LS, glad you liked the pics.
Happy Retirement.

For those that retired before Medicare, what did you do for health insurance?

RS-I got bit by a large dog when I was a kid, it can be quite traumatic.

I've never been seriously bit by a dog as far as I can recall, just the odd nip ... but I would imagine so.

This isn't the first time it has happened to her but it's by far the worst.

Hope all this works out ok and she heals up physically and mentally.

Thanks.

Clean up and oil work boots, install new laces and insoles

Man there is a job I need to get to. What are you using for oil?

That can of oil is probably nearly as old as I am ... but they still make it ... ;)

Day before yesterday scammers managed to take over my computer while I was watching a video on Facebook. I noticed the mouse cursor doing things. Then a window popped up telling me to ring a number. Lots of BS followed and I told them where to go. They got nasty and then the mouse cursor started selecting everything on my screen and deleting it. They wiped my Laptop before I could turn it off. Couldn't disconnect the internet as my mouse wouldn't work.
Anyway long story short they deleted my external drive and backups as well. My other Laptop couldn't read my external drive so I took it to my Mac and ran First Aid and managed to get it going to the point it worked enough to get my files back.
Then I did a new install of Windows 11 and it was up and running again. Win 11 then repaired my external drive properly. (good job) and I was able to restore everything back as it was. So after about 6 and a half hours everything was back to normal. Very scary as my Laptop was only a few months old and cost me $1500.

One again the NWS weather guessers are forecasting a 100% chance of rain. It had been for this evening and tonight, but they keep moving it forward so the current estimate is to start at 4 a.m. in the morning which will be great if it happens because I usually get up about 4 a.m.

I had two technicians from Spectrum here again at 8 a.m. this morning. My Internet service has been coming and going at different times nearly every day. And when I lose the Internet, the house phone also doesn't work, and while the TV usually keeps working, the guide doesn't and interruptions with the screen showing "Firmware Update In Progress don't turn off your TV" happens a couple of times a day.

A month ago, I had a Spectrum technician out here, he checked signals in the house, outside, and at the top of the power pole and found a weak signal everywhere. It seems the line is down from the poles just on the top of the fences north of our place. So the technician, who arrives in a van, of course, said he made a report for a line worker to come the next day to put the line back up. So the next day, an older gentleman came in the big truck. He also went up the pole for awhile, then said he'd have to report it to his boss who would send it on to another division for them to send a 2 man crew to fix it. He did say it might take awhile since his boss would have to send the report to his boss, then that boss would have to send the report to another division in the company, etc., etc.

Yesterday morning service went down and was still down yesterday everning, so I called again, and this morning two young men checked the lines outside, in the attic, here at my desk, AND at the pole. At least service was finally restored although they admitted they have no idea why or what did it. But they said it usually takes 40 to 60 days to get a line crew out and it's now been 30 days so they assured me it should be fixed in 2 to 4 weeks.

Alien, any idea how they got control? What remote software they were using? Probably not because of the video.
