Sorry to hear that, Bob; hope it clears up ASAP. Rest, drink fluids, take a well-deserved break.
For laughs:

Two counties up here, including OURS, and two in Alaska, and half a dozen in Louisiana, the total representing a THIRD of all the counties so depicted in red. All swarming with neo-Nazi KKK white supremacist fascist Deplorables. Whole BASKETS of us!
Oh shit, wait a minute; our county’s numbers are probably thrown off by just ME! Kidding, just KIDDING!
Sunny w/blue skies and a nice breeze today for a change. I’m still gimping around but hope to get some answers Thursday afternoon.
And you think this is acceptable??!! You may rest assured that I shall write a firm letter to your manager.
91F and 73%RH, sunny and HOT.
More stuff to do.

So just how is that map supposed to be useful or informative. If you live in one of those 30 counties you can pat yourself on the back (or shudder with revulsion as you peer suspiciously at your neighbors) but it doesn’t really tell anything worthwhile.
I’d rather see the counties categorized into three or four buckets and then displayed on a multi-hued map. Dark red=80% or higher ownership, pink=60% or higher, piss yellow=under 40%. Or whatever buckets make for a good breakdown.
I looked at it and thought the Cajuns must be doing something right.
Hope you get better quickly Dr. Bob.
yep, weird lack of info on that map.
Heck, every single person I knew in IL had at least one gun…

What is the criteria for that map? How do they know? FFL records?
I just threw it up for laffs; no idea of how the data was arrived at and couldn’t really care less. The proof is in the pudding; one thing to have a house full of gubs, quite another how to use them, fix them, etc. Then of course there are guys like Fielding Melish or whichever character he was doing back then, carving them outta soap and coloring them with shoe p0lish, Like Dillinger or somebody did, I forget. Maybe those got counted here in Franklin County….
From BH (editor) in the Fort Bend Herald on Sept 18, 2017:
“Tell me again how a man having genital reassignment surgery, breast implants, lifelong hormone therapy, and a name change makes him a woman, but you don’t believe in genetically modified food because it is not natural.”

Yaaaas!
Must remember this to throw in Libturdian faces.
There was that 11-year-old boy who wanted to mow the White House lawn. Seems a questionable aspiration to me, but whatever. The thing is, libtards were screaming that 11-y-os are too young for such chores … but they’re old enough to decide they need a sex change.

That IS freaking hilarious.
And a great comment:
“I know 1 guy that is 49 and never voted before until Trump. When I asked him why he said “this is gonna be good. I gotta see what happens.””
“He is not disappointed.”
I’m sure that everyone saw this but, “Hackers hid malware in CCleaner software”

CCleaner is now off my office system. If they got them once, they will get them again.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.1 and was centered near the Puebla state town of Raboso.
My brother, who is summering in the mild mountain climate of Cholula near Puebla, just called to say he survived. He was at a stoplight when the quake hit and is now trying to get back to his apartment. He says electricty and water are out all over and many store fronts have collapsed into the road. He noted that college students were manning most intersections directing traffic. They jumped into help when police and emergency services are needed elsewhere. I can’t imagine American students doing this. He tells me he will evaluate the condition of his apartment but will likely have to relocate untill utilities can be restored. He has not witnessed any injuries but says the destruction must have caused many casualities. He was surprised that the cell sevice was still working and not overloaded. His daughter is still cleaning up in Houston after the flooding. Hurricanes & Earthquakes …. are we prepared?
CCleaner was my goto during Windows PC days. Sad to see it Trojan’d
Clean your computer? Like with a cloth or something?
Soap & water. You know, from the toilet.
Somebody at Piriform, or Avast!, was not happy with the recent buyout of Piriform by Avast!.
How the mighty have fallen.
Back in Las Vegas for 3 days and nights.
Surface Pro 3 died, as in would not respond to anything. Went to the Microsoft Store in Las Vegas and was told the battery died or a battery connection had failed. Not repairable. Could get a refurbished Surface 3 for $450 or a Surface 4 for about $550. I instead opted for the Surface Laptop. I used the Surface Pro with the keyboard connected 99.9999% of the time thus it seemed reasonable to get a real laptop. I liked the Surface Laptop, thin, light, high resolution screen. Same price as a new Surface Pro with the same specs.
Now I have to reinstall the software. Will need to call the vendors and convince them my machine died and I need to reinstall their software thus make my installation key active again. That is a pain in the butt.
Oh, and those damn resort fees charged in Vegas are simply annoying. Not disclosed in the room rate. Learned a lesson from the cable and cell phone industry. Room is $98 a night but resort fee is $49 a night. Another hotel may be $108 a night but resort fee is only $29 a night. Thus making it difficult to compare rates.

