Good morning!!!!

I didn’t bring it up, I just called it what it was.

Not everything (and anything) which touches on the various topics drew mentioned (no matter how remotely) is "critical race theory".

Anyone ever sold the carbon credits on their forest? I'm in the process now...only a one year commitment to refrain from timbering...you must actually submit a bid for how much you want to get paid for it...if accepted you get paid after the year is up for the acres you didn't harvest. I don't have a lot of land, but think I could make enough to make it worthwhile. But I'll feel guilty participating in what's kind of a racket.

Sounds interesting. What are the requirements and who buys the credit?

RNG which Cannon printer did you get. As soon as I run out of ink on my HP I will be looking for a new printer. Does your printer scan to different formats, to computer, to email?

It's an MG4220, Don, purchased a fairly long time ago. It scans, prints, and copies on both black'n'white and color. It came with printer drivers and a program to run the scanner. It writes the scanned images to disc, and you decide what to do with them from there. I have it open Affinity Photo, a Photoshop substitute, and make any image edits. The printer driver works in all my Macintosh programs with no fuss. There's no email integration, but I haven't found that to be much of a problem.

I was able to get it working with MacOS Big Sur by downloading and installing the latest drivers, but haven't switched to that OS for other reasons. Monterrey is too new for me to mess with, so I don't have any compatibility info for it yet.

talking about things that annoy your friends just isn't worth it, not here.
I was just sharing what I was subjected to during "training". I'm not espousing anything and please note I have agreed
with Roy this is no place to discuss. But we are getting might touchy if we can't even "mention" stuff in passing without others reacting strongly.
Cut your friends some slack.

I would love to discuss a few of these topics in another forum, but my experience has just been awful in the politics group here.
I love history and am very curious how it is about to be rewritten. History was always written by the conquerors. Seems to be in for a rewrite.
Microsoft is up to version 11. I wonder what our History is up to? But geez curriculum brings out the loonies among the rightfully concerned
to public school board meetings. One group wants these books banned. Another group wants this ethnic or minority group better represented.
And these folks of course want to ban all masks and vaccine requirements.
I don't think I'd have the patience dealing with this if I was on a public board. You get very few crazies in private school and usually they just take their kids
out and leave. In public school they stick around to haunt you for years.

Let's get back to regular programming and be up with Wingsprd looking out over that valley.

The ink cartridge business is legalized thievery. I got a cheap laser printer for just b/w and an all in one color injet for color,
and that seems to keep my cost per page down.

RNG, I have put the Salton Lake on our RV "to see list" . Probably won't be until next year though. We want to travel up the Pacific Coast highway catching the sights along the way. We are still working on the itinerary as we hear of places. We are waiting for all the pandemic disruptions to calm down at least a little bit.

Keep in mind that the Pacific coast is often fogged in during the summer, so the shoulder season is the best time to visit. The inland areas like the Salton Sea are hotter than the hinges of Hades in the summer, so fall/winter/spring are best for them. You could make a loop up the coast, then down through the Sierra Nevada foothills, California's Gold Country. I've got quite a list of places I've visited over the years I'd be happy to share. Since camping is an outdoor deal, most campgrounds have been unaffected by the Covid scare. Wildfires and their smoke have had a much larger impact, though; another strike against summer.

Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 10:15AM. A mix of clouds and sun early followed by cloudy skies this afternoon. High 57F. Winds light and variable.
Slight chance of rain overnight tonight, then nothing more in the 10-day.

Managed to get all the romex wire stapled in place and all the junction boxes installed up in the attic yesterday. I found I need a duplex outlet to finish the job, so that's on the list for the town run today.

Watched a John Wayne movie last night, didn't get much else done.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

RNG, glad you are getting some rain. And thank you for expanding my vocabulary.
now all of you with wood and coal stoves know all about the hinges of Hades.
I had to look it up...
Hotter than Hell's hinges

Definition, Colloquialism of the American South, Appalachia (I make a strong distinction between the two, but there are of course similarities).

"Hotter than Hell's Hinges" is the ultimate superlative for a subjective judgement of heat. I've mostly heard it in West Virginia, but if you get far enough into the sticks anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line, you'll hear it if it gets hot enough.

My father, the pure product of the great state of WV, explained it to me thus, "You know as well as I do that the hottest part of a coal or wood stove, once you really get it ginning, is the hinges. So the hottest part of hell is the hidges on the gates."

txdon said, "Bird there are 4 antibody test on their web site. The Test to take is number 164090."

Thanks for the information, Don. We do have a nearby Walgreens, and I've had experience in the past with Labcorp; just didn't know they had any connection with Walgreens.

There is a big snow squall snowstorm coming, with up to 6 inches of snow.

Looking, it looks like snow squalls will miss you, yes?

Time for coffee!️

An inch this evening and another inch tonight, that is all they are talking about.
