Monday. Time for more coffee. Coffee good. Monday bad.
I'm sorry to hear that! :-(
I hope you can get things settled quickly!
DAD!!!!!
Non-complaint: all my Walmart deliveries showed up today - a week early! Woot!
Tri-color quinoa, a nice electric shaver for travel, and an over-the-door set of hooks so I can hang my Swiffer gear in the hall closet!
Up next month: battery operated hand vac, better rice cooker/steamer, and a new cheap bed. :-|
..maybe Aiko 6 Pro bundle, too. Not sure. Still climbing the DS (re)learning curve.
...ow, hope you can get some treatment for it. I have allergies, but fortunately not as severe though the smoky skies we've been experiencing the last 5 days have made my eyes feel about the same.
I would say that 2020 so far has sucked rocks, possibly even small to medium sized planetoids.
Well, perhaps 2020 is actually sucking small planetoids, but they just haven't gotten here yet.

poor pluto demoted
i grew up in a solar system wit 9 planets.
complqint no mini mallows for hot cocoa.
.,.well a bit of improvement today. Though the smoke was still pretty thick at ground level, it it wasn't as "deep" so no orange/sepia tint to the sky anymore and the sun was actually quite visible. I even saw the first faint shadows for the first time six days. . The pics below were taken with the skylight filter still attached to the phone but are a lot lighter than the past ones I took. Compare the one of the church & sun I took today to the one from yesterday.
Complaint: Farging Radio Shack bastages... The somanumbatches had to go out of business, didn't they.
It really sucks to have to wait for electronic bits to come in the mail... I decided add more ethernet outlets to my house because now with my wife using Zoom meetings for work and the kids using it for school, the WiFi just doesn't cut it though these 100 year old lathe and plaster walls, so I'm redoing the older Cat 5 with Cat 6 and adding several new lines to rooms that are impervious to WiFi signals.
I hate terminating ethernet cable it's so slow and fiddlie without a good connector... I had a bunch of two piece Cat 6 connectors which had a little plastic harness that you could stick the wires into in their proper order (I think the part is called a load bar or sled), it makes assembling the connectors a helluva lot easier and quicker... I got them at Radio Shack a year or two before the bastages went out of business... and of course I can only find two now, even though there should be like fifty of them left somewhere... they'll never be found so I'm resigned to having to buy them again... of course Lowes and Home Despot only have crappy Ideal connectors which are one piece units, so I'll have to order them from Carpazon or somewhere... ugh!
Well, I gotta go drill holes in stuff, crawl through tiny spaces inhabited by stabby gnomes and curse in various languages which I've retained for some reason...
Farging Radio Shack!
Whata bout powerline networking?
I wonder how Radio Shack would have fared if they'd stayed in their lane and not turned into just another cell phone store. Radio Shack was just about the only physical store I've seen where you can find some of the stuff they have, whereas you can get a cell phone anywhere. Would they have stuck around as a niche hobbyist shop? Or would they just have folded earlier?
i remember wandering the isles of compUSA, shiny
overslept a bit. woke up at the crack of 1400. missed my afternoon nap. had a weirddd dream i was carrying a baby deer into work. they were all yelling at me cuz the bambi was gonna pee on the carpet. one of my book characteres was in my dream, he was dissolving all the barbed wire fences so the deer could roam the earth freely
the election ads on utoob makin me wana barf.
...+1
..yeah, I remember when Radio Shack was all about amateur radio (Ham and CB) and hobbyist electronics. Used to go there a lot for electronics components like capacitors, resistors, transistors, vacuum tubes, solder, etc. .
We had a company called Maplin that stayed concentrated largely on components (did do other stuff, but not predominantly). Note the past tense.
In Melbourne, Florida there was (and perhaps still is) an independent electronic supply store "at the railroad tracks on Babcock St." as the radio ad would say. Wonderful place. They sold high end HiFi gear in the small showroom, but mostly the place was in the back with rows and rows of densely packed shelving with every conceivable electronic bits & pieces. One guy owned it but would sometimes have his son in the shop or hire some kid from my engineering college to man the counter while the owner worked on the interesting stuff, like gathering parts for ham radio antennas, fixing tape recorders & amplifiers, etc. Last time I was there (at least 5 years ago), the place was still there. The old man was gone but I think his kid runs the place now. Still a one man operation but with old-time service. I went in looking for a weird plug I had. He went into the back for a while but came back with the exact plug, and soldered it onto the cable for me. Cool! The stereo listening room still has many of the original pieces of gear that were there 45 years ago when I was in college. And the racks of individually packaged electronic bits hanging on hooks on the customer side of the counter, next to the windows that were always exposed to the afternoon Florida sun, are decades old too. Many of the plastic bags are yellowed and disintegrate when you grab them. Poof, powder!
I don't think they ever made much money from the stereo gear or pre-packaged parts, but they were a wealth of knowlege about electronic repair and assembly and individualized service.
Ah ha! It appears to still be there. Found a recent GoogleEarth image of Tedco "at the railroad tracks on Babcock St."
...cool.
When I was in high school (a long time ago in a previous millennium), in the Colonial Town area in Orlando, FL., there was Radio Shack, an Allied Electonics, and a Lafayette Electronics, plus the huge Colonial Photo and Hobby. If you needed any components, this was like heaven. We also had Skycraft Parts and Surplus, which carried an amazing array of stuff from the Aerospace industry, as well as military and industrial surplus. Gradually these disappeared. Lafayette closed, and Allied and Radio Shack merged, and are now gone. Colonial Photo and hobby is a shadow of its former self. But Skycraft is still there, this its light-up flying saucer on the sign. Buying from NewEgg or whoever just ain't the same.
Skycraft? Wasn't that the place up in WinterPark north of Orlando. The place that had a big 3D flying saucer on it's elevated sign above the parking lot? That place was full of amazing military and space center surplus gear. It's the type of place that makes you realize how little you know about electronics.
Seems their only website is a Facebook page.

Still there. https://skycraftsurplus.com/

Colonial Photo and Hobby was still there before Covid. I was in there. Not sure if it's still there.
Yes, Skycraft I believe is still there too, but I don't know the impact of Covid.
A Google Search indicates that they were planning to move in April/May.
When I was a kid up north, my dad bought all his radio tubes from Lafayette.
Piffle. That is all.
ouchh lol
has it been around since the roman days?
someone slipped him decaf?
cute perspctive 1
made the mistake of listening to old Dio. tiger does not rhyme with diver. was a scam and he got away wiith it lol
'stop the nsanity' and 'wheres the beef'.
that phoebe cates thing was prolly a scam too, prolly a body double.

...party on!
