Subj : Re: Isolation Dia To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Wed Jul 29 2020 23:35:30 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 07-Jul-2020 09:51 <=- BM> Good Grief! Only 8 a.m. and already 81ø out there!! Didn't bode well for the rest of the day...! BM>>> It's officially 83ø outside currently and the neighbour a few houses BM>>> down is having their roof replaced. Yesterday two neighbours the BM>>> block behind us were having their roofs replaced. ...May not be the BM>>> high but did get to at least 82ø yesterday. Today supposed to get to BM>>> 90ø. NB>>> I guess one shouldn't be too unhappy about the heat... it is summer NB>>> now, after all... BM>> Right. This morning was a we-should-open-the-windows-for-a-while 68ø. BM>> Quickly decided against that by looking at the next line: 94% BM>> humidity! Supposed to be in the low 90's later today (Saturday, June BM>> 27) and the next several days. NB>> Yeah, that humidity would be a killer.... Meanwhile, we enter a heat NB>> advisary tomorrow (Tues 7th) afternoon, until Friday (10th) evening at NB>> 8... Temps in the mid to high 90s, heat indices possible over 100ø.... NB>> not my idea of fun... Night lows only getting into the lower 70s, NB>> too... Fortunately, there's nothing scheduled this week for going out NB>> until Saturday, when the high is "only" in the mid 80s..... BM> Ahhhh!! Coooollllllll!!! As I said in an earlier message we've got BM> the hot'n'humid currently and should break on Thursday and last the BM> weekend. Then there's next week.... This whole month has been mostly heat advisories with a few breaks with highs only in the mid-80s... not been functioning all that well, as you may have noticed from my erratic messagings.... BM>> Looks to have! I had a problem with one of my REP sets but I think it BM>> was a 'bad finger routine' on my end: didn't give the right commands BM>> as I'm not used to doing an upload and then download together -- had BM>> finished the day previous' packet that morning, so upload then BM>> download. I don't see the confirmation listing during the upload as the BM>> machine goes on to the next step too quickly -- have to scroll back but BM>> had done the download so the scroll buffer didn't have the REP portion BM>> any longer. Something just didn't seem quite right so kept the old BM>> REPs, added a 'may be a duplicate' and re-inserted them later. NB>> And, if I recall correctly, that set turned out NOT to be NB>> duplicated... BM> Right -- not sure what went wrong here, just some step didn't get done BM> and since didn't feel right redid. Generally good to trust your gut... especially if no easy way to verify one way or the other.... ;) BM>> Yes, and maybe that REP episode above is another example. I don't BM>> recall seeing anything but it didn't seem right. Or the Data LED BM>> being off on the fiber optic modem -- the tech didn't seem to mind and BM>> one interpretation of the manual's statement would seem to make it OK, BM>> but.... NB>> Never hurts to pay attention when your mind is trying to tell you NB>> something isn't quite right... ;) BM> Yes. Since i was the one who unplugged the cable years ago maybe I BM> remembered, just not actively. And another part of figuring out the BM> puzzle was how to test the cable -- 'laptop' seems obvious but that BM> obviousness got covered up slightly as usually I use wirelessly. All BM> turned out well. :) And as they say, all's well that ends well... ;) BM>>> Yes, and the plan could be to open and some event occur effecting BM>>> last-minute changes. ...At this point I'd be thinking "it's back to BM>>> school" but also make considerations for home-schooling. NB>>> One thing we've all learned... be ready with contingency plans... ;) BM>> Definitely! There have been announcements on this week's news of BM>> various school districts on both sides of the River having meetings/ BM>> virtual meetings to discuss various options, what worked, what didn't, BM>> what sort of did and so needs tweaking. NB>> Good that they seem to be on top of things... :) BM> Yes. I haven't been paying attention enough to know what the progress BM> is. After all, at the moment, you have no real need to pay attention... :) ttyl neb .... When your chocolate bar melts in the fridge...
