The heart monitor the Dr. wants me to wear for 2 weeks arrived today at 13:30 hrs. Activated it at 13:45 hrs. Called the supplier up , let them know I got it and it is working. I also told them I would NOT be wearing it at night. I will take the battery out when i take it off and put in a fresh battery in the morning after I get up. That is as good as it is gonna get.

I'm about halfway through my 2 week period with this newer monitor, it went on in the office and stays on for the two weeks should be coming off the 11th but may get removed the 10th when I go in for an echo cardiogram (again). Have to wonder what's going on after wearing a monitor for a month that required a new patch weekly to this thing that just stays on for 2 weeks, wondering what they are expecting to see with this one compared to the old one.

65 outside, heading to mid 80's. Hit and miss showers next few days.

Day jobs, lawyers, grass cutting, more grass cutting and pick up sticks on the agenda. Need to check pool out too. No longer green, just cloudy. A shock treatment or two and it should be fine. While I was working on water I cleaned up the koi-less pond a little. Have not seen the little turtles for about a week now.

Hope all have a great day, be safe.

good morning, 66 going to 85 warmer today

Fire alarms went off yesterday evening with the tree coupled together saying carbon monoxide alarm. Would not reset. Had fire department check with portable one and found nothing. Removed batteries and tested some more. Could be dirt on the sensor?

Today the pond inspection team will be here to look at neighbors pond. Not sure how that will go over. Will stay out of the way as much as possible.

One the Milwaukee 12 volt batteries failed. Not that old. Is that normal to fail after a year or two?

Good morning! A warm 80˚F before sunrise heading to the mid 90s with clouds and S winds.

All yards need mowing and then I need to put some garage stuff in the attic and while there change out the AC filters. Busy hot day. May have to take several dips in the pool while mowing.

It does happen. I have had 2 EGO batteries fail while under their 3 year warranty. Ego replaced them.

any recommendations on free/cheap anti virus? Sure need something, buggy world out there

Boy, you guys are gonna get sick of me chiming in. Normally I'm happy to get my fix of outside projects from you all from the confines of my windowless office space.

If you'd like to take the cheap route, I've heard very good things about Windows Defender and Virus Total to scan downloads. Both are free installs.

I prefer Malwarebytes, at 45 dollars a year. It's not a bank-breaking price and offers good service that won't eat up resources.

The answer to your bloatware question is a lot. Expect to spend at least a day stripping unneeded programs out.

Best of luck and happy computing! Back to the windowless cave go I.

Something fell into pond with a huge splash last night have to investigate this morning

Well, I hope it was something interesting!!

90F today, headed to 100F for about the rest of the week.

I'm having problems with our pasture irrigation I cannot figure out. Something is weird and different this year. I turned on a 1" sprinkler near the pond yesterday, and it ran about 20 minutes before losing pressure. Gauge said only 10psi. But a short distance away, pressure is 34psi. I had a terrible time getting air purged from the system this year-- some hose bibs would wooosh out compressed air when I opened them, others would draw in a vacuum when I opened them. Need to consult a witch doctor and throw salt over my shoulder, I think!

This guy showed up on a trail cam yesterday ... everyone have a great day !!!
