Well, February will be a better month for you. I wouldn't want to know what is coming between the filling and butt spelunking.

oh man, I am due for one of those too. Don't know if they want to put me under anesthetic yet though.

When I was in for the TIA some chick came in and inspected my butt for bed sores!!
Was there less than 1 day and a no time did anyone else see my butt to think it needed checked for bed sores.
AND she didn't check my wrist band for my name like all the other staff did.
Think maybe I was victim of the Hospital Butt Fetish Voyuer.

Drove the truck to work today since it doesn't get driven often and the battery is getting weak. It sits in the detached garage and it was -4* this morning. It takes a LONG time to heat the inside of an SUV, especially when the engine doesn't warm up quickly. Will let it idle a bit before I leave work. It won't warm up when idling but it gives it a head start at least if I put it on recirculate and the temp on hot.

My hot water froze last night. Cold was fine, just the hot water. That's weird. Especially sinc my water comes in under my kitchen sink on an outside wall, then goes to my water filter then comes back. Goes from there to the water heater and cold water in the house. Opened the cabinet doors under the sink and the closet in my garage where the water heater is. In about 10 minutes the hot water came back on.

Richard, I can't imagine anyone on the planet wanting to look at yer butt. The lady that came for the inspection in likely went to HR and said I quit!

One thing great about the way our house is laid out, none of the plumbing is on an outside wall. The closest thing to a point of possible freezing is the bathroom in my garage. It is part of the HIVAC system and it is a little room. It stays nice and toasty in there, and the sink side has the garage behind it and toilet has the water connection coming up from the floor. In the 20 years we have lived here we have never had any freezing issues.

It is down to 40 degrees in the garage right now. I have a heater out there, but no reason to run it. 40 is way above freezing point so no big deal.

Our garage will get below 40 on days when it is below 0* and we have hot and cold running water out there. The automatic dog waterer is hooked up the the hot water for the pups to drink but they don't drink enough for it to actually get hot. We use the cold about once a day to fill the heated water dish outside when the pups want to go play. When the kids are out and the pups run they get really thirsty as dry as the air is.

So far it has not gotten to freezing.

This was the first time I've ever had any sort of freezing problem. Don't think it was the coldest it's been since I've lived here. Maybe it's something they put in the water.

Diet Coke would always freeze in mom and dad's fridge and the water didn't .

At least you know it is't ethylene glycol.

Maybe it's whatever started making the front loading washer smell. Had it for years and no smell. Then a few years ago it started stinking. Run washer cleaner thru it and it is odorless for about 6 months. Maybe I need to take it apart and give it a good OCD cleaning.

Weeeeeee

Having fun copying huge files. First copy all 962 files and 262 GB of files from external drive at my partners house, the run them all through one program to make make them into a standard tiff file that Photoshop can edit, then into Photoshop for a batch tweak of color and density, then another program to make them into a GEO-tiff file which is just a tiff file, but with the geo-reference in the header. Then back into another program to make a GIANT mother mosaic of all the files. Then figure out how to deliver them to the client. Then throw away a huge pile of the intermediate files that are not needed anymore.

Yea, likely some form of external hard drive. Each file is just under 200 MB. I am just thrilled that Photoshop finally listened to all the complaints from users and put the batch processing back into Photoshop. I just ran a test batch of just 80 files. It zipped right along. For several years Adobe decided they know what is best and took batch process out of Photoshop and put in a separate program that was totally messed up.

Now if Adobe would just listen to some of the other complaints. Like why do I need to see every stinking file format in the world it can open and save? Let me pick and chose the 5 or 6 I use regularly. I have never need a Sitex file or a Diacom file ever. Put those in a sub folder and get em out of the way.

Can you make an action that takes you to the save window and chooses the correct format?

Well, it opens the files on at a time makes the color curve tweak and saves it to a new folder of my choosing, in the proper format and then closes the image and goes on to the next one. So yea, I guess so. It ran through a bunch of files just fine.

Well you said you didn't like it listing all the file formats and you only used a few so I wondered if you could make an action that just opens the save dialog and picks a format. You could make an action for each format you actually use.

Tin foil hat is bogus information spread by Extraterrestrials. It's works like an old TV antenna, the tin foil actually gives them better reception!

If you wear a tin foil lined cup then they will think all you think about is sex. Butt of you wear tin foil underwear it will just make you an easier target for probes.
