The company I work for gives you a free dinner if you have a 100% attendance record for the year. Most employees have more than enough vacation days to burn a few for sick days to keep their attendance record clean.

Batter and deep-fry everything.

Ooh ooh, deep fried battered bacon....and drown it in tomato sauce....mmmnmmmm

Deep frying is just way more mess than I want to deal with. I have a pretty good sized deep fryer. We used to deep fry fish all the time. It was in vegetable oil (Crisco) not lard. Also used to start by frying some potato slices because it would clean the taste of the oil that was used many many times.

Guess I could do like Mom used to...Filter the grease from frying bacon and use that for lard. Adds a bacony flavor that store bought processed lard doesn't though.

Never heard of or seen a battered and deep fried Omelette? Must not live south enough or attend enough state fairs.

For some reason unbeknownst to me, I can't pass up a battered sav on a stick. We call them Dagwood Dogs, would that be what you'd call a Corn Dog?

Bastard things give me rotten indigestion but I just gotta have one whenever I go to the town show (what you'd call a fair).

Good rainy and cold Monday morning everyone.

My wife has her two best friends coming back down for the week. We pay a lady to come clean twice a week and that is good enough except for women friends from what I figured out. Mrs Carrera has spent most of the week dusting very object and moving thing away dusting that spot, the object and then putting it back. Every object in the house, even stuff in cabinets and in drawers, all the stuff in the pantry, and every book in the book case. She would only do that because other women are going to be here for a week.

I has to be yet another women thing I just don't understand.

That sounds like me cleaning my house before I left on vacation. Except I have no maids coming to help clean house. When I had a maid she cleaned every other week.

Sure was nice to come home to a clean house!

In my previous job I would have stayed home, at this job, I am by myself 95% of the day, and don't do the close quarter office, or meetings.....lucky in that respect.

I can tell you she is expensive. I charge $1,000 per hour and she is even more.

I never officially quit as a wedding photographer. I just raised my rate to $1,000 for the consultation and $5,000 per hour for the shoot. So far no one want to pay that. I charge double that for lawn sprinkler work, and I work slow.

Sid, I think he would be glad to come fix the sprinklers if you are willing to pay his rate.

Well we bought the Corsair with SAFE just in time to not have any weekends free for a bit. Deer season starts Saturday and goes 9 days. We have to get up before even Rick's time. Of course if we fill our tags we will still be out there. There is always 'yotes or rabbits or something.

My daughter and I have both flown a bit on friends aircraft so we should be pretty good. My biggest concern is the wide turn radius in beginner and intermediate mode.

OK, we have one user whose iPhone will not sync with exchange today. Rebooted the phone and r&r the account but still no sync. Just shows checking mail...

No errors setting up the account?
Does it sync if you turn off wi-fi? Make sure cellular data is on for mail. If it syncs it's a local dns/firewall issue.

Is it 365 or exchange on-line. Is active sync turned on for that account?

Microsoft 365 moves accounts around between servers all the time. Could just be on a poorly responding server. Have had that happen with a couple of users. One their new emails only made it to their desktop once a day at 3pm. 3rd day his account was moved and it stopped doing it.

All my users have mail set to Push so iPhone doesn't actually check for mail. The only thing new mail shows up faster on is if I have the OWA portal open in my web browser.

Moving to Exchange Online/365 really increased my workload and bolstered my job security. The down side is that we have had more malware/virus outbreaks, and down time in 3 months than we have had for 10 years of our on-site Exchange server.

We have the server in house. It was working up until Friday sometime for her and it does not work wi-fi or cellular. We have a number of people with similar phones that are having no issues, just this one. She would normally get the email on her phone before Outlook would display it since we push it all out also. Might just remove her phone and do it over. doesn't take that long I guess.
