Congrats on retirement, Boxter. Enjoy!

Congrats on the new position, Pants. You can carpool down to Ames with Boxter to enjoy more Cyclone events in person.

Congrats on becoming my favorite poster, BC. Always nice to be tbought younger than you really are. ;)
 
Windows fogged over while driving tonight, that was a wild ride. Had to pull over after 10 miles and scrub the windows while the air blasted inside. Stopped the growth and after 8 more miles of driving it finally cleared off.

One guy at the gas station where I scrubbed my windshield was washing his Windows over and over. Not like introducing more moisture to a nasty situation.

Whatevs Birdy! Not only am I the only one that noticed your fly by post, but also thought you were my age (33)!
 
Took the plunge and ordered a new laptop.

Windows 10. Yet another flaky MS change to master. Old dog and tricks, etc. And transferring my Norton subscription to the new computer. Etc.

Really just got a bit more concerned about the old HP. Another chunk of plastic broke off by the vice grips. I'm getting concerned now about the possibility of metal to live power contact. And it's more cumbersome with the larger and heavier vice grips on there. It's where the fan exhausts. I really think the continuous heat has fatigued the plastic at the hinge causing the failure.

It will be a weird feeling to once again actually be able to CLOSE my laptop. I still remember the drive back from FL with it wedged just so in the back seat so it wouldn't close on the trip.

Should be here in 5-8 Amazon free shipping days!
 
So Birdy did you send all the girls to camp? Is that how you get the time to post?

I wish, I can only get rid of them one at a time to Grandma Camp (and only if they are over the age of 10). Aside from an All Star showcase Sat, softball is done. That is how I have time. This is the first week since sometime mid-December where we have not had evening activities/practices for some sport. About a month reprieve before we ramp up again.

And, yes, I am.

Doesn't show up well but thought I needed to prove it was pink shirt day. Last day working with lawyer buddy Steve (in chair).
