Afternoon Rick. We caught up on 2 months of yard work (lawn service just cuts the grass) and we set up sawhorses in the garage and are painting the interior doors. 76 degrees and a nice easy breeze. Damn awesome day here.

Stay there JIm, don't come back, it's all fallen apart here and I wouldn't be surprised to it effect your area here.

I don't need much encouragement to stay!

Good Ebenin...

I know that feeling

What's with the Baltimore street party?

Them guys know how to throw a wake.

So...Is the rain barrel full?

I don't know. It is still raining and I would have to stand in the rain to see into the barrel.

Morning Y'all.
I think I coulda used a few more hours of sleep

Me too.
Morn'n.

What is this thing, sleep?

Sleep is what I get in between the multiple bathroom trips, and coughing fits here lately. Think i'll take a nap today.

The rain barrel is full capacity. We had 2.5 inches of rain total.

Wait a minute, I thought you had well water for your yard and plants?

We do.

But Mrs Carrera decided we needed a rain barrel. Any more questions?

Actually it will be handy for the potted plants on the back porch. Right now she hauls around a pitcher and fills it with city water from the faucet. It takes several trips in and out to refill or bending over at the outdoor faucet. Now just use a hose and let the water flow.

ok today I'm up. Yesterday was a migraine so keep it down out there.....

works for me. now if Rick would come silence the idiots here at the office....

Disable the AD account until they behave.

We have a person at work that has no ability to understand how things work or what is going on. To make a parable, they tell me their car rides rough every time they go down 3rd avenue. I say yes it does because they have the street torn up to repave it. They then proceed to ask me to look at their suspension because the car rides rough on 3rd avenue. I ask if it rides rough any other time and the answer is no so I tell them the reason it rides rough is because they are driving on a rough street. They say ok and can I look at their car since it rides rough every time they go down 3rd avenue and when can I have it fixed. Apply that to an IT environment. I think they intentionally hire people with a lower IQ so they can pay them less.

Oh it is sunny and high 60s low 70s this week and I am stuck inside at work and stuck inside doing a side job for a friend at night. What should have been a couple evenings doing a room with laminate has turned into commercial linoleum planks in one room and carpet tile over a stepped auditorium style room with risers and nosings in another room. Something needs punched today.

Oh, we have had our car for almost a year and I have hit many birds with it for some reason. Today I hit a duck. Loud son of a gun. Came right down across my bow on the four lane. I got down to about 30 before impact. Glad the rest missed me out of the flock or gaggle or whatever duck groups are.

I hit a sea gull once. busted the head lamp.
