Mexican for supper?

Trampoline came apart. Doesn't look to be damaged thankfully. I took off the jumping surface a week ago so it is just the metal frame. It is well anchored so it didn't move.

Those basically are just pulled together by the mat. So shouldn’t be an issue.

There are a lot of commercials for meds that cure things that I didn’t even know were an issue.

Waiting for the next snow that's snowman buildable. Totally want to do this.

Sounds a little noisy outside.

Mexican for supper?

Actually, yes...but that hasn't kicked in yet.

This is crazy strong. Wonder how many roofs and such will be gone tomorrow when I drive up.

Well we got just about everything: fog (yes, I am not using my usual dad "froggy"), huge melting, thunderstorms, rain, snow, heavy winds, tornado warnings. I can't speak to whether we got sleet, hail or graupel. I also don't know if we set records for December high temp, low barometric pressure, etc. as expected. We did go from 50s last night when I went to bed to 20s this morning.

Wind is picking up pretty good here. I imagine this thin line is what everyone is freaking out about.

If I saw that I would be more worried about the rest of the velociraptor that was coming behind it.

Anyone else getting these in their emails? We've received two in the last week. One from "Raphaelt Chauvink", and the other from "Teessfay Neetfrren". I am NOT making these names up! Their email addies are gmail accounts. Really really BAD fakes. The only problem is, each comes with an attachment (which I did NOT click...I'm not stupid). Unfortunately, many people ARE. If the attachment doesn't work, they hook people by telling them they can cancel the charge by calling a helpline number - and then giving them all their card information so that the charge can be cancelled. Yikes!

Funny thing is, we will NEVER AGAIN have Norton. We had it way back in the early days when our boys were in high school and we all shared one computer at home. They were completely oblivious to using caution on downloads, and we ended up with the Monkey virus...no orangutan jokes please, it was a BAD virus! Cost us bucks (that we really didn't have back then) and time to get it removed & get our computer back up and running. Changed virus protection software at the same time.

I just got this in my email. I can't imagine what virus would infect my phone if I scanned the QR Code

It's for protection. Imagine what you'll get if you don't scan it.

What about the green stuff?

That's all natural. Like lime kool-aid.

WOOT!!!

I have just been informed by my son that I have not, in fact, been WHAMageddoned. It was a cover version (all instrumental) that I heard at the Creighton game, not the original.

I'm still in!!!

You know someone is going to pull some Wham Rick Roll type thing on you now, right? It is only a matter of time...

I'm pretty sure @Cyclones_R_GR8 has a company phone. Back up the personal data and go for it. You're retiring anyway.

I do have an old company iPhone SE. The thing has been sitting, unused and plugged in for a couple of years. I noticed the battery is swelling up. I should just turn it in.

RIP

Oops, I read that as "I should just turn it on." I pictured you going up in a fiery blaze of glory.
