Bain passed away from a heart attack on August 22, 2020, after a short struggle with leukemia. He was born in Baytown on November 10, 1941, to Heloise Steib Bain and James Wilson Bain, Sr. Richard graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown and received degrees from the University of Houston and Rice University in the 1960's. He taught History, was choir director and track coach for over 40 years at Jackson Jr. High, Furr Jr.-Sr. High, and Black Middle School in Houston ISD. He was a track star at Robert E. Lee and Rice, made All State Choir and All State Singer and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts organization. A little known fact is that Richard never missed a day of school from kindergarten through high school graduation. For 20 years he served as the Music Director at St. Stephen's United Methodist Church and was a frequent soloist. Later, he joined the choir and again enjoyed soloing at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church. He loved the choir and especially enjoyed his friendship and easy relationship with Ann Ables, the Music Director at Memorial Drive. Richard sang with the Houston Tidelander Barbershop Chorus and in several different quartets for many years. His passions were playing his acoustic guitar, music, arranging music, singing, investing, all sports, old movies, and in his younger years, running and playing tennis. He had amassed a room full of trophies as proof of his talents and expertise. Richard is predeceased by his parents and grandson, Kurtis Sigler. He is survived by his constant, loving companion of 18 years, Phyllis Jackson; Son, Richard Bain Sigler and wife Barbara; granddaughters, Kyra and Keely, of Edgewater, MD; Daughter, Danielle Bain Sphon and granddaughter, Jadyn, of Conroe; Brother and wife, Jay and Bobbie Bain of Pasadena; Sister and husband, Mittie and Fred Railsback of Benecia, CA, and numerous nieces and nephews. Due to Covid 19, there is no service planned at this time. We will always remember his love for his children and grandchildren and cherish his quirky personality that made us laugh. He was loved and will be missed.

I can't wait for the I have decided I don't like humanity parody. But I totally agree with you on humidity. Lack of humidity is one of autumn's many charms.

Bite me

55% is humidity? We call that a non-humid day here.

Amtrak train last year between Vancouver and Seattle just a few days before the new year. Seems like a dream.

We took our cat for a walk in her stroller.

I'm sure it was covered in Twilight, dude. Good on you, though, for not knowing the details.

Looks good to me.
