Good morning!!!!

[Popgadget]

have a question on Microsoft.
they want me to renew Microsoft 365
other than file storage, what does that really give me?
I see you can get a lifetime version of Office, which is all I use.

Why a Lifetime License to Microsoft Office Beats a Subscription to Microsoft 365

Why rent when you can own? And it's a steal at just $33 for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access.

I ditched 365 for office 2019 a long time ago. I hated the online version, it lacks features that are in 2019.

Good Morning
43°and forecast to go up about 10° under a partly cloudy sky.

Yesterday was all day in the shop continuing to clean up the mess I made by working on the lathe. I had just piled stuff up to make room to move it out, now I sorted through all those piles and put things in their proper place, which for many things was the trash.

Put 8’ of LED work lighting over the electronics/3D printing bench. Ran the printer all day. Pulled out the PA equipment that we will need for today’s gig, moved some stuff to the end of the lane where it seems to go away as if by magic.

Today will likely start with pancakes, then around 10 the boys will show up to load the gear into the KubVan to take it to the gig. Then it gets unloaded and set up, we play for about 4 hours, then it gets loaded up, back to the shop and unloaded, and the gear carried upstairs and put away.
I always say that I’ll play music for free, but you have to pay me handsomely to move stuff and set it up.

Should be an early finish though, I hope to be in the recliner by dark.

Good Morning!

50°F and Clear here this morning! Predicted to be in the low 80's today. That is great! Winds out of the West at 5 mph should make it pleasant outside. No precipitation predicted and 82% Humidity.

King Edward Cigar time is 6:67am CST.

Quick trip to Houston yesterday to attend the Ceremonial Oath of Office and Investiture of a good friend to an office won in the November election. Had an early dinner with a friend who is a relative of William Marsh Rice, the founder of Rice University. Those two things pretty much took up the entire day and didn't get back until almost 9pm. But good BBQ and interesting company.

Going to Houston the traffic east bound on I10 was aggravating but moving at a pretty constant spped of about 60mph for about 20 miles or longer. BUT, the westbound traffic just east of Columbus was at a dead stop for what looked to be ~5 miles.I really felt sorrry for those drivers going west.

Prayers for everyone for good health and a great weekend! Prayers for our Nation!

Good morning! 43˚F heading to 82˚ with plenty of sun and wind from the W then N then E.

I did a test of the sprinkler system zone 3 after the landscape guy reported a capped sprinkler head had broken off while he was doing repairs and yes with the zone turned on it was like an open hose. I was able to dig up and seal off the sprinkler pipe with a no glue slide on coupling from HD. I'll re-verify it's no leak status today before I cover it back up. Always nice to do a repair for under $2.

GM,

Looks nice outside. Running behind. Should touch 60 today.

Late night with a real job, after hours and what not. Rough. Over 50 people trying to figure out one problem that was actually broken down into three separate issues. Man can we make things - complex.

Time to get into the woods and clear the mind.

Hope all have a great day.

Happy birthday Sassy!!!! Enjoy the extra treats.

Morning all, 51 going to 58 and sunny.
Did get to see 5 of the 7 planets lined up last night even with some clouds.

Wagtail good news on the tooth,

Drew we have Office 2021 lifetime, I use 365 at work, they both do the job. I think the 2021 has less bugs, the 365 has some updated features I use at work, but not really useful at home.
Unless you really use Teams integration, powerBI etc. the lifetime works.

Sorry to hear about your BIL Gale, condolences and prayers.

Happy birthday to Sassy.

My brother is fed up with Dad's GF and is coming home. He did get a lot covered.
I need to get her to pick a funeral home, check if home/state/federal and HOA have been paid.
Should be hugely frustrating with her involved.
And of course see my dad, he is only awake for minutes at a time now according to my brother.

Be well.


The office view. Would really hate to have to commute back into NYC at 5 hours round trip. Will know in April.

 

[daugen]

my Father did that commute for 22 years Ken.
wears you down and expensive now
hopefully you can get at least a hybrid arrangement

finished washing the rv, good workout, drained the hoses and put everything away, going to 19 tonight.
off in a little while to fill up volvo with gas and take it to sister in Princeton.

There is a faster shortcut through the backwoods of Hopewell
that I'm sure she will use, not an area I know well, but I have to slug through the traffic on Princeton Pike.
Which goes right into downtown Princeton near the University. I have her address in the nav system set to home now, so on way back from
her place, when she takes me home and heads off with her new car, we'll let the nav system take us through the back woods.
Pretty sure Princeton Pike will be jam packed on a sunny day. Have driven in downtown Princeton before, have to be careful of jaywalking college
kids and shoppers.

my sister and husband lived in Princeton on Carnegie Lake for many years and have a ton of friends within literally blocks of where there are getting a second home.
I'm guessing downtown San Francisco did not have as much allure as she thought for her getaway from home rental.
I'm looking forward to having her for dinner.
guess I need to research vegan restaurants locally. She will eat fish but is definitely health oriented like Don.

nice fix Don.
