Been about 6-7 years now. Although my HP Chromebook has started shutting down randomly. I just deal. Chrome tells me do you want to recover your pages? I click restore. I would get rid of it but I like the resolution. I'm good for another couple years on my model End of Life

I went through the 50....no mention of 1: Gary Indiana (it's on the way to Michigan. We stopped there accidently but left with all our possessions intact 2: PORTLAND, OR!!!!! the hub of villainy & protests...Little Beirut according to GWB This poll is siriusly malfunctioning

Did @Randomguy make the jury pool?

After 2 days of beautiful weather & I was inside at a conference it's supposed to rain today. So the order of the day is coffee, dog walk, travel Group Meeting, dog walk, Portland Thorns soccer with a pre function at an eatery, them more dog walk. No bike ride it seems

I love when preparation meets opportunity. Great job

I believe local jurisdictions have "rules" (sometimes called laws) on the number of parking spaces for a given area. Want more spaces buy more land. Costco probably does this because they know that everybody is coming out with 58 cases of soda & 4 24 pack of paper towels.

No GK for us. So we can spoil him & his sister. His sister is a few years older & more low key & thoughtful. Michael is very outgoing & social.....and hyper. So the fun center was perfect for him. Loud flashing lights & loud music & kids everywhere. And yes it was a great day! Mom & Dad were having cocktails with neighbors when we got him back. LOL

The lovely Sara with an H & I took her nephew out for his birthday. It is usually about 3-4 hours including toy shopping, lunch & back home. Did I mention he is turning 6? So we go over & pick him up. We didn't have an entire plan dialed in yet. We found a toy store & go in. We find a BIG box of Brio train stuff & a metal locomotive (not Brio). Fair enough start. We have to run by our house & pick up some stuff...it's about a half hour oot. As we are pulling in the alley there is a big ol pile of toys with a big sign....FREE TOYS. There are 2 kids there loading up stuff. We ask if we can have some...they say you can have 1 box. So we take one and they are struggling with how to get the rest of the pile home. So we load it in the car & haul it over about a block. Tell the dad & he is cool with it. On the way to the French Bakery he sees a sign for a commuter train that terminates in our town. He LOVES trains. They aren't running today but we still had fun on the platform& looking at the cars. We made a promise to go for a train run with him. And off we go to the French Bakery. I get a day old cupcake & he gets something Off to bowling at the event center that has video games, Lazer tag, go carts etc. We bowl for an hour ( I beat him by 1 pin) We decide t play put put golf. We play the front nine. It's a little stacked up but he is running around talking to folks & makes a new friend right ahead of us. (I'll say I had 2 hole in ones) Then we head to the go carts. It's a bit of a wait but we get in & terrorize the crowd. Right next to it is the zip line. So we stand in that line. We are about half way in & Sarah takes him back to the go carts while I wait. It takes a bit and they come back. She & he hop on & do the ride. Then the back nine of the putt putt has a castle. So we have to do that. We are both beat & want to leave. As we are going through the arcade he HAS to play a frogger type game. We play for about 15 minutes & the card times out (we had 3 hours on the card) Then we go to the restaurant...spaghettiti. It must be a dance or something at the local High School as lots of HS age women are dressed in pretty dresses. Front desk says 30 minutes....but you can wait in the bar. We find a seat in the bar and lickety split we get told....no kids in the bar. Shortly after we exit we get a table. Soon enough he is crashing hard after we order. We get a go box as he chokes down a spumoni ice cream & take him home. We tell the 'rents we are exhausted. Dad says....all day every day....LOL

When I was running the business I thought 1% was allotted for bad debt. During 07-12 recession I took it to 2%. On very few occasions a bad debt would come calling back for more work. I would look up the notes on the account & see if there was any mention of write offs. Maybe a handful of times we would recover some small pittance

Ok I'm in. That is just aboot the truth of my ride. I'm in on your Strava group. I'm all weather dependent. If it rains, looks like it's going to rain, rain just ended, too sunny, too cloudy, too windy I'm oot. I got a lot of issues

Weather has been nice (off & on the last couple weeks. So I've got out a few times. Mostly about 18-20 miles.... So this afternoon I change up my planned route. I was thinking about 25 miles. Did some hills at the start instead of at the end. Ended up doing 32 miles....ouchie. The last 20-30 mins i was hurting. Had one cyclist pass me on my return route. I had just passed a subdivision & I think he came from there. No chit chat....just zoomed on by. I did pull up to a light next to a motorcyclist. He looks over at me & says wanna race? I told him lets see how fast you are...with a pump in your wheels! We both had a chuckle. Did go up a longish (1 mile or so) in my big ring. So kinda proud of dat. Lots of road debris as the shoulders weren't swept yet except in a few short places. And apparently i've turned into a Rapha jersey wearing douche. I got one from REI on sale and really like it. i was way overdressed. The last half of the ride I had to unzip my jacket & leave it flapping in the wind. Took off my full finger gloves & skull cap. and unzip my jersey. And i had a bunch of PRs. Because i lost my login to Strava so I'm starting all over again That's all from Hooterville today

There is a clue in here that this is totally bogus. the "warning" letter mentioned radio...... Does anyone under the age of 40 know about & use a radio? Perhaps Linda is in the age cohort that would be familiar with the concept of a radio
