Well a busy week aside of picking up the dog.

Monday fishing with my pal in his eighties on Scotlands best fishery. I drove and he taught me. And boy did he … in 6 hours I caught 5 fish but hooked and played another 7 which I lost. He landed 23! In US terms …he whipped my young ass LoL

Wednesday I helped teach children with educational difficulties. They were pretty seriously disabled with a variety of conditions. Anyway we got them all to catch a trout each and take them home for tea. The excitement when they hooked and tried to land a lively trout was infectious. I will be doing it again next Wednesday with a different group.

Then it’s usual chores and community work!

Just checking in briefly - not caught up today.
Migraine day today - possibly rain storm induced.
being a Human Barometer
TGIF tomorrow...
Be well and I'll check in tomorrow

Better today but still a touch of headache left, but not as much "migraine brain" as usual (at least I don't think so???)

Headed to lunch now - will lie down for an hour and hope that helps, too. We have 2 staff out this afternoon or I would have considered taking the afternoon off myself.

Thankfully I have a few "light tasks" I can work on for the rest of the day.

I'll be back again once this clears up enough for recreational screen time.

That’s right up my alley!

wOOt!

I think that's a different thread altogether

I think it’s in the fetish and sexuality forum. Maybe the bdsm forum?

Hope you’re back in action and feeling better soon.

You are quite the good citizen and an awesome human being.

Helping out the elderly and those in need. You are an inspiration to us all!

And you dogs and new pup!!!

@nipplecaresser great new avatar!

G’night all.

Watched The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!

Great classic comedy. Might be an interesting remake.

Which one, with Alan Arkin or with Harry Reems?

 

[Wonderer67]

Yes.

 

[Wonderer67]

The Alan Arkin version. Hadn’t seen it in years, but that kind of great comedy is fucking fabulous.

It’s a mad, mad, mad bad mad mad world

Doctor Strangelove

The early pink Panther movies….

Crab apple

I had one in my front yard when I lived in PA. Beautiful when they bloom.

 

[subdudeme13]

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking crab apple.

You could be right.

I used to help my brother with his TV business. We delivered for a few stores (K Mart etc. back then) and set up the TV's. Those old consoles took both of us. Now, years latter I just picked up and set up a 60" by myself. It weighed about what a 19" used to weigh.

Prolly not tho!

Long day. Mom still isn't home from the hospital and I had anxiety about going back to work today. It seemed she would only eat if I fed it to her so I ... Blah.

Anyway, long day.

@nipplecaresser
Really like the new avatar. Good deal!

@subdudeme13
I remember securing those giant TVs to the wall using straps thru the vent slots. Now, with the slim ones, it seems you could just use a thumbtack and some yarn.

Def not an electrician. Like definitely…

But multiple outlets not working. I’m thinking check the breaker panel. Sounds like something tripped.

I’ve had GFIs, impact a whole line in our kitchen, like five outlets… reset and all good.

Hope it’s something minor.

So…panel is fine…nothing tripped so I know it’s downstream somewhere. So after we left after supper, momma says all the lights were working again? So either I fiddled with something and it “fixed” it or there’s definitely a short. So I told her, don’t touch anything till we get the electrician over. No GFI’s either but one plug should be a GFI…

Occasionally, this circuit breaker doesn't fully trip. It might mean the circuit breaker is faulty or something was plugged in. They tripped it, but sometimes they'll only move a 10th of an inch and you resetting it. I've probably fixed it temporarily, but it may go off again

Agree with oldermom. My hunch is that a tripped, but didn’t go all the way over and then when you checked the panel it “fixed” it.

But then again, I am not an electrician.*

Whenever we trip a breaker, I actually shut them all off and put them in the online position again.

* do not try this madman’s advice at home
