We'll figure something out to still leave for another trip somewhere, it's just, very very last minute...

What a pain though, I'm eagerly waiting the week off to let go and relax.

Glenn Schroeder wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 2:43 pm That's a shame. Find something else relaxing to do instead.

By the way, I find variations in commonly used phrases interesting. Here we'd say the road was washed out, not washed up.

We might have found something. Nothing truely beats going up North where there's no network, phone, cable and barely any eletricity.

Just imagine this.

You drive 8 hours of highway to then do about an hour of trail to arrive at a location for pickup.
A huge pontoon comes to pick you up with all your things and brings you a few miles down the reservoir to your shack.
You have your own shack that's located on a Lake, with no near neighbors to annoy you, in the middle of the forest. You can take a 5 minute walk to the main camp if you truely need some WIFI for specific reasons.
No network, no TV, no cellphone, just people relaxing together with a beer on the porch, or fishing/boating while enjoying the weather.
Spend a week over there without worries, relax while enjoying the peacefulness.
Possibility to do bonfires during night time, but most of the time people end up sleeping to prepare for the next day, and also because it is in the middle of nature and therefor there are animals such as bears that roam around.

My family used to own an island cabin in Ontario which sounds about exactly parallel to what you describe. They kept adding improvements to it over the years, though. Time spent there was priceless. I believe it'd be very difficult to find an equivalent substitution.

Main similarity is the products seem to be as smooth as a Caddy with three headlights and one tail fin.

Glenn Schroeder wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 11:35 am Speaking of that local station, listening to it was the first time I ever heard this Johnny Cash song. How many of you other old folks recognize the voice at the end?

bnemec wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 12:38 pm I have never heard that song, I'd remember. I was tempted to skip to the end but listened through letting my imagination run. But her voice is unmistakable, and not who I was expecting! LMAO!!!!!!! I'm not gonna tell, just a hint. $1.98

All the same, on March 4 a mystery rocket from sources unknown did hit the dark side of the moon. I guess they only track what they do know about.

How do they know about the mystery rocket?

bnemec wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 10:01 am Stupid question that I wonder about; if a website can write cookies and other crap somewhere on my PC to make their site work better, then why the heck can that site not delete those cookies/files that it wrote when said cookies cause site to not function correctly? Why do I have to clear the files they wrote? Cloud apps seem to be some of the worst offenders of this. It seems they're already in the same rut as desktop apps that need tutorials for "clean" uninstall process.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not whole heartedly against SaaS. I'm whole heartedly against the BS marketing about how it doesn't suffer from the problems that desktop apps suffer from. By the way, the website that prompted my stupid question post has nothing to do with DSS. It's some project management/collaboration SaaS that we're using.

SPerman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 10:47 am I'm sure the web app developers have reasons for leaving them on there. In this day and age, information is money, and those cookies contain information. I don't know or understand the specifics of how they monetize it, but they do.

Frederick_Law wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 1:38 pm Usually it's not the cookies causing problem. It's cache. The site can write to cookies but can't do anything with cache.
User can set browser to delete cookies and cache on exit.

Usually it's a update problem.
Website has some update. There cache on routing servers. They may not get updated in time. When user access the site, they get combination of what's in their cache, routing cache from different route server.

Let's just say that I've been running around like a 3-legged cat trying to bury poop on a frozen pond.

Really, really, really busy at work, and there are a TON of home projects that are close to being done.

Anyone that has kids should know about the "If you give a mouse a cookie" or "If you give a moose a muffin" books . . . That is how it has been!
We started by talking about getting a new couch & loveseat for the living room -
What will we do with the old couches?
The old couches can go downstairs.
What about the even older couches that are already downstairs?
Let's find someone that has kids going to college!
Before we move the couches downstairs, we should really look at replacing the carpet.
Before we replace the carpet, we should paint, because we won't care if it gets on the old carpet.
Before we paint, we need to patch some drywall & fix the holes from the wall plate anchors. (Put in a while back to reinforce the basement walls)
Since we don't have enough irons in the fire already, let's look at putting in a large garden where we tore down the old shed!

We should be in the home stretch now, a little bit of touch up, still need to paint/hang some doors, get the office set up again, and so on.
I'll try to post some pics this weekend.

You get to the 5th step in the sequence and you give up out of despair and go fishing! Much less work and stress that way!

P.S. I highly recommend Patrick McManus' books. I have yet to find someone that can beat his humor!

We remodeled the kitchen and both bathrooms and painted everything else in 2019, but I did a lot less (just some of the painting).

I told my wife that the next time (if there is a next time) we're hiring someone else to do ALL of it. I'm done.

We were very smart and let someone handle bringing in the rock and landscaping the back yard (which is happening right now!)
Moving several tons of rock from the driveway to the backyard did not sound the least bit appealing to either of us!
