Buppies, did you lose your bears? I haven't seen any here since the end of May, but looks like they are back. A smaller one was following this one...

While looking for the thread that had the fish shocking post in it. I ran across this one. Near the end was post from Jinman about a visit to his and Kathy's place. I still get giggles from it.
Only in Texas, Don and Harv doing.

Rich, good news. Some days it will seem like March 31, 2022 will never get here. Then it will be "now what do I do". Company that I worked for was still calling me 5 years later. They paid me well for that time. Helped me make the adjustment to my new life.

this is fun to read through
Texas guys had quite an organization here going way back
and what impressed me was the wives joining in.
To quote Harv:
One of the best, very very best, things about this group is the hardcore are couples. You can't be around the Birds, or Jim and Kathy, or Don and Karen, or James and Barb, or Mike and Bernice, etc and so on and not get the feeling that marriage is a good thing. Every meeting we've had the wives have enjoyed it at least as much as us guys have.

Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 4:30AM. Morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine. High 69F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Bruce, my first year here, it started raining at the end of November and rained every day until January. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but after so many years of drought, I wouldn't mind at all if the weather did something similar this year. But in all honesty, I'd prefer a mix of sun and showers, which is pretty much what the 10-day is predicting.
That's pretty scary, Doug. Do you have Zoom or some other kind of XWindow or remote monitoring software installed on your system? That could have been hacked. Glad you got everything recovered and back up and running again.
Congratualations on setting the date, Rich. Won't be long now before you start wondering how you ever had time to work a full time job.
Sounds like good progress at last, Mike. Hope you and the crew don't find any more surprises.
They say as goes California so goes the nation, Drew. I sure hope not.
Glad you got some rain, Bird. Is it time to start shopping for a new internet/TV provider?
Noticed a young forked horn buck hanging out with a half dozen does when I went out to retrieve the eight foot step ladder yesterday. Maybe it's time they're starting another crop of the miserable, flea and tick ridden varmints?
It's nice when being a pack rat pays off. Got a call from a neighbor asking if he could borrow a power cord so he could charge his laser level. I have a box full of 'em, salvaged from oh so many discarded electronic components, so I just gave him one. That led to a nice catch up session when he came over to get it. It's only been raining for a week, and we're both feeling a little cooped up.
I'd already got the extension ladder put up on one end of the house to mount another one of those LED lights, and our little yak session made time for a brief rain shower to come in while I was up there drilling holes. Wind came up and the temperature dropped at the same time. I don't like being up on ladders on a nice day, so finished putting that one up and called it quits on that job for the day. Came inside, fired up the wood stove to chase away the chill, and had some lunch. Spent the rest of the day working on computer upgrades, getting pretty close to something that looks like it'll work. More ladder work today, with some quality time running wire in the attic.
Hump Day already...

Good Morning.
It’s 55 and get to 65 today.
The rain is finished, but the wind is picking up.
As I suspected, the Davis rain gauge agreed with the good old funnel gauge. We got a total rain of 2.7 inches for the whole event.
Spent yesterday cleaning, organizing and working on the computer. Had to get a PowerPoint training presentation ready for today, and make sure the projector and large screen TV worked with the computer which doesn’t have an HDMI output. Got it all set, and now I have another day, as the person coming for training postponed till tomorrow due to today’s forecast high winds.
I’m sure that I won’t have any difficulty finding things to do for today, it will be interesting to see if the wind brings down any trees or limbs.

Morning all, wet, windy, more trees falling.
Alien - sorry to hear about your woes-amazing what can happen with one click on a bad link. My father clicked on the link by mistake and similar stuff happened, he had to change credit cards and his checking account.
Bird- it took over three weeks for the Comcast crew to come replace my underground line. Hopefully your above ground one will be faster.
Rich-date set and all good to go!
wngsprd- bears prepping to hibernate- we have them cross the river to here every now and then, they then get relocated back across the river. Mama's with baby's can be tough to deal with, so hopefully just passing through.
PopG- the new Macs coming out this week or so actually have HDMI ports! And a high price tag to match....
Stay safe and be well,
If a tree falls in the forest, we heard it:
Only a few dozen more large Ash to come down, and many, many smaller ones on their way.

A very damp and chili 55 headed to 66, windy but easing a bit.
We had .66” of rain for the past event, not near as much as predicted or needed. Looks like late week will rectify this.
Wore jeans to the meeting last night, first time since March.
Cleaning lady asked me what to use on the new floors, I told her a damp mop. I had some old fashioned laminate ruined a few years ago from a cleaning lady using wax on it. This has grain and imperfections like genuine wood so it wouldn’t do well with coatings anyway.
I’m sitting in the lab waiting for a blood draw I’m ready for some breakfast.
Not sure what I’m doing later today, but the weather may dictate it be indoors.
I wish a rapid recovery for all the sick and injured.
