Oh great. One of my bosses, the IT Director guy that doesn't know what he is doing has been messing around in exchange and messing up accounts. Gives me something to do to fix the problems he is causing, but Dam. For example we have a bunch of meeting rooms. He wanted to see what was going on with some of rooms so he changed the password so he could open it in a profile in outlook. The problem is we have touch screen computers just outside of each meeting room so people can look at and schedule the room without needed to have a computer. The device loses it's mind without the password. Instead of changing the password he could have just given himself full access and create a profile for the room using his login and password instead of the room's password. It's a good thing I have a default password I use for all the meeting rooms. But still.

It's worse, my other boss has been messing with accounts as well. Has even been re-enabling accounts of people that have left the company, WTF?

At least he did email me and ask me to fix it though.

My 911 has the rare windshield wiper option. It can be driven in the rain if I want. I know Jim's garage queen does not have them but I figured a car in your part of the country would have them. In Hawaii for many years new cars came with no heater. Does your 911 have a heater or just the wiper delete option?

Oh, yea the leaky convertible.

Even though my 911 does have the options that allow me to drive in the rain, I chose to leave it indoors in inclement weather most times. Of course on road trips, it get rained on.

It has been in hail storms, driven through cow poop on a open range, on gravel roads, below sea level and up to over 12,180 feet in the Rocky Mountains.

In Needles, CA it was 116 degrees and a few years ago I was driving around when it was below zero here locally.

It has been to the Pacific, Atlantic and three of the 5 great lakes.

Buongiorno, y'all. The fella down the street from me commutes in his Cayman GT4. I guess, if you have to commute, you might as well enjoy it.

I think we're going to paddle our kayaks around the harbor later this AM. That's all the commuting I'm up for.

Two of the four summers I had the BoxsterS I never put the top up. It seemed to only rain at night when it was tucked neatly in the garage. If it leaked it leaked all the way out the bottom the car.

Remember the first big rain with my 914. The floor pan was about 3 inches deep in water. Figured out real quick there were drains under the seats and how to clean them. After cleaning the drains there never was any more evidence of any leaking.

Oh my gosh. Think I'm still a nerd. On my laptop right now I am running MacOS, Windows7, and 2 copies of Windows 10.

Remember back when I was into R/C airplanes. I had some software that only ran in DOS to train flying R/Cs. So had a Mac, emulating windows, that emulated DOS, that emulated flying an RC plane, that emulated flying a real plane. Way nerdy cool.

Win 7 had a emulator for Win XP that allowed us to run OLD 16 bit software. The Win 10 update killed that off. We only ran our copy of AutoCAD 2000 on it so not a major loss. I will just have to use one of the many Win XP computers we have to run AutoCAD now.

So...Back in the day there were a couple of Pizza places that made New York style thin but not real crispy pizzas and put on the sauce, then the cheese, then the toppings on top. The ground the toppings including pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, etc. The toppings were tastier.

Both changed to make their pizza like everyone elses. One went out of business. The other is still going because of it's college town legacy and rode on the coat tails of what was originally just a beer bar, ie the beer bar is Eskimo Joe's and the pizza place is Hideaway Pizza.

I've often wondered if a pizza joint would make it that made pizzas like those places used to?

Yep, we only use it to place a Geo-referenced images and save a DWG file for customers that can't figure out for themselves with the new versions.

At least you know how to use it. We have engineers that now have access to CAD and drive us nuts with questions or with having to fix drawings.

Any of you folks have exciting plans for the weekend?

It is major big time party for me this weekend. I "get" to drive to Enid, OK and "help" move the new furniture around in a new arrangement to see if that is liked and likely then try another arrangement to see what my wife and MIL that is best. If anyone wants to come help just let me know. I will be happy to share the fun time.

Nothing here. The wife is going back to Bend with the youngest. That means getting up early to take her to the airport and then do all the chores this weekend. I might get to watch the F1 race.
