Good morning!!!!

Speaking of Radio Shack.... remember the 'battery of the month club"? There was a punch card and you could get one free battery: your choice of D, C, A, 9v. I remember going every month for that free battery. Oh, and the free D cell flashlight around the holidays....

Hope everyone has a great day!

Remember that well also.

I saw that story, too, Bird. Never had a TRS-80, but a friend had a Vic-20 with a tape drive. I remember thinking that was the coolest thing ever. We used it to make our fake IDs (I can tell you that since you're retired).

Me either, but I did have a TI100. Actually, still do. In a box on a high shelf in my shop.

Just saw that western CONUS and Canada aren't the only ones dealing with wildfires here. Saw a story about a large fire on Hawaii's big island. I presume since David is always posting about all the rain he gets every day that he is not affected.

Yup, fire is on other side of Mauna Kea from us, so we are safe. Last night they were reporting 40k acres and 2 home destroyed, no loss of life. Fire is on dryside of Waimea. It crossed the road we usually drive on a Costco run. The evacs were cancelled and is thought to be under control. No word on cause, but in past years it was often a cigarette butt tossed out car window.

Good to hear of your favorable circumstances. Keep an eye on it, though. The fire fighting agencies here are famous for crowing about the level of containment, only to have it literally blown away by just a moderate wind. That's already happened on the Dixie Fire here, in several places along the line just last night.

Morning all, back from trip to Key West.
Cloudy here, but got some trimming and other work done outside yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday was my birthday- went to a nice Sushi place in Doylestown.

Still catching up on posts, but need to go back to day job.

Stay safe and be well.
