    I do not want to get off the computer right now, but I need to get my pjs on and go to bed.  I do have work tomorrow.

    The original thumb drive, from 1974: bottom right corner.

    In other news, the hurricane has passed, with lots of rain and high winds. I've been getting some roofing done, and the only thing that happened was that a plastic tarp covering one section blew off. But no leaks!
    The roofer will be back tomorrow. I got lucky.
    Now to store the generator, and pack the propane stove back up. Power never went out, and my solar panels appear to be undamaged.

    Is there a free version of sketchbook pro?

    Morning. A Springy-ish luminous yellow sun and looming dark  thunderheads might mash up to a rainbow or two before lunch with a little luck :)

    Free trials I think, you pay to unlock them

    Oops, my bad! blush  After seeing the photos comparing "Z" and "N" gauge trains with a finger, I realized my train hobby was "N", not "Z". blushsurprise However, I can be forgiven because I'm ancient and I gave up that hobby completely a quarter century ago.  And besides, an "N" looks very similar to a "Z" if you lay on your side.

    ...no hurricane here but got caught in one heck of a "gullywasher" as we used to call them in the Midwest.  For several minutes the streets became rivers.  Been so dry this all month it all soaked into the ground rather quickly,

    Petercat and Jan19, good to know you made it through OK.  Didn't realise it would still be that strong that far inland. Usually once a hurricane moves over land it loses a lot of energy. as it is cut off form its main source of fuel which is warm ocean water.

    One of my favourite smiley resource sites is no more. Wanted to embed the animated  "hugs" one with the long outstretched arms in a post but it was only available in the proper format on that particular site.

    Hey, everybody.  Internet's back. yes

    If you're in the hurricane path, she's moving on up out of here, I think.

    Glad to hear that you didn't get blown away.

    Thank you. smiley​ 

    I kinda thought you all were hoping I would. ;-) 

    Just kidding.  Thank you. yes

    Figured you'd make it through.  But thought your power might be out.

    My rule of thumb:

    Category 1 hurricanes are messy but not particularly dangerous unless you live on water or shore, or in a trailer park or under big trees or are stupid.

    Cat 2 are dangerous.  You don't go for a walk or drive in them and it's a real mess to clean up your yard and the streets afterward.  Power may be out for a day or so.

    Cat 3 is hunker down and eat all the ice cream after the power goes out and be prepared for a week without power.  Have plenty of towels and buckets and mops ready for broken windows and punctured roofs.

    Cat 4 is be prepared to evacuate and have a plan to leave early in case you're in an iffy location.  There a LOTS of iffy locations.   Check your insurance policy

    Cat 5 is run!  Run away!  Be prepared to rebuild or move.

     

    UGH... a week without power in Florida in summer is no fun.  Unless you live on the beach and your house didn't blow away and you're a surfer.

    Thanks. smiley​  I did make it through just fine.  The power never went out, thank goodness.

    I don't know what category the storm was when it hit here, but the treetops whipped around pretty well.

    I guess I am stupid for taking the dog out during a squall, but it was first thing in the morning.  I knew the poor little thing was miserable though, along w/being totally freaked out.

    ROFL, my mama told me this morning she thought she had 75 cats.  I guess she was worried about them blowing everywhere.

    I asked why she didn't get the original fixed.  She said there wasn't an original.

    There is no way she has 75 cats.  No way.

     

      

     

    LOL   I do tend to empathise with her.  When I am trying to get 2 cats locked away in the back area when the shopping delivery turns up early, I am sure that they multiply 3 or 4 times.  I do ask them to phone if they want to arrive early, so I can get the cats locked up before the fascinating van man turns up on the door step.   My 2 newish cats are indoor cats, Go out in the garden on leads, and are very good at=bout having their leads put on,  However the front door and shopping deliveries are different. Cats are of course curious by nature.

    I edited the cats out of the earlier post, but now they're back. smiley​  I hated to make my mama look irresponsible.

    How the cats got to Mama's is a sad story, so I won't go into it.  I think by the time she got concerned about the numbers, it was too  late.

    They do have a good place to live.  An old, old house, with plenty of rats. 

    I hope you don't have 75 cats one day. :-)

     

     

    I think my Landlord would get a bit miffed if I did,  Had to persuade him nicely that our two were very well behaved cats. Apparently he had one tenant who had a dog that did quite a bit of damage to the property, so wasn't keen on having pets around. Plus of course an old 1830s stone built working man's cottage wouldn't have room for too many cats.

    Old stone workers buildings.  Hmmm.  When I lived in Washington DC we looked at moving to a more upscale place in the city and took a look at the Georgetown area. that dated around the early 1800's.  Yes there are some beautiful mansions but around them were workers & servant housing some of stone but most of brick dating from 1840-1890.  They've all become quite desirable in this upscale neighborhood.  Unfortunately, teeny, tiny places they were with HUGE price tags.  We decided that upscale did not mean requiring a shoehorn to get through the door.  So, we passed on those locations.  Yeah, nice address to put on letterhead and impress the co-workers but not worth the lack of garage, and living in a shoebox with no easy walk to the subway*

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_(Washington,_D.C.)

