Subj : Resend SpringHasSpru To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Thu Jul 02 2020 10:05:00 Barry, BM> Last day of June as I write this. Woke up to 73ø, supposed to get into BM> the very very upper 80's -- overcast currently as there's a BM> thunderstorm (wow! did you see Daryl's ears?!) system in SE Iowa, BM> (Yesterday was essentially clear and got into the mid-90's.) The local BM> TV forecast is saying the rain will stay south and we'll get maybe half BM> an inch; better thas nothing. Yeah, that static charge alerts the ears each time. We are looking at good chances to a likelihood of thunderstorms every day through much of next week. So, that means little BBS activity...and maybe little ham radio activity as well. BM> I don't eat the turkey I'll have the fish. For fish, I've had cod, flounder, catfish, salmon, and haddock. Of course, I do it for the halibut . Locally, we have 3 restaurants that offer regular seafood...Long John Silvers (they have too much crunchy breading, IMO), Captain D's, and Red Lobster (the last time I was there, their service sucked...and they're way more expensive than the previous 2 noted). Wendy's and Arby's only serve fish during Lent, to pick up the Catholic customers...as that's "the only meat they can eat during that time". Burger King and McDonald's have a fish sandwich on their menu year round. BM> Sort of! Still do the 'early holiday' as was a lot easier for us BM> working retail, plus the kids could spend Christmas with grandparents, BM> boyfriends' families. now their own. The only "holidays" I have now, are the holiday screens on the BBS. BM> Yes, even something relatively simple like Fried Rice takes special BM> ingredients and cookware. I don't like to wait for my food, and you don't call me late for dinner. BM> Which probably very few people will bother to do. Sort of a fine line BM> between laziness and trust: if it's been printed why not believe what BM> it says? Especially if you saw it on the internet or Facebook. :P NB> ... MAC error msg: "Like dude, something went wrong" BM> That didn't quite make sense at first: I'm still bringing up BM> the various computers back on-line: changing the LAN IP address from BM> the DSL-issued 192.168.0.x to the fiber optic's 192.168.4.x, so the BM> 'MAC' got interpreted as the one attached to network indentification as BM> opposed to the Apple computer initially. ...More coffeeeeee!! Or like the Error 404 message with a manic-depression server. :P I've got that text on the BBS computer in the other room, but the internet is flaky this morning ahead of thunderstorms...so that will have to get posted later.
