Might be a bit cooler if the rain and overcast come. Still probably gonna be humid though. It was hot and enervating yesterday. Low to mid 90s in the afternoon.
Yesterday I didnt really get much of my list done. I was really tired. Sunday working outdoors in the sun must have taken more out of me than I thought. My hands are swollen, stiff, and sore. And my sides, wrapping part way around my back are sore too. Dunno what I did to make that part of me sore.
Did some stuff, but not much, then spent the late afternoon messing with possum and kids.
Today I’m headed to my client’s house to swap him fully to the xfinity fiber. Turns out his locked in contract with ATT has expired, so we can just change over. Competition is going to save him thousands of dollars a year and provide better speeds. I’m interested to see if the follow up crew has buried the fiber…I’m betting no.
WRT preps I won another 4 100W solar panels. Time to get serious about putting a system together, at least as a test bed.
Time to learn something new. Which is a good thing. But I have to fit it into all the other stuff too.
Learning, growing, practicing, and stacking… some full days ahead.

No luck at my hunting last night, but the worst outing to the woods is still better than the best day in the office!
I did have an interesting encounter with a tawny owl, though. It seemed to think I was sitting on its seat (makes sense that owls would use it too, I had a good view…), and installed itself on a branch only a few feet away to examine me.
It eventually seemed to have decided I wasn’t leaving, so it flew off about its owly business, or to Hogwarts. It was my first time seeing a wild owl up close for more than a second or two, so I was delighted with my evening out!
’76F and the sun is out. Morning!
Coffee so good…
The two cheapest coffee beans at Costco are the Kirkland Columbian Supremo and the French roast. Both are under $5/pound. Both are pretty tasty and more than tasty for the money. I like dark and strong coffee so I like the French Roast slightly more, but the Colombian is good too.
I guess it’s time to start my day.

The US weapons require significant training to be used effectively in combat.
NATO troops would have to man the weaponry given the time frame.
The alternatives are worse. German missiles in Kiev? Do you even want to go there?
Big Smile!
Even the Deep State freak show commands now realize Ukraine is a lost cause. Something happened in the US military command structure this weekend, but we’ll probably never know what exactly.
The brass at Mac Dill, for instance, love their on-base golf, steaks at Bern’s, and attention from the Muslim hotties in the community “friendship” society.
A nuclear war would put a crimp in those off hours activities.

“It’s not just Springfield, Haitians being flown to small towns nationwide”
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/its-not-just-springfield-haitians-being-flown-small-towns-nationwide
“(The Center Square) –
Haitians are not just arriving in Springfield, Ohio, but also in small rural towns nationwide as a result of several Biden-Harris administration policies.”
“Since fiscal 2021, more than 485,000 Haitian illegal border crossers, a record, have been reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The overwhelming majority were reported this fiscal year, nearly 216,000, compared to 48,727 in fiscal 2021.”
“Since fiscal 2021 through August, the majority have been apprehended at the southwest border of nearly 262,000, followed by nearly 221,000 nationwide and nearly 2,300 at the northern border, according to the data.”
“Additionally, since July, 205,000 Haitians have been released through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. Of the more than 765,000 illegal foreign nationals released into the country through the CBP One app, the top nationality is Haitian. Through these programs, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also extended Temporary Permanent Status to them and granted work authorization.”
What in the world ?
We are being replaced.
Just wait until Kamala becomes prez, the replacement will be accelerated.
I need to sharpen my landscaping skills for the Big Replacementtm.
Fan’sGambler’s blaming the QB, as if the coach didn’t tell him what to do…I was actually a bit surprised that they left Mahomes in for that. Why not give a backup QB a little bit of time on field?
To take a knee?
The game was still too close to risk a botched snap.
Plus “Rah” has a very hot seat in Atlanta for a new coach. Andy Reid did him a favor not sending in the backup.
Prediction: “Rah” will be gone by December.
Pull the text and call logs of everyone involved. Find the ‘nudge’ from the bookies. Lock them up.

