Finally, I read a long time ago, keep a good supply of beer on hand.   In an emergency, it could be used as something to barter with. :D

Hmmmmmmm. As a home brewer with lots of ingredients, as long as I have access to water I

If all I bought at Costco were their rotisserie chickens it would still be worth the annual membership.

Yet another experience - The uncle of a guy I work with has refused to get vaccinated. His choice is not driven by the typical reasons we currently hear about. I'm not sure what he suffers from, only that he has some sort of a mental health condition. About 20 years ago he lost his sense of taste and smell, and his doctors can't explain the reason why. A couple of weeks ago he tested positive for Covid and ended up in the hospital for a week or so, but is home now. Thankfully he never reached the point of needing to be put on a ventilator. The really weird part of all this is that while in the hospital with Covid he regained his sense of smell and taste. Quite strange.

Great pics Moose. We used to vacation at the OBX back when our kids were....kids. We always stayed up in Corolla when it was just being developed. Haven't been there in years but I imagine that area is now quite over-developed. It was very quiet back in the day. Wild horses, uncrowded beaches, lots of memories.

I'm a few episodes in to The Chestnut Man (Danish: Kastanjemanden), on Netflix. It's from the book by the same name, written by S

Glad to see one of my favorite movies, Rio Bravo, make the list, even if at only 16.

squib: It's less than a half-hour from my house.  I'm sure Len also has encountered that town, inasmuch as I know he and his wife have been a few times to mid-state PA and Lancaster County in particular.  Bob

I was close to Intercourse once, and I couldn't stop there.

I remember years ago a friend of mine carried a Turtle Club card in his wallet which had several "suggestive" questions with the answers on it. This was one of them.

Great post Len, I really enjoyed reading it even though I don't recall ever owning a Spaldeen. I remember using baseball's, whiffle balls, rubber balls, and even Superballs when they were a thing. Fun times, simpler times.

Generally don't watch much TV during the summer months. However we did watch the first few episodes of The Kominsky Method (Netflix), while visiting some friends recently. My wife and I both enjoyed it, so we'll likely pick it back up once the days get shorter.

Maybe Jolly had been curious as to what happens, if he calls. I actually curious what was the code, that they wanted him to run. The "Windows-Key + R" will run the command, scripts, etc., at the logged in user account's access level. Since most of the people log in as administrators at home, even if the actual name of the account is Jolly for example, it's rather easy to gain remote access to the system. This type of scam counts on the administrator account, without it, the script will fail.

Well, there are ways to gain administrator access from the standard user account, but that's too long of a script to type in. Albeit they could give you a link to the script to run...

I'll stop here, before start to list all of the possibilities....  :confused: :laugh:

Hey hey easy there. I come here during work to get away from the I/T issues I deal with all day. Now I almost feel as if I should be getting paid to read this.  ;)
