Hurlshort Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Hah, I thought they were all the same pic. Which shows how well I was paying attention when I read it early in the morning.

Guard Dog Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Bought a big cup of gumbo for breakfast. Heading home today by way of Shreveport. Going to look at a few other state parks along the way.

Malcador Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Disappointed in my Youtube recommendations, seems they think I am super into whining about SJWs and videos about guns (mostly crap where some guy "reviews" things like the SCAR or Glock) for some reason.

Guard Dog Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Back home again. Getting the smokehouse ready for cooking. My total catch this week was two hardhead catfish. One already cooked and gone. I caught four cobia but only one was big enough to keep. I’m glad I checked because they were checking at the ranger station as I left. The Cobia and the other catfish are going in the smoker this afternoon. I also caught a couple of sheepshead that were too small and a few others not fit for eating. Unless I was in some kind of survival situation. Then it’s screw the sizes and limit. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
LadyCrimson Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 One of my parents neighbors used to take an annual salmon fishing run. He'd return home with both smoked canned salmon and not-canned smoked salmon (some was done where he fished, some he did in a backyard smoker). He'd always give some to my mother. Best smoked salmon ever. And I'm not a fish eating person. 1 “Things are as they are.

majestic Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 40 minutes to midnight, and I'm sitting here pushing some code for an unplanned quick release necessitated by one of our branches and a customer simply starting with a new business process that we discussed where I asked them for a week's notice to set everything up. I mean technically they gave me a week. Like "hey we started last week and this doesn't really work, what's the deal?" 2 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Guard Dog Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 As soon as I finish this cup of coffee I’m going to go out and start cutting ground for the garden.

LadyCrimson Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I had to sign the tax papers the other day and hubby, observing my taking off finger splints, told me soon I'll need a rubber 'X' stamp, pffft. You can get adequate at using your stupid hand for a lot more things but (for me anyway) penmanship isn't one of them. This morning I woke up having the use the bathroom and when I got back into bed my brain said "nope too late not sleepy now" ... so I got up again and fiddled with game things. Now it's time for a short walk, food, and then ... a nap? “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Company migrating our stuff to The Cloud and of course tonnes of stuff is breaking or they just flat out ignored some services that need to be moved over, so that's fun. Also taking a course on Project Management, sort of laughing at the instructor emphasizing how important it is to keep a tight hand on project scope and purpose. Should forward this to Chris Roberts.

LadyCrimson Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) A while back I noticed this little thing in hubby's office, that I at first thought was some router or whatnot: It's one of those mini-PC's. Apparently his work has been giving those to workers who don't have good enough computers needed to do their work/networking from home so he has one to test it etc. I think they run around $200-$400 depending on ram and power and the like. Obviously not for gaming, but more general desktop tasks. Anyway, for some reason I want one now. Edited March 9, 2021 by LadyCrimson 1 “Things are as they are.

Probably could, at least the meth, maybe cheaper than Oregon. Meth addiction is a problem in Maine, last I had checked. Also seems that in smaller towns, it's always meth.
