Morning folks. A nice 64/83 day on tap.

75 here today and I am good with that too.

Swam at like 8:30.
Bathroom remodel could be done today. Then painter and new blinds are the last touches, which will be completed this week or beginning of next week. Silicone applied to glass will take 48 hours to cure. It will be "done" when I can take a shower.

Nothing much else to report.

Probably too late to suggest but we switched to shutters after we renovated the house and we LOVE them instead of blinds. Easier to change orientation, maintain and give the house a totally different feel.

Wifey wanted the shutters even though they cost more BUT, she’s completely happy with them so (…and I shutter to say this…) cost was not a real consideration ‘cause Happy Wife = Happy Life so hadda do it.

Of course ymmv.

Al, my prayers are with you during this difficult time.[

Sorry to hear that, Al.

So sorry Al prayers for you and family.

Cancer is horrible. It attacks all walks of life. It doesn't care about your race, sex, age, or economic status. The medical field has made great advancements in treating it and hopefully they will eventually find a cure.

Prayers go out to you, your sister and your family.

Computer monitors are inexpensive these days. I recently bought one on Amazon for like under $75 (24 inch LED, 1080P), but only 75 Hz - unless you are a video freak or a gaming freak 75 Hz is fine. Black Friday deals are in the swing and will be going on until Christmas. You'll be able to get LED monitors and TV's low to mid range for dirt cheap.

Friend of mine dropped off a Dell tower that he had no use for, It had Windows Vista on it (puke) so I scrubbed it and put on Windows 10 (wanted to do Linux or Chrome OS but most average people don't know how to use Linux of Chrome OS). It needed a monitor, keyboard, mouse and USB WiFi dongle to get it up to standard. Maybe cost me about $150 and a couple hours of work to install the needed OS, apps and stuff but it's solid and running. It just needs a new home to donate to someone in the area.

I need another computer like I need another hole in the head but I'm happy to take older ones. Upgrade them and give them away to people that need one. If I have it and don't need it, then it's yours to take.

Usually they just need one to surf the web, do email, the MS office stuff, online school and simple stuff like that. These don't require a ton of RAM, a ton of storage space, large processors or video cards. Simple things for simple tasks.

$hit the most basic flip cell phones have more computing power than what was used in the space modules to put the first man on the moon. Just think about that for a minute. We have come a long way win a short time.

Mornin' dudes... need coffee.

Was raining, so not sure about the dog walk.

Morning humpers!

Ram, I'd shoot the cat and get a dog.

Good Wednesday Morning to All! It's an overcast 54°on the way to 62° today, going to the range to get in a little practice before the rain.

HHD Ram n dudes

Nice! My Honda CR-V battery died after only 18 months, so I complained to the service manager, and they sent me a $250 gift certificate. New 60 month battery cost $170 installed.

I swear we only get 50% of the service life of batteries here because of the heat...

Glad Honda took care of you.

Keep waiting for my wife's battery to go out. It's the original battery date marked 2015. Last year it seemed a little weak in the cold but the car is rarely cold. Wife only does short trips and the garage is heated. If I take her car to work that's the only time it sits outside and gets fully cold.

I should just change it now while I'm thinking about it but I'm gonna wait until one of us is stranded in -20 weather to deal with it.

Been a AAA member since 1964. Never regretted becoming a member.

I can only speak from my limited experience with them. I haven't had to use it for years but when I did, the towing companies have been reliable and showed up within an hour. Maybe it's my location and/or the towing shops that are in the AAA network in the northeast region.

I still think it's a reliable membership for me and my kids About $100 for the yearly plus membership per person. It pays for itself if you need to get roadside assistance or a tow. A tow for 100 miles would cost me multiple $100's of dollars. If I don't have to use it that's a good thing.

Again, this is just my limited personal experience and I can't speak for others. I also see it as a safety net if my son breaks down on the road. I would rather have it and not use vs needing it and not have it

I have roadside assistance through USAA. Pretty much same deal as AAA... used it a couple times, no issues.

Mornin' dudes... coffeed up. Need to get to steppin'...

Yeah... it's raining. Not sure I want to walk those 3 miles and I know Tank doesn't. He pooped in the back yard and went back to his bed.

Did the walk... both got a little wet. Didn't rain real hard, but the drizzle lasted a good 20 minutes and didn't really start until we were halfway around...
