Lightning port on my iPhone appears to be broken. Looks like I will be moving back to my old Android.

But does he have a perm? Is he drinking Jack Daniels from the bottle?
BC's a better man than me. I was not drinking Jack Daniels from the bottle as a freshman. Also, I was never man enough to get a perm but I did let my sister curl the back part of my hair a couple times in high school. Never in college. My hair was too short.

Do you carry it in your pocket? I thought mine was broken but it turns out the port was just full of pocket lint.

So that was my assumption so I tried to clean it out last night and I think in the process of doing that broke the port. It would at least kind of engage the charger before but not at all now. I also believe this is why my speakerphone sucks sound wise because it is gunked up with stuff

I tried cleaning mine with canned air. It didn't work. I brought mine to the IS people and they said, "Don't watch this" and cleaned it with a paper clip. That worked.

all right Minny peeps - looks like a visit is happening. Either the last week of Sept or third weekend of Oct. Middle two out because BIL/SIL are traveling. I'm like dang, best fall color weekends knocked out. My guess is the end of Sept is probably better weather wise and maybe you guys have some color by then being up in the tundra and all.

Think the idea is we'll drive up at bedtime. Not sure about the way back. I'm thinking maybe split it into a day trip and drive some AM, then stop somewhere to do a hike or explore or something and then try to get the rest during naptime. IDK, this hopefully won't be a disaster.

That's what I have been doing. I have gotten some out but it is still not working. Thankfully found a local shop that will fix it for a very reasonable price

Z had 2-3 hours at her new school yesterday. She was very excited. I hope she is still excited after the longer day today.

She'll be pumped.
Former student was there at our place in line and walked her in. Z has a friendly contact already.

And goodness, people, driving out of a school parking lot in the first couple days doesn't have to be an adventure. Do the basic stuff and we can all get out in one or two pieces.

Are the eggs frozen? Think I saw them last year and steered clear of them.
We get them every year we are there and Mrs. Velo's family has gotten them even longer. I don't know how long they have been giving them away but I'm pretty sure it has been longer than 20 years. They are always quite cold and I have never heard of them having a problem with food safety. They have the system down to a science.

Won the crap shoot that is ordering cheap clothing on Amazon. The known brand athletic or biking gear is super spendy and half the time it's just cheap Asian made crap anyway. My crappiest jersey is a USA made Canari with fabric so bad I'd swear it snags on tree pollen. Option is to roll with some cheaper off brand stuff. Reviews can be all over the place for the same product with "great", "fell apart after second ride", "cheap thin materiel", "high quality material", "runs way small" to "runs way large" all included under the product. So rolled on a long sleeve jersey for $20. Material is nice **** and guessed right on the size. Winning.
