Subj : weather was: food option To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Dec 30 2019 07:48:00 Hi Daryl! BM>I'm thinking more of that something else than air. You're not hollow, BM>so muscle, for one thing. ...What were you thinking??!! DS> Exhaust pipe emissions (think SBD) . You're a donut! BM>Right: can't control but can prepare and protect. ...And buy a scythe BM>for that high grass -- lawnmower won't handle! DS> Or get a group of goats to graze. :P People have done that! (Don't step in exhaust!) BM>The table or what the computers were on wasn't the issue, it was dust BM>in the air and/or lubricant in the fan that was: bound/thickened up or BM>otherwise caused the fan to stop rotating. As far as what the computers BM>themselves are, definitely stable if not sometimes overly so. DS> If it's "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust", someone under the DS> bed is coming or going. Boggie Monster!!!!! BM>I usually thinking in total capacity rather than partitioned. That did BM>screw me up a little with a computer I bought years ago. Mine had BM>suddenly died -- bought one as didn't have time nor easy availablity to BM>order the parts (pre-laptops). Got the new computer, put my stuff in BM>from backups, works - good - how come my disk space is half used BM>already? Ended up they manufacturer had partitioned the hard drive in BM>half but no mention, not even in the volume lable, was just "C:\". BM>Oddly (to me anyway) when I did 'discover' the D: partition it had a BM>lable -- think it was "DATA". DS> I had to put the website deals on the laptop in the Documents DS> folder, in their own separate directories. Yes, I do that too. Here I have a subdir called "File Cabinet" with subdirs off that. The File Cabinet holds items of interest but not necessarily daily use level. The automatically-created Documents subdirectory is more like the file folders on the office desk: currently working-on items. ...Sounds more complicated than it is -- I always figure whatever works for the person. Like the joke where everything is filed either under Miscellaneous or Junk! BM> DS> Especially when it comes to getting out of a parking space. BM>Nah: park in a pull-through! DS> I'm not always that lucky. At the grocery store I try to park next to the second cart corral. Serves as a locator, plus the space I'm in becomes a little larger just because the cart corral framework doesn't take up all the space it's in so when I park I park a bit to the right which gives me a little more room to open the door to put the groceries in, plus extra room for my cart. BM>I would too! LIS, for what I do the smaller thumbdrives tend to make BM>more sense. I tend to use them more like subdirs on a hard drive and BM>smaller projects. DS> Well, once I get the item published, I won't save the old data DS> on the thumb drive...it'll be on the websites. Then even easier to retrieve! BM>BTW, I did find out something a little while back but haven't tried it. BM>I have been doing a lot of Sneakernet up here -- insert thumbdrive in BM>Computer A, copy in file, remove thumbdrive, walk a few feet to this BM>computer, insert thumbdrive, work on the file.... USB cable between BM>the two would make sense, though something's telling me there's a BM>problem. Eventually read the problem is the 5v power lines -- don't BM>want to connect the two computers together that way! They do make BM>special USB cables with just the data lines, so no power issues. So far BM>not worth the cost of the cable, plus would be another wire to string up BM>here. DS> Yeah, some of those USB deals need to be plugged to a hub that DS> also has AC power. I swap the thumb drive between the 2 DS> computers...need to figure out how to transfer files over the DS> LAN. I've also e-mailed files to myself: one computer uses one account, the other computer a different e-mail account. BM>LIS in the previous message it's raining here -- currently not nearly a BM>hard as it was. Still 35ø. Couple of days ago got to 62ø; lately just BM>in the mid- to upper-50's. Possibility of thunderstorms tonight and BM>maybe a stray snowshower tomorrow morning. DS> No winter weather for us for awhile. It was in the 50's even even hit a record-for-the-day of 62ø last week. 31ø this morning, chance of snow flurries; was 54ø whne I went to bed. That possibility of thunderstorms in my quoteback didn't occur. BM>The one here is close to twenty, so time to keep a closer watch on it BM>than have been, No signs of curling. DS> That's reserved for hair at the beauty parlor. Old-old radio ad for a local shop when I was growing up went something like "if your looks aren't becoming to you you should be coming to us". BM> DS> Many of the homes in south Florida area had the Spanish barrel BM> DS> tiles. BM>Can't imagine from what influence! DS> I thought it was cool of the way shadows were created from DS> them. "Duuude". Smoking that funny cigarette which scares me half to death - 3 Dog Night. BM> Reminds me: I think I'll have a refill due so should ask where I BM>am on the Shingrex list -- nationwide backlog. Would prefer to not be BM>wearing a thick sweater and shiirt and try to roll up the sleeve! DS> I had to take off my long sleeve shirt to get the flu shot. I'm DS> waiting for them to say "it has to go in the hip", and I have to DS> drop the pants and underwear. But, Walgreens has a "small DS> private enclosed room, where only the customer and the DS> nurse/pharmacist are for the vaccination. And, they've seen it DS> all before. Hy-Vee also had a small room for the same. Not sure about now as the store is being remodelled and the Pharmacy was remodelled and the public area around it is either in progress of being remodelled or will be. and just thought: they're supposed to add some sort of walk-in clinic so they might use one of those rooms. ...Stay tuned! BM>I've definitely had Chicken Pox and the original vaccine. LIS in an BM>earlier paragraph just waiting until my turn comes up for the new-and- BM>improved vaccine as I don't want a Shingles episode. DS> My PCP said I didn't need the shot for shingles again. I hope DS> he's right. With such a severe attack of the chicken pox, I doubt DS> I'll get it again. I would go with what your doctor says. BM>Some are a necessity: car, house.... Can't think of another general BM>catagory right now. DS> Toilet. That's either in the house or down the trail from the house. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
