Another Wednesday in ze books. Glad to see many of my church folk easing back. This flu season here has been vicious.

Getting another tooth pulled today. That will leave a whole five on the bottom row.

Makes me sound older than I am, but I never listened to my mother and took care of my teeth when I was young. Being stubborn kept me out of drugs, alcohol and criminal activities because I thought they were all stupid, but with my dentition it definitely worked against me.

Dad says the bottom dentures are harder to keep secure in your mouth without getting metal post implants to snap them into. Gee that sounds like fun...

Thursday! My favorite day of the week! 

[mini]

Took Chey to Crystal Bridges today. That pretty much took up all day. Back at work tomorrow....

You can change the taskbar alignment in Windows 11 to the left by right-clicking on the taskbar, selecting "Taskbar settings," and then adjusting the "Taskbar alignment" option to "Left."

I've never had the need to align MY taskbar, mini-ster. You done did click on the wrong quote..
Another day...another slew of work done. Chey left the 'vette unattended so I took it and Lou to dinner. First time in months that I actually drove it. I miss that car- but I will admit it is not as easy to get in and out of as it was three or four years ago when I bought it.

Been busy this week with kids and grands. Cooking like crazy.

You need to align your taskbar, that's for sure.  I think you are a little womper jawed.

Nope.. that just "centers" the options ON the taskbar to center or left.
Mine used to be literally on the left side of my screen. lol

[mini]

Oh!  I get what you are saying now.  I don't know if Windows 11 will do that.

From what I can find, that function is no longer available in stock Windows 11.

(Of course my Linux mint still does it...)       

There are some third party programs that restore that function. Windhawk and explorerpatcher are two open source ones. There are also some paid ones that give a lot more functionality.

EDIT: never mind about explorerpatcher. It makes things break every time Windows updates.

Shew. Long day today. Got a call from a crazy guy who informed me that I " was CEO of Deep Dark Google" -whatever that is- and had, along with Bill Clinton, a local lawyer, and various other politicians, stolen billions from him. I apparently had taken him from a "quadrillionaire" to broke, and was keeping him from his rightful due, which was "the interest on the national debt, literally".
I gently explained to the deluded gentleman that I was innocent, and explained had I ever been given a passing acquaintance with that kind of money, I'd not be a law officer, and he would not be speaking with me, as I would be laying on my private beach on my private island somewhere in the Carribean.

Made it through that weird call and finally got to church for an awesome prayer meeting tonight followed by dinner with several of the church men, as the women of the church are at a ladies' conference with Sis Diede Cooley in Beebe.
Now I am at home alone, listening to the ham radio and weather radio discussing the tremendous winds and tornado warnings active in Arkansas

my sister in law was there.

We just waved bye-bye to the last of that heavy weather. I am not a fan. You should have kept it in Arkansas, East that is. Maybe it would have coaxed a few hills out of all those plains.

I lost a bit of time at my job because they kept calling tornado warnings and we kept having to walk to the restroom and wait it out. The men's restroom is the safest room in the whole building, allegedly. I have been there since 2009 and never seen it put to the test. Apparently the whole area is safe, because I have never even seen a funnel cloud near it. And if we did get wiped out by a tornado, I'm pretty sure the whole matchbox building would be obliterated, lavatory and all.

Well...glad that storm is through and it didn't connect with us here. Praying for those it did affect.
Went yesterday to a close friend's 25th pastoral anniversary. Got to see alot of old friends, despite feeling out of place amongst the ministers. I did get to speak briefly with our presbyter.
Got home late, slept very little, woke with a scripture and a thought. Put it together for tonight and found it bears resemblance to something I preached a few years ago.
Funny, the longer I reach the more I find some of those old notes are handy when God lays it on your heart. It is neat how it is different dates, sometimes different people, and a thought and a scripture stick with you-same notes, same preacher- but when you preach it, it is a totally different message.

[Roscoe]

Hello all. Seems to have gotten quiet.
Back at work...gonna leave early to go get Lous car out of the shop. Had a bad wheel bearing and since it was under warranty they are covering it and are supposed to have it ready after lunch.
Went and got Rusty yesterday. Interior cane out just as i wanted and the tilt wheel made a huge difference.

[sunlight]

now you can wear rusty more comfortably? :evilgrin:

[MsJennJenn]

If these Oklahoma winds dont go away I'm gonna beat someone up. Idk who...but I'll find someone. 

And Isaac as this is my work computer I probs shouldnt download anything that will break it.... lol. or maybe i should.... 

[Roscoe]

Yes. Apparently being measured for a truck cab is the way to go. Who knew?
Been a busy, irritating in some ways, week. Chey moved into her apartment's bedroom which was 95 percent finished- the final 5% I'll finish soon. About a quarter of the way on the living room- I hope to have it done by this time next month.

[Lynx]

Oh... Well of course, at your job you are expected to deal with irritations. If you actually enjoyed your job they would have to start charging admission.

[Roscoe]

Urgh. Morning. The bane of my existence. The day should start around noon.

Woke up late. Figured since I was a couple.minutes late I might as well get a frappe. Choice #1... backed up for a block. Nope, not waiting. Choice #2- two cars in the drivethrough. Doable. Get to the window, order my frappe and a cinnamon toast bagel that looks tasty. Drink comes out...no bagel. Please move forward. TWENTY MINUTES LATER I get my bagel. Sheesh.
Id have been better off waiting at choice #1

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I saw Roscoe work today.  It was as awful as it sounds.

It was even worse to do.
After seeing Mini-ster and Kim, I got back home and proceeded to work like I was 20 on Chey's apartment. Hanging sheetrock quickly reminded me that I am NOT 20.
I am hurting.
Church tomorrow.

My electric mower arrived!

We have been able to stick electric motors and big spinning blades on stuff for my whole life, but only recently has battery technology improved enough for us to make it mobile and run around the yard without a very, very long extension cord.

So far I am a big fan of this big fan.

I did have to immediately swap out the blade. It came with a mulching blade by default, I guess because the people who are most likely to buy electric mowers are Save The Earth people. It runs a lot smoother with a normal blade spitting grass out the side like a normal lawn mower.

56 volts is nothing to play with. This is the same battery pack I used to power my electric bike last year. It can bring some serious punch.

"But the battery runs down after a while." Exactly! That's the best part! When the battery runs down you are through for the day. I'll get back to it tomorrow when the battery is charged.