    PS:  The no subway access thing was because in the 1980s when the Metro (subway) was being constructed the residents of the Georgetown area voted to reject it because they feared that the construction of the underground Metro lines and the vibrations of the continually running trains would damage the ancient construction in the area.  But common suspicion is that they didn't want to give the unwashed multitudes easy access to their posh area.  That the low rent neighbors in the old servant quarters were bad enough.  This now makes it a real pain to get to Georgetown.  There are WAY too many cars for the area's narrow streets despite the fact that one of the nicest shopping malls in the city "Georgetown Park" is there.  Even the main street through Georgetown ("M" Street) though wide is extremely congested almost all the time because it leads to a major bridge out of the city in that area.  You either have to drive, take a taxi or walk to Georgetown.

    A lot of History surrounding the area where I live, but rather different history.  The village came into existence as a direct result of the infamous Merthyr rising of 1831.  This was famous for, amongst other things, being the first time the red flag was flown on British soil as a symbol of the workers revolting.  Prior to this all there was in the area was common land and the Penywern Ponds, which were used by the iron company as a water supply.  Troops had to be moved in from Across the other side of the Brecon Beacons mountain range, so the Iron Company insisted that Barracks should be built in the area, and from those Barracks grew the village.

    BTW    This is where the ironmaster lived 



    and this shows the workers type of housing

    Google is your friend:  After asking it "Why does coffee make me pee?" I get this. https://www.google.com/#q=why+does+coffee+make+me+pee

     

    I on the other hand don't have your problem.  It makes me try to find a MEN'S room instead.

    Old stone workers buildings.  Hmmm.  When I lived in Washington DC we looked at moving to a more upscale place in the city and took a look at the Georgetown area. that dated around the early 1800's.  Yes there are some beautiful mansions but around them were workers & servant housing some of stone but most of brick dating from 1840-1890.  They've all become quite desirable in this upscale neighborhood.  Unfortunately, teeny, tiny places they were with HUGE price tags.  We decided that upscale did not mean requiring a shoehorn to get through the door.  So, we passed on those locations.  Yeah, nice address to put on letterhead and impress the co-workers but not worth the lack of garage, and living in a shoebox with no easy walk to the subway*

    PS:  The no subway access thing was because in the 1980s when the Metro (subway) was being constructed the residents of the Georgetown area voted to reject it because they feared that the construction of the underground Metro lines and the vibrations of the continually running trains would damage the ancient construction in the area.  But common suspicion is that they didn't want to give the unwashed multitudes easy access to their posh area.  That the low rent neighbors in the old servant quarters were bad enough.  This now makes it a real pain to get to Georgetown.  There are WAY too many cars for the area's narrow streets despite the fact that one of the nicest shopping malls in the city "Georgetown Park" is there.  Even the main street through Georgetown ("M" Street) though wide is extremely congested almost all the time because it leads to a major bridge out of the city in that area.  You either have to drive, take a taxi or walk to Georgetown.

    Anybody know where there's a DAZ compatible model of canals and canal boats?

     

    A lot of History surrounding the area where I live, but rather different history.  The village came into existence as a direct result of the infamous Merthyr rising of 1831.  This was famous for, amongst other things, being the first time the red flag was flown on British soil as a symbol of the workers revolting.  Prior to this all there was in the area was common land and the Penywern Ponds, which were used by the iron company as a water supply.  Troops had to be moved in from Across the other side of the Brecon Beacons mountain range, so the Iron Company insisted that Barracks should be built in the area, and from those Barracks grew the village.

    BTW    This is where the ironmaster lived 



    and this shows the workers type of housing

     

    Ah, the industrial revolution.  It was the best of times.  It was the worst of times.

    ...no hurricane here but got caught in one heck of a "gullywasher" as we used to call them in the Midwest.  For several minutes the streets became rivers.  Been so dry this all month it all soaked into the ground rather quickly,

    Petercat and Jan19, good to know you made it through OK.  Didn't realise it would still be that strong that far inland. Usually once a hurricane moves over land it loses a lot of energy. as it is cut off form its main source of fuel which is warm ocean water.

    One of my favourite smiley resource sites is no more. Wanted to embed the animated  "hugs" one with the long outstretched arms in a post but it was only available in the proper format on that particular site.

    "Frog-strangler" is another thing we call a gullywasher.here in Tennessee. smiley

    I really should delete some junk from my hard drives.  I found some videos that I don't watch any more and some duplicate files for my Daz 3D projects.

    No storm here (western NY State).  Perfect holiday weekend. smiley  Mid 70s to low 80s, clear, dry.  BBQ smell in the air.  Long strings of motorcycles cruising through town, fresh raspberries, blueberries, corn.  Yum.

    Stupid question alert: Why does coffee make me want to find a ladies room after a while after drinking it?

    Google is your friend:  After asking it "Why does coffee make me pee?" I get this. https://www.google.com/#q=why+does+coffee+make+me+pee

     

    I on the other hand don't have your problem.  It makes me try to find a MEN'S room instead.

     

    You mean other people wonder about the same thing or experience the same phenomenon?

    ...clondy and upper 60s here. Summer seems to have taken a hasty leave of us since the end of August.   

    Bugger someone (not me) won the 9.4$ million Megabucks Lotto. Usually it's old fogies like myself who win it.  Don't know what's gone wrong. Maybe a change in ionization caused by HAARP or some weird side effcts of chemtrails.

    Morning. Sunday morning quiet and sleepy except for a few  early rising songbirds calling in the dawn from still bare-branched and wintery looking treetops :)
