Filled up my backpack sprayer with insecticidal soap mix and sprayed our hemlock hedge to knock back the Wooly Adelgid infestation that comes every spring. Spray, wait two weeks and spray again. Don't like to use any type of poison but without it we would lose our hemlocks.
Still recovering from my wrist and hand surgery. Got to looking at the scar on my wrist and found two places where small thread like tendons were poking out. I know what tendon looks like because I've worked with whitetail, elk,and buffalo tendon while taking historically correct western NA bows and arrows. Got a appointment with the VA next week to get my tendons stuffed back in. The older I get the more life throws at me. Mostly fun though.
Friday the 13th, early meeting this morning at 7:00 AM to discuss a customer issue, now in a meeting called "Should it be a meeting?" and I can't figure out why the heck I'm attending this meeting. The host explained that he's trying to invite our group to participate in a bi-weekly meeting that has no relevant content for our team. He's now talking about climate change and the impact of meetings on the environment.

I think my desktop has died; this morning it booted up fine and everything seemed to work but I couldn't get online, the browser would open but wouldn't connect. Closed the browser, reopened, twice, still nothing. My router seemed fine because this Chromebook and phone were good via wi-fi, and cable from the router to the PC were all good. The Windows troubleshooting diagnostic said something about not being able to connect to proxy settings but I couldn't find where or how to change proxy settings.
So, computer-neanderthal that I am, I decided to do a 'system restore' to a 'safe point' six days ago when it all worked. This strategy has always worked in the past. But this time something got jammed up partway through the system restore, gave me some silly message, and after powering down it still won't come up. I'll see if I can at least get into 'safe mode' but don't know what good that'll do - I don't even know what 'safe mode' is, let alone how to use it to recover anything.
I don't think it's anything malicious or malware-related. I just think something stopped working and then I made it worse. I hate computer problems; I don't have a clue about how to maneuver and figure things out and because much of my coffee stuff revoles around my PC docs for labels and printing, my brain goes to meltdown and my guts tie up in a knot.
If it is any consolation I probably hate 'puters more than you do, I even have trouble answering the "smart" phone.
The chrome book has been a godsend for me. Let me know if you would like to borrow a hammer.
Thank you, Edward. The only reason to salvage my desktop is for some data/documents regarding coffee stuff and my church treasurer responsibilities. If I can't find a way to salvage those things and have to start over, I'm thinking a ChromeBox is the way to go.
See if one of your friends has the USB cable / power supply necessary to read a hard drive from another computer. This should allow you to remove your hard drive from your PC if you can't recover it and then connect it to another PC and read off the data.
If you save your data on Microsoft OneDrive, you should be able to access it through the cloud.

planting some Asian pear trees I grew from seed a couple of years ago, also three Turkey figs from cuttings, and relocating a couple of cedar seedlings to a more appropriate spot.
I was rooting around under the shed roof behind my studio looking for some cut off 2x6 s to repair corners on a raised bed when I heard a loud tap tap tap. I looked up and about 16 feet away I saw a great big Pieated Woodpecker working on my small retaining wall looking for grubs. I went hunting still and enjoyed the show for about 5-6 minutes. The Pieated was a male with a red streak under the hinge of it's bill and after a half a dozen taps he would squeak and keep on going. Finally he saddled up and flew off down a hollow towards some really big white pines. Got to go down there and see if we have a nesting pair. Last week I saw a red fox trotting by in the same place. The Pieated made my day. Rural Rules.

Heading in to the police station to pick up a few things that were recovered from the b&e two years ago since the trial has finally happened; he got 3 years as a repeat offender and apparently, driven by addiction, is resistant to learning.

They go hand in hand. There is no accountability because they know a plea deal will get them off. I blame it on judges. Most states have standardized punishments for most crimes. If judges wouldn’t sign off on plea deals that circumvent those standardized punishments these jackasses would be a little more timid about committing the crimes.

Took me two years to get 2 of my 4 stolen firearms back and as far as I know no trial was ever held, for a felon in possession.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Plea deals are what have destroyed the justice system.
Plus the lack of accountability.
MOW badge received.
Gallon of gas was 4.79 Sunday. 5.19 yesterday afternoon when I was headed home. 5.39 at 7:30 this morning.