Saw a couple of, ahem, females, in the lobby that were real close to achieving that goal. Did not know you could put on makeup with a spatula, wear a dress so short that if you sneezed your hoo-hoo would show, and have that much cheap jewelry.

According to Jeff Foxworthy, hoo-hoos are on guys. Are these cross-dressers in the lobby ? Nasty !

Sounds more like a reason to never buy another Surface product.
Hope you kept the hardware, someone will offer battery replacement services….

Or do it yourself

Granted it has a “very difficult” rating, ifixurgadget or one of the other storefront franchises will do it, surely?

Batteries are batteries. Sometimes you get long service, sometimes you don’t. Most laptops today, especially ones that are exceptionally thin. Glue is used everywhere as fasteners would make the device thicker.

I would just as soon take the device to Microsoft Store and get a refurbished unit for $450.00 which would come with a 90 day warranty. I have almost no trust in third party parts replacement outfits based on experience from other people that I know. Generally the repair is not that good and the device quickly develops problems.

Those could have been guys. So I see no error in my statement.
Not everywhere. It’s not used as a sexual lubricant.
If you have information to the contrary, I do not want to meet the people you know.

San Francisco. Butt glue. ugh.
Well, shoot. Lady has lost another 2 lbs in the last 3 months. She is down to 28.5 lbs. My dog boost, Vienna sausages, is not working. 2 years ago she was 37 lbs and not very overweight.
Lady will be 15 on Dec 5. She is the biggest female cocker spaniel that I have ever seen. She is 3 inches taller than her mother and the same height as her dad. Her dad was very strong and could jump to the height of the breeders 3 ft chain link fence. In fact, her dad was the biggest cocker spaniel that I had ever seen. They are the British variety which is bigger with a longer muzzle than the american variety.
When they trimmed her coat, they found that one of her skin tags on her ear had gotten infected and ripped. So the vet cleaned that up and gave her an antibiotic shot with more pills to take. I hope that did not kill her appetite. Her hips are just skin and bone now.
That is not good news for lady, hopefully she’ll recover her appetite.
I’ve been pouring bacon grease on my little guy’s kibble. He’s very sleek but still a bit underweight from before the flea infestation. Tonight he got lamb juice, some fat, and the kibble. It VANISHED from the bowl.

These hotels in Las Vegas are HUGE. I had forgotten how big. Walking through the MGM Grand to get to the theater for KA was and adventure in maze navigation. Currently staying in the Luxor which is a bigger maze, especially from the parking lot. Lot of smoke in the casino portion and thus not so pleasant to walk through. It is impressive to see the number of machines and the lights. Graphics and the use of the lights to attract attention is impressive. Electrical bill must be substantial.
Went to see KA tonight, something I have wanted to do since my friend (the one that passed away) recommended the show. Impressive use of a moving stage and some impressive athletes and performances. Show did not make a lot of sense as there were no spoken words. Just watching the acrobatics was enough. Excellent show. Perhaps not worth the $255.00 I paid for tickets. Good seats though. Figured what the hell, will not do it again, once in a lifetime event, so go for it. Besides most good shows are quite expensive in Vegas.
Dude, bacon grease on kibble sounds good to me !
Vegas is a sieve, designed to strain out money, and the holes get smaller every year.
The big shows are just one way of straining some of the money into their pockets. The shopping and other “experiences” are another.
I think any show by Circ du Soleil is pretty extraordinary. They typically have a dozen or more olympic medalists in any show, and the rest of the performers are world class. The storylines are typically very thin, you aren’t meant to think too much, just marvel.
They lead the entertainment world in developing new and massive tech….

Yeah, Chuck, my golden isn’t interested in breakfast this morning. Usually just dry kibble in the mornings. I’ll cook up some rice and add cottage cheese and some chicken. Bacon grease would probably be good but I’m not cooking it just to get that.
I used to go to Vegas every year for Comdex till we moved abroad in th elate 90’s. It was a diferent world then. IN the late 80’s I did a gig in Reno, setting up warehouse automation. They put me up at Harra’s and we usuly worked till the wee hours at the warehouses in Sparks NV. When we got back to the casino, only the coffe shop was open for us to grab a late late supper. We usually arrived the same time as the show girls from the last show. I was surprised how “normal” they looked without the tight costumes and heavy makeup. You wouldn’t give them a second look out of costume.
That statement makes no sense. You seem to be saying you need a reason to cook bacon.
I also need bacon. None in the house. FAIL!
