Alien, any idea how they got control? What remote software they were using? Probably not because of the video.
I have no idea Buckeye/mostly gas. I didn't give any permissions but they got in. I doubt it had anything to do with the video. Just watching a wolf chasing an Elk. It just suddenly locked up. Anyway Win11 supposedly has stronger security.

45° right now...high in the mid-50's today...rain's pretty much done...but the weekend forecast looks pretty wet.
10 Day forecast is calling for snow showers late next week...guess that's about due

Just heated up Wifey's heating pad and made her a cuppa coffee (she likes Keurig, I make "real" coffee in a drip type coffee pot)

Since the rain is done, I'll want to get outside to put a bird feeder up and prep it. I expect the bears will be pretty much in hibernation by this time. Once I do my part, it's be up to tree-huggin' Stepdaughter to keep it filled....but I'm sure I'll be doing that most of the time.

Cardiologist (it was actually a PA (Physician's Assistant) visit went OK. Basically, just a review of the meds I'm taking a quick check of my heartbeat. We could have done this on the phone and saved some time

On the way home from that hospital, I stopped at the local Central Supply (ACE) store and picked up 2 cans of their Rust-Oleum equivalent. Should be dry enough for me to finish touching up the snow blower. Also, may as well rig the extension cord to the Deere's block heater. Won't plug it into an outlet, but rather do it before the weather gets to the point I'll need it

Good morning! 43 now, 58 later. Dry today.

Finally did it. March 31, 2022 is my final work day! I agreed to go to March to help do a service school and to train a new hire. Hopefully they find someone better than the last one.

Everyone stay safe out there!

Poured first cup of coffee. 41° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 55° with cloudy skies. Sassy is happy with her grooming yesterday. Shopping is almost does. Need a trip to Sams Club for more grocery and gas. Now $3.10 per gallon. Got all the stuff that will freeze put away in cellar. After Sam's club need to wash Mule. Then winterize power washer. Put hoses away for the winter.
How far can a Sandhill Crane get its beak into ground. This one was poking in a Mole run.

Mostly, it was a Texas Get Together. One of the attendees did it for a living. Brought his equipment as part of the Get together. Cannot find who the member was who brought the boat.

Alien, good you got computer back up running. Maybe it was MS wanting you to switch to Window 11. :unsure:

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Just went outside and the wind is still whipping the wind chimes. Should grow from 53 up to 70 and sunny, but stay windy.

Alien, that's a concerning story about your hackers. Glad you got it corrected.

Mostly, I agree with your approach to the U.S. Flag.

Bird, congrats on the rain...it feels so good, right? You, too RNG? or are you getting too much?

Was a busy coffee day yesterday...drank some, then roasted some, then updated the software and firmware, then did a take down of part and performed a thorough cleaning...now to see if it still works. 😁 :eek:

Good morning, the low is 42 and the high will be up to 54°F Wind NNE 8 mph. Sunny!

Today will be a good day to do the trailer wiring.

We do container gardening and today will also would be a good day to put them to bed for the winter. They overwinter in the old chicken house. There is also a greenhouse roof to dismantle.
There are lots of piddly little jobs to do, I certainly wont get bored.

The comparison between the old (3 yrs) Regency wood stove that is supposed to heat 2400 sq. feet and the new Drolet wood furnace is out of this world.
The Regency would take all day to get the basement up to 72°F and the Drolet wood furnace takes about an hour. We don't jam the firebox full on the Drolet, yet. When the overnight temps get down to below zero, then we will be filling the box up for overnighters.

Yesterday evening I caught SiriusXM satellite radio fraudulently taking money off me for monthly payments when my 2 year plan doesn't expire until July of 2022. They will get an earful today. I think I will go straight to the top on this. I've already emailed them and they have 'till 10 A.M. (but they don't know that) and then I will be getting on the phone. I've been a SiriusXM customer since 2007 and this is the first time I have caught them double billing. So far they have stung me out of $86.60.


Have a safe day all

52 outside this AM. Heading to lower 70's. Nice and windy, is drying things up fast.

More digging today on septic/drain field. Hooked up to houses yesterday. Bypassed lots of old pipes. Got to examine old tank and watched the fill in. Tank was a lot smaller than anyone expected. Stuck another cleanout on a line I can tie into in the future. Need to hookup one more building and the cleanout will provide a nice reference on where to dig. LOL. Inspection is set for tomorrow and then we get to do some final grading work and get these guys out of here. They have done a nice job so far.

Hope all have a great hump day. Be safe. Get well soon to those ailing.

good morning all
warmer 56 out now going up to 68, should be a nice sunny day

worn out from entertaining yesterday, need lots of coffee this morning.
Meat loaf for dinner turned out well, now I have to chop fresh fruit for breakfast.
This is actually a fair amount of work for one person...maybe next time I'll put them up in a B&B.
Besides my friend snores so loud it comes through the bedroom wall...wonder how his wife deals with that.

thanks for all ideas on flagpole lights. My challenge is this is a small flagpole and a small flag, maybe four feet long for pole. Ads say 15 foot poles or maybe it's strong enough
for a pole that length. Going to study your ideas though RNG I like your little hat idea. I think a spot beam instead of a flood light is the answer, not sure how to accomplish that with current
lamp fixture. A light on the end of the pole would actually be perfect. Maybe they have a small model.

I got into quite a discussion with my younger sister over flags. She thinks flying a big US flag is making a right wing political statement. ?? Sigh. No.
(remember she is a California girl...)
I have always revered the flag, always thought of my father and uncle in South Pacific in WWII and it gets personal because I want to honor them.
The flag is a symbol of our freedom and democracy, politicians come and go. Need to remind my sister we would not have been born if our Father
did not come back from doing his duty.

Rich, congrats on the news. Whole new future ahead of you.
