Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

RS, nice fish.

Thanks Drew ... not the greatest picture though (front glass was dirty)

(Had to use the pocket flashlight to illuminate him from the side, otherwise the coloration is not all that apparent.)

but can it do this?

LOL ... no.

I do remember when those originally came out ... pretty funny.

by the time you are done you are ready to throw the whole thing in the water
just to shut it up ... what I think is delightful is Al Green got more royalties from the fish singing Take Me To The Water than he did from anyone else singing his song.

And of course who could forget the Sopranos episode where this fish was the star. I found the episode....ah, nope, two ladies dancing
with not much on at the Bada Bing episode, surely not for prime time

Not me ... don't think I ever saw it.

Hope you can get the tendon issues sorted out in short order ...

Happy birthday check!

40° and snowing.

Worked 1/2 day from home.. my internet has been crawling. It finally dropped my connection.
Leaving soon for 1st COVID vaccine. Son got his, no complaints yet from him.

Spring has my sinuses working overtime.

.31” rain overnight, was sleeting earlier. April fools on the snow here, but it did snow close by at higher elevations

about to go out and cover garden but the sun is out and want them to get as much as they can before temps drop.
So...meanwhile I'm sitting here watching youtube training videos on the Iphone 12 I got this morning at verizon. My old SE was worthless.
They don't even swap numbers for you anymore. Unless you back up to the Apple Cloud, which I never have, they no longer have the machinery/software to perform
that service. This was some large franchise with thousands of offices and they stopped providing the service. I got a referral to a guy downtown a few minutes away for 50 bucks.
What was free now costs 50 bucks. Amazing. This franchise would do it for 30 if I were backed up to the Cloud. what a racket.

so I just went through my old phone and wrote down the numbers myself, took me all of ten minutes and I'll punch them back in the new phone. I am not paying anyone one nickel for that...

So I took my new phone home and am determined to understand how it works, and boy it's a whole new world out there...in complexity. I'm a very late adopter here. I did find the Do Not Disturb While Driving mode, boy will I turn that on first thing. And by squeezing the power button and volume button it brings up the HELP screen to call 911 I assume. Huge amount of functions, most of which I won't use.
And not all that much larger than my old phone, it squeezed nicely in my shirt pocket but clearly stuck out further. Bought a blue protective cover for it and got gouged 30 bucks for a no longer provided charger and oh by the way your old cable won't work either. Another 30 bucks. What a racket. Those are 10 dollar cables at most...
But now that I know what ends are on it I can find much less expensive ones on Amazon.

I also found out where the flashlight function is. Never ever found that on my old phone... let's see, slash down from right to left on 45 degree angle to
open up Settings. I can do this. I think.

And after thirty years or more with Verizon they still charge me 40 bucks to turn on a new phone.

I'm going out to see if any taters are poking up their heads. If so I'll put some potting soil on top.
Cold weather coming. Will see if these anti freeze covers work.

tdon said, "Good morning! This was not suppose to happen they, said 39˚F, it is now 33.3˚F and still falling, potatoes are uncovered."

Don, NWS today shows at 3:52 a.m. it was 35, then dropped to 32 in an hour, and then back up to 36 in another hour in Denton. Seems a bit odd. I went out back to the shop about 5 a.m. and with no breeze, it didn't really feel all that cold.

With the sunshine, it's already up to 64 going for 67. I went to Walmart this morning about 8:30 a.m. and sure did not need a jacket of any kind.

Happy Birthday Check

[buckeyefarmer]

It’s just a little pin prick
But you might feel a little sick.

Drew you do know you can hook your phone up to Audi hands free end calls via steering wheel or use voice recognition to tell car who to call or use google maps to give directions

 

[sodamo]

65°F and 1.37 inches rain.

Would like to finish mowing if not too soggy.

This afternoon is Dinner and cards (Hand & Foot). 1st time in a year. Other couple had their Moderna shots same day we did. 2 nd shot 3 weeks ago tomorrow.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

yes thank you. I choose not to use my phone in the car, too distracting though I know hands free is the least problematic approach. Now pairing up the phone and using google maps is an interesting idea though the car has built in nav. Audi wanted 699 bucks annually, I passed. I already have Sirius XM in the car and have lots of music recorded on memory sticks, so not sure I need the music functions. If I were still working I'd be hooked up for sure, but now I'm trying to avoid most calls actually since most are robocalls anyway.

surgeon for my shoulder just called, I had spoken with his asst. this morning. Looks like I'll be seeing him on the 27 and in the interim getting a root canal.
Just having lots of fun.

got the freeze cloth down on little garden. Those squash plants were looking distressed already, probably the ground is still too cold, even if it warms up during the day in those raised gardens.
I just tried to post a 8.55mg file and it rejected it as being too large. ??

So funny... Welcome to the world of new phones. I have a brand new Huwawei in my drawer, been there for 18 months now. I used it to take some photos once but the camera didn't perform like they promised so it stays in the drawer. I still like my old iphone SE and my wife has a iPhone 6 and until they no longer work we will keep using them. I hate setting up new phones.