Mahomes contract is for almost a quarter billion dollars for 4 years. That means he’s worth some multiple of that to the bottom line, for the team and the owner.
If you can’t pull him out of harms way because your backup can’t be trusted to take a simple snap and a knee … you need a new backup QB.
Even if there is some influence of the unregulated gambling market on the owner and the coach it seems unlikely that KC would risk an asset like Mahomes in an early season game because of the line on some statistic. There are a lot of games to go yet in the season, a lot of lines in Vegas…
Andy Reid?
Andy Reid don‘t surf.
You learn something new every day.
For example, ants are attracted to hairballs.
I’m setting up my Pro Max 16 ticket to Elysium. So far, easy. I chose to transfer data from the old phone in case iCloud was wonky. It arrived last Friday in SA, but I was still in Vegas moving the condo to the new house.
Apple should have had a virtual AI Steve Jobs greet you when you turned on the 16.
Question for the Hive: do you run your smarty-pants phone without a case? I got the Apple clear case for now.
I just got a phone call on the new phone. I let it go to VM and got a live text translation of the VM on the screen. Pretty cool.
No. Otterbox Symmetry series is the minimum I would go with an iPhone.
And I have an SE cheapskate model.
i should be flogged. I should be purged.
And so the text of all your calls is captured and used to train an AI, and will eventually be leaked to hackers and .gov without your permission or a subpoena.
Not that Android is any better. Just moments ago, I activated my new Android and copied everything from my old android of a different vendor.
My old smartphone had gotten so out of date that it wouldn’t update Zelle and it wouldn’t let me run the old version.
I normally go caseless, but the old phone lived in a cheap simple case for years.
And the banksters who own Zelle would never data mine the ”free” transfers and sell the information.
Hearing aids getting better and better. I have a pair each from two different companies to compare now. Both really good. One allows me to do more customization, and the people are local and nice. The other is handled remotely, and I have less control through the app, but is $3k cheaper. Swiss prices: $7k vs. $4k.
I really need to decide by next week…
No Elysium for you! The Apple clear case looks just like the OtterBox one.
I’m going with a case for now. That iPhone is as slippery as one of Mr. Ray’s farts. I already almost dropped it, so I put the case on.
There will be no cost in the FUSA once the Kamel Humper goes full commie. You’ll just have to dig ditches/peel potatoes on the weekends for 28 years.
I am under no illusions that I have privacy. Especially around my bank transactions, but the fact I use Google for, well, anything leads me believe every aspect of my life is directly and immediately available to the highest bidder. Free to .gov, no warrant required.
That includes connecting my nom-de-internet with my real identity. I just keep it to avoid casual doxxing and because I’ve used it for something like 25 years now. I’m already on all the lists in my real name, since I’ve bought firearms,have a ham license, donated to a politician, voted, worked for a living, … You know, white racist Christian nationalist stuff like that.
FWIW, I only use Zelle to collect “monthly” payments on one old debt at present, because that’s the way the payer wants it.
Otter Box is higher quality Chinesium usually.
I’ve never lost a phone in a Symmetry. I usually buy two, one as a backup.
>>If you can’t pull him out of harms way because your backup can’t be trusted to take a simple snap and a knee … you need a new backup QB.
Not even enough top talent QBs to go around. Besides, not sure you could find a team willing to pay Mahomes money for their backup QB.
because that’s the way the payer wants it
– one of the basic rules of business, and yet far too often forgotten, “Make it easy for your customers to pay you.”

“”The city of Chicago is going to go up in flames””
https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-city-of-chicago-is-going-to-go-up.html

Oh my.
Currently at Fall Creek Falls State Park. Arrived Monday and will leave on Friday. Supposed to rain most of the day tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Bummer. You get what you get when you have to make reservations three months in advance. Packing up on Friday in the rain will not be fun.
Went to a Mennonite Farmer’s Market and picked up a few items. They had really large Mums, twice the size of the ones at Home Depot for $10.00. We had to get at least one. We picked up some vegetables and some salsa that looked to be home made.
The site we are at has water, power and electricity. The RV requires 30 ampere connection. When running the A/C, the water heater and refrigerator we are drawing about 28 amperes. The breaker at the pedestal tripped three times. So I got the 50 to 30 adapter and hooked to the 50 ampere breaker. No more problems. I am not concerned as the RV has a 30 ampere main breaker in the electrical panel. I think the breaker at the pedestal is weak.
We did some bicycle riding around the park. The main path to the falls has a lot of downed trees. A few years ago a tornado went through and took down a lot of trees. The path to the falls is not really usable for bicycles as steps are now required. Except for clearing roads, campsites and trails, the park leaves the trees where they fell so a lot of the destruction is still visible.
Carson Wentz is more valuable to Andy Reid as an unknown quantity as the season goes on and injuries start.
Wentz is on a year contract for his fourth team in as many years. Why put him in to possibly botch a snap and ruin his trade value.
Everyone on the field understood the game was over. Mahomes getting injured in a player stunt would have been the end of “Rah’s” career, regardless of outcome of the season.
”Rah” was a failure in Tampa because he lost control of the players Gruden recruited. This is his last chance as a head coach.
Well. Successfully transitioned my client to xfinity. Getting the full 500Mbps up and down at the ubiquiti Security Gateway. They still haven’t buried the fiber.
Got ddns set up and working since xfinity doesn’t have a fixed IP.
edited my VPN so it works with the NOIP ddns service. I used to only have 5 aliases with NOIP, now I have 25… who knew?
Setup an Admin account for my business partner on the client’s ubiquiti management console and got the new ddns info to him. Now I have a ‘hit by a bus’ backup.
Checked that the cams are working remotely.
Now I just have to update the drawings and find my label printer and update some cable labels…. but that will be next visit.

“i should be flogged. I should be purged.”
How about we flog and keelhaul a deepfake with your head on Jack Reacher’s body?
You get rescued by a mermaid with superpowers, have your DNA reprogrammed, and come back for revenge.
Nah, let’s go with something even more fantastic, we’ll convince a worldwide terrorist organization to give up their smartphones, replace them with 80s tech pagers, but we’ll install explosives in the pagers and in one swift blow, we’ll both expose their whole command and control structure, AND kill or maim them…
And then, when the leadership meets in person, because their whole C2 network is fubared, we’ll missile them to decapitate what’s left…
– – no, no one would ever believe that, let’s greenlight the mermaid thing…

“A federal judge has ruled that it would be unconstitutional for an Indiana prison to deny an inmate a sex reassignment surgery following the inmate’s lawsuit against the facility.”
No. This is the mark of an insane society.
The flogged/purged line is a reference.
I got the order wrong again.

There are four graphs in this article:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/09/washington-post-accidentally-admits-earth-at-coolest-point-in-the-last-485-million-years/
The third graph just shortens the timeline for geologic temperature history from 485 to 225 million years.
The fourth graph show CO2 over geologic time.
Together they destroy the global warming zealots claims. Add the analysis in the article linked, and it makes the case that we are being played for other reasons.
As I have said before, I believe that the primary reason is to destroy Western Civilization in general and the United States in particular.
