On a hot humid day have actually seen snow blow out of the 928 center vent.

Then it is not working right. The evaporator should never get below 33 degrees. The sensor bulb is not doing the job and cause freeze up. The Elky will blow 38 degree air at the max setting for the fan when it is 100+ degrees outside. It is the same AC system they put in the station wagon but it has a ton less interior space.

Morning all.

The boss at the old company is coming into town today to finish emptying the building. My partner has his 60 inch mower in the building. He used to mow the lawn there and just kept the mower inside. Now the lawn is 3 feet tall and he can get the mower out today.

The big question is what is going to happen to the fantastic archive of old negatives dating to 1947. Actually there are some images there from the 1930s, but those were bought from the national archives. Still images of every bit of Oklahoma and parts Kansas and parts of Texas dating back to 1947 is a treasure that should be preserved. They don't belong to me so not much I can do. If he starts to trash them, I will be sure to video it and make sure I can see his face. It will be posted to Facebook as a tragedy.

With some luck he will donate them to the historical society or a museum somewhere. The commercial value is not that high. We made 3 or 4 thousand on the good years from them. Zero cost to just store them, so it was pure profit. I will miss them like they were my own.

Good Moring.

Glen, Good Luck with that guy.

As someone whom has seen the historical photos from the company scatter after I was moved from being in charge of the department, totally understand the angst. Was also concerned they quit using the ® trademark symbol on the products that are registered trademarks. But, hey, that's what happens when you put people in that are not qualified and the people in charge don't understand either. The logo they are using today is everything except what is specified by the registered trademark and they have done nothing to protect the new logo and could actually be fined for using the ® without it being registered.

Oh, and why the (explitive deleted) doesn't Microsoft use the same html rendering engine compatibility as everyone else with email clients? It doesn't even render the same between their own products? That is what is wrong with America today. The people that are supposed to maintain standards either don't exist or aren't doing their job.

Last week we retired a server. Sent out multiple messages informing users that it was going to be retired. All the data from the old server was being moved to a new server. These messages included information to access the new server, the window of opportunity to access the new server before the old on is shut down, and the date the old server would be shut down. Today we have managers requesting access to the old server. I just don't understand. My only conclusion is functional illiteracy.

I have found that if its not directly related to their job they don't read the emails.

MS has their own standards for HTML and always has. That is why stuff renders wrong sometimes in IE.

At least make EI, Edge, Outlook web, Outlook PC, and Outlook Mac all render the same! Not all different. And get rid of that freakin Word formatting in an HTML renderer.

I think I found a place for my dad to move into but he has to approve it. Right now my sister is attempting to fatten him up for the trip to North Carolina. I am hoping he makes it to and from at this point.

no one is working outside today unless they have to. My car is covered in ash from the forest fires.

That sucks. Are these the fires from the teen in the other thread?
