BM> Good Grief! Only 8 a.m. and already 81° out there!!
Didn't bode well for the rest of the day...!
BM>>> It's officially 83° outside currently and the neighbour a few houses
BM>>> down is having their roof replaced. Yesterday two neighbours the
BM>>> block behind us were having their roofs replaced. ...May not be the
BM>>> high but did get to at least 82° yesterday. Today supposed to get to
BM>>> 90°.
NB>>> I guess one shouldn't be too unhappy about the heat... it is summer
NB>>> now, after all...
BM>> Right. This morning was a we-should-open-the-windows-for-a-while 68°.
BM>> Quickly decided against that by looking at the next line: 94%
BM>> humidity! Supposed to be in the low 90's later today (Saturday, June
BM>> 27) and the next several days.
NB>> Yeah, that humidity would be a killer.... Meanwhile, we enter a heat
NB>> advisary tomorrow (Tues 7th) afternoon, until Friday (10th) evening at
NB>> 8... Temps in the mid to high 90s, heat indices possible over 100°....
NB>> not my idea of fun... Night lows only getting into the lower 70s,
NB>> too... Fortunately, there's nothing scheduled this week for going out
NB>> until Saturday, when the high is "only" in the mid 80s.....
BM> Ahhhh!! Coooollllllll!!! As I said in an earlier message we've got
BM> the hot'n'humid currently and should break on Thursday and last the
BM> weekend. Then there's next week....
This whole month has been mostly heat advisories with a few breaks with
highs only in the mid-80s... not been functioning all that well, as you
may have noticed from my erratic messagings....
BM>> Looks to have! I had a problem with one of my REP sets but I think it
BM>> was a 'bad finger routine' on my end: didn't give the right commands
BM>> as I'm not used to doing an upload and then download together -- had
BM>> finished the day previous' packet that morning, so upload then
BM>> download. I don't see the confirmation listing during the upload as the
BM>> machine goes on to the next step too quickly -- have to scroll back but
BM>> had done the download so the scroll buffer didn't have the REP portion
BM>> any longer. Something just didn't seem quite right so kept the old
BM>> REPs, added a 'may be a duplicate' and re-inserted them later.
NB>> And, if I recall correctly, that set turned out NOT to be
NB>> duplicated...
BM> Right -- not sure what went wrong here, just some step didn't get done
BM> and since didn't feel right redid.
Generally good to trust your gut... especially if no easy way to verify
one way or the other.... ;)
BM>> Yes, and maybe that REP episode above is another example. I don't
BM>> recall seeing anything but it didn't seem right. Or the Data LED
BM>> being off on the fiber optic modem -- the tech didn't seem to mind and
BM>> one interpretation of the manual's statement would seem to make it OK,
BM>> but....
NB>> Never hurts to pay attention when your mind is trying to tell you
NB>> something isn't quite right... ;)
BM> Yes. Since i was the one who unplugged the cable years ago maybe I
BM> remembered, just not actively. And another part of figuring out the puzzle
BM> was how to test the cable -- 'laptop' seems obvious but that obviousness
BM> got covered up slightly as usually I use wirelessly. All turned out well.
BM> :)
And as they say, all's well that ends well... ;)
BM>>> Yes, and the plan could be to open and some event occur effecting
BM>>> last-minute changes. ...At this point I'd be thinking "it's back to
BM>>> school" but also make considerations for home-schooling.
NB>>> One thing we've all learned... be ready with contingency plans... ;)
BM>> Definitely! There have been announcements on this week's news of
BM>> various school districts on both sides of the River having meetings/
BM>> virtual meetings to discuss various options, what worked, what didn't,
BM>> what sort of did and so needs tweaking.
NB>> Good that they seem to be on top of things... :)
BM> Yes. I haven't been paying attention enough to know what the progress
BM> is.
After all, at the moment, you have no real need to pay attention... :)
