Morning all. this is getting really annoying. I'm not getting any emails from Pelican telling me of updates and to the best of my knowledge I changed nothing.

[jmaxwell]

[RKDinOKC]

You can get notices of updates on Pelican?

It is pretty tasty, and heats up in the microwave well.

I first read that as rice with special mushrooms.

Yea, it is some special type of rice, that the local grocery stores don't carry, but Amazon does. Just plan old mushrooms right from the grocery store, sliced and cooked in olive oil first and then added to the pressure cooker.

My business partner lives in a gated community. To get in I have to punch in the special code. At some point the salesman convinced the builder that the all stainless steel keypad and the box it is attached to the brick column was the way to go. I am sure it will last longer than some plastic or other material outside in the weather.

That stainless steel keypad gets some kind HOT in the sun on a 100+ degree day. Punching in a 5 digit code on a keypad at arms length with my left hand is tough to not hit the wrong number, unless I rest my other fingers on the box to steady. Of course a wrong number means wait for 10 seconds before reentering the right code. Even if I get the 5 digits right, and don't rest my hand the tip of my finger gets HOT. Touching the stainless steel face of the box will roast my fingers. I almost need a glove to get in over there. It is a really tough first world problem.

headed to CA tomorrow and yes I'm packing a box of tissues for the wife on the return trip home.

[GH85Carrera]

Remember to have a trash can for the tissues.

Tears of joy or sadness?

I suspect both or all types of tears.

Joy that their baby is growing up,

Sad that their baby is growing up,

Sadness at the bank account balance

Joy that she is at the start of a new life of almost adulthood and learning.

But since I have no kids, I am a world expert on kids.

That’s because you still are one...at heart.

Positively. Just a teenager trapped in a old geezer body. The good news is I don't have a curfew, I own two cars, and I can buy beer. Of course I prefer to be in bed by 10:30 PM, and I only drink a couple of beers per day, and many days I don't leave the house at all. So I am living live on the wild side!

Way back when I was about 14 for real, I figured out the 18 to 24 year old women were really hot, and my opinion has not changed one bit. Back then they ignored me, and now they don't even see me. I told my wife, face to face, before we got married, that all my life I have looked at pretty women. It is a pure instinctual reaction in my brain. I just look, I will not even run to the end of my chain and bark, just look. If I stop looking at pretty women, call the ambulance.

What if your vision goes bad, Glen? Should we have you put down?

[GH85Carrera]

That might be necessary!

I am very lucky with my vision. With glasses I have 20/20 or better. Even without I can see real well. As soon as I set at my computer, I take my glasses off. With the 27 inch monitor, and it placed about 3 feet away I see it just fine. My glasses are needed to read small text on analog paper, or to use my cell phone and read the text on it clearly.

[flipper35]

I have to use cheaters for fine print and some menus when I am wearing contacts. I hate glasses.

[RKDinOKC]

Found I can get groceries delivered at $5.00 a trip. That is about all i was leaving the house for. That and putting gas in the cayenne to go get groceries.

[flipper35]

You are going to have to get some Sta-bil for your pepperwagon now.

[flipper35]

Ugh. Spiceworld is in September this year. Austin TX in September sounds hot.

[RKDinOKC]

Yep, almost going full hermit.

[flipper35]

Save up and trade it for a Rivian next year?
