From 1974 to 1991 my 914 was my daily driver and only car. I did buy my first house in 1982 so for the first 8 years of its life it was an outside only car and did not have a garage. When I talked to my realtor back then, the top of my list for must haves was a garage. Well, I admit the price range was number one. Central air conditioning and heat was number two. I told them if the house has no central AC or garage, scratch it from the list. There was no internet in the early 1980s of course.

For this house I told the agent, 3 car garage is a minimum unless there is room for a shop building on the property. My El Camino had to sit outside for just over a year until we moved in here.

The main thing on the house hunting list was wheel chair access. Amazing how few homes are actually accessible. There was only one other home and it had a ramp. This one does not have a ramp, it is what we call roll-in.

In all honesty this house does not really have a wheel chair bathroom. But it worked well because of grab handles.

Need to go thru and fix the scratched up doors/trim and wall holes MS brother made though.

Don't know how long before I will need the wheel chair access.

Today, Wednesday, June 3rd is National Donut Day!

"mmmmmm, donuts" – Homer Simpson

[GH85Carrera]

In the El Camino club that unfortunately fell apart we had an event at a local fire department. I stopped at Krsipy Kreme and got a dozen donuts. Standing in line to order and pay they will just hand you a fresh from the production line. still warm glazed donut. Those are good!

I bet it has been 15 years since I bought any donuts. And except in the snow or mud I have never done donuts in my cars. Rear tires are expensive.

I will admit that when I was 19 and had traded in my VW bug for the 914 the dealership gave me a brand new VW Rabbit. I did find a parking lot to just pull the emergency brake and then use the front wheel drive to have fun doing a few donughts. Not too many.

Morning all. Work is picking up. Lots to do and its slow going working from home.

On a side note anyone here know what to do with an Ipad that will not play on the home wifi anymore. We have done the forget and reconnect to the wifi, we have turned it off and on, we have reset the network connections and nothing works.

[GH85Carrera]

Have you tried to turn off Wifi, reboot, and turn on wifi and search again. That is weird. Usually the standard turn off and on works.

Maybe run to a local McDonalds and see if you can get on that network.

[Porsche-poor]

I restarted the wifi unit yesterday and was not a happy camper all day with the work computer. The Ipad is the only thing in the house that will not play on the wifi.

[GH85Carrera]

At our old office we on occasion had weird network issues. Several times the only "cure" was turn off every single computer, router, modem, and switch. Any item on the network. Then fire it all up one device at a time, starting of course with the modem, the router, then the switches, and one computer at a time and let them all connect to the wired network.

If really sounds like some sort of IP conflict. That would mean turning off every cell phone and device on the network.

I vote she uses it to keep her car from rolling...…………...

Haven't had to do a total reboot in years. Had to reboot my cable modem with a 20 minute power off because the DNS tables got corrupted. A reset didn't work. Had to let it stay off long enough it forgot the routing tables.

Would try making a different wifi network with a computer or phone tether and see if the iPad can join that one. iPad may be trying to do 2.4 gHz and your network went all 5 gHz.

That isn't the old iPad mini I got rid of a while back is it?

Phew, the yard is edged and mowed. And like a total idiot, I even fertilized the yard. Now I can more more often!

Summer has arrived. It is 91 degrees, and humid so the heat index is 102.

The iPhpne 6 I gave my brother quit working. He says it won't stay charged for longer than a couple of seconds and needs replaced. Can't call or text him, and he doesn't return emails.

When I had it, the charge plug got dirty and needed cleaned every once in a while or it didn't stay plugged in, but looked plugged in. Says he talked to a tech and they said it would be real expensive to fix and he needed to get a new phone.

Has been saying he wants a new iphone for a couple of months. Can't help but wonder if the charge hole just needs cleaned.

Got the price signal from the electric company and electricity is going to 20 cents a kWh from 2pm to 7pm tomorrow. Must be going to get hotter tomorow. Today it is only going to 10 cents per kWh. Weather says 93 today and 96 tomorrow and the next day.

Time to start planning electric stuff like laundry and cooking for mornings or after 7pm.

Looked at putting more insulation in my attic and going to more efficient windows, but the savings would take over 5 years to actually save me anything.

My phone is like that. I take a plastic dental pick and it pulls all the lint out and everything works fine again for several months.

My wife loves her iPad. She has it in her hands if she is not knitting. I have one of her old iPads in the garage as my music player. The garage iPad is so old it does not get updated anymore, but it works great for connection to my WiFi and playing Pandora.

I have one of those old things with buttons and knobs and this needle that shows signal strength for this "tuner" thing. Not sure what that is, it isn't even connected to the car to lower it. All I know is when the one knob is turned to the "on" position and the signal strength needle is in the red, classic rock plays.

Just saw Frank Abagnale "catch me if you can" give his talk on cyber security.

He says to always use credit cards and not debit cards because they are protected if stolen.
I use a debit card. It is on a separate account. I only put money in that account to spend with the debit card.
With a credit card theifs get you credit limit, you don't have to pay it but they still get it.
With my debit card their is not any money or credit for the theifs to get.

The other thing he talks about is 2FA with no passwords. To log into anything you have to scan a QR code with your phone and it logs you in. It doesn't text or phone numbers that you have to repeat like most MFA. It is the opposite. It displays the code that your phone app scans and logs you in. The system is called Trusona. It is supposed to be none replayable. There is some stuff like google storage that requires and authentication app, but it still sends a code you type in and it only authenticates once instead of have to re-autheniticat each time you log in. Says he doesn't like biometric stuff because your fingerprint of facial recognition still makes a file with numbers that can be replayed. Oh yeah, he does not write checks, too easy to get your info from.

I use a MAC whitelist on my wifi, and a recent iOS update came with wifi MAC address randomization as default. This buggered a few of my devices connecting to my wifi until I set them back to the factory MAC address.
