Dadgummit... CC got compromised. Locally, too. Someone tried to use it at Dominos, Uber Eats and Lyft... all online. All transactions were denied. Card canceled and cut up, new one enroute. Had that one so long I memorized the number. Good thing, too because it wore off the card and you could only read the last 6 numbers on it. |

Hey now |
16. Author: BuckyB93 | Date: Tue, 4/16/2024, 5:46PM EST | |
From the album Obscured by Clouds. Free Four. One of my fav Floyd songs.
The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die
Life is a short, warm moment And death is a long, cold rest You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye Eighty years, with luck, or even less
So all aboard for the American tour And maybe you’ll make it to the top And mind how you go, and I can tell you, ’cause I know You may find it hard to get off
You are the angel of death And I am the dead man’s son And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole And everyone is still on the run
And who is the master of fox hounds? And who says the hunt has begun? And who calls the tune in the courtroom? And who beats the funeral drum?
The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die

Most underrated Pink Floyd song is "On the Turning Away" |

MidnightToker( • )( • ) wrote:Most underrated Pink Floyd song is "On the Turning Away" I kinda agree. It's a great song. I'm kinda biased with Rodger Waters Pink Floyd but when they split David Gilmour and the core resurrected Floyd for a while while Waters kinda faded away. I'm still a fan of Radio K.A.O.S and some songs off of Pros & Cons Of Hitch-Hiking. I think I saw Floyd back in the late 80's on their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour back at the old Camp Randal Stadium in Madison Wisconsin. I say I think because... well, it was a Floyd show... I was in college.. some memories are kinda sorta not very crisp in those years. |

Mornin' dudes. Lanai to sunroom project starts today.
Dog walk, gym, then a 90 minute massage scheduled for the afternoon. Need to figure out what's on the menu, though... haven't put much thought into that, and whatever it is needs to be thawed, so I better figure it out soon. |

I wonder just what the percentage is of CC cards that have been compromised. Over a span of years I'm guessing 50%? A warm 58 headed to 90 today. Forced march, gym then layabout. |

On and off rain in varying intensities throughout the day. Babysitting for a guest greyhound through Thursday.
He’s not the brightest light, however, he has the sweetest disposition. Has that look of wonderment in his eyes. As if to know there is a fun adventure coming up next, filled with hope and possibilities.
An especially sweet boy. |

Gonna get out the implements of destruction and trim all the bushes in the yard. And with the temps edging up toward 100 degrees it might be time for some personal bush trimming also. |

Guy showed up to start the sunroom project at 0800. By himself. He's been working since then and the entire project will be done in about 30 minutes. All he has left to do is install the screens and caulk the interior and exterior edges. Now I'll have to get a plexiglass insert for one of the windows so I can put the AC exhaust and a small fan exhaust in it for when I sit out there and puff on cigars when it's hot outside. |

Might also want to look into polycarbonate (Lexan) while looking into acrylic (Plexiglass). Pros and cons of both - Polycarbonate easier to cut and drill, it won't crack or chip where Plexiglass can. This may be important if you plan on cutting it and drilling it. You can actually bend it like sheet metal without it snapping. - Although both block UV, polycarbonate can start to yellow over time (like 7 years) but Plexiglass won't. Many polycarbonate sheets these days have additions or surface treatments to help prevent UV yellowing. - Plexiglass is typically less expensive than polycarbonate. - Plexiglass is typically more scratch resistant than polycarbonate but don't use abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes on either of them. - Polycarbonate is way more shatter resistant (it doesn't shatter) than Plexiglass which is why it's used in things like windshields and bullet proof glass. - Don't clean either of them with regular glass cleaners, particularly those containing ammonia, as they can cause clouding or damage to the surface. - Never use vinegar glass cleaning solutions on Plexiglass. Polycarbonate is fine with vinegar glass cleaner as long as it doesn't have any other funky additions. Make your own at home with white vinegar and water. Best bet is to use mild soap and water or a specialized plastic glass cleaner - this is fine for both polycorbonate and Plexiglass. |

Mowed this evening. Tired.
Now just got to weedeat a few things when I have time.
Tried those Ramps that I dug up last weekend on some soft tacos and some 15 bean soup. I like em.
Looked em up in my Forager's Harvest book on wild edibles and it says they're also known as "Wild Leeks". Tasty.

We are in the Willamette Valley in Oregon now. Listening to the extreme left opinion and disinformation about Gaza is disgusting as are the antisemitic comments and hatred. The anti-Christianity comments and hatred are also disgusting. We are still having fun, though we would never want to live in California or Oregon. We may also visit Washington and hit the wine trifecta. |

Neighbor lady’s cancer surgery did not go as designed. Bigger than the 11 millimeters of cancer, removing her upper lobe on the right lung. This is the woman who found out her sister was diagnosed with lung cancer.
In yet a darker turn, when I checked in with neighbor lady’s husband, he shared she learned her brother found out this week he has cancer throughout his body.
It’s Monte Python level of ridiculous misery. |

Ufff...
Cancer sucks. The head of the accountant at work is under going breast cancer treatment. Hopefully they caught it before it took hold of her body. I wouldn't want to do cancer treatment. Cancer sucks.
A brother of a good friend of mine had lung cancer. He did the treatments for a while then said enough is enough. The treatments left him pretty much bed ridden so he chose to quit treatment since living trough all the treatments was, in his opinion, was worse than the cancer.
Choice was to do couple years more of treatment that won't cure it but fight it off for a couple of years and be miserable or stop treatment and live a few months with less misery from side effects of the radiation and drugs.
He wanted to live his last days without being bed ridden and accepted the inevitable. If it were me, I probably would have done the same. |

The treatment was awful and he made the same choice as your brother’s friend. They say “fighting “ cancer is noble, and it is. But I admire my uncle for his courage and dignity. |
