I always figured why get a tattoo? They are always listed on the chart as distinguishing marks should you ever make it to the FBI's 10 most wanted. And even for the less notorious, they are photographed when you are booked for a crime.
I like keeping my options open, and a tattoo just might be a hindrance if I ever go the non-conventional employment route.

An entire day wasted. On the telephone for 8 1/2 hours trying to get my computer to communicate with my scanner. They used to work fine together but no more. 3 1/2 on the phone with Dell Tech support. No joy. They finally hung up on me. 4 1/2 hours on the phone with Epson, the scanner maker. No Joy. Nothing works. Downloaded drivers three times. The computer recognizes the scanner under Device Manager but they cannot communicate. No one has a solution. Another technological failure.

My wife and I watched a livestream of our niece's graduation(?) from Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island this morning. She's now a PFC. She’s home for 10 days and then off to AIT. Congrats to the tough girl!

I can't tell you how many hours I spent with this kind of crap with Windows. Best thing I ever did was a basic setup network image so I can could just copy the image to the hard drive and start over in 10 minutes. That's strictly a business solution though. I have had the issue from home too. Lots of troubleshooting, registry editing and uninstalls. I had several troubleshooting/repair tools that could fix a lot of issues. Windows has always sucked and still sucks. But I made a great living fixing bad operating systems. I am about one more fit from putting Linux on my PC.

Hey, the electric bill dropped from $300 back to $225 this month. That's still high, but it's better!

Made it through two mornings in row of doctor appointments. Next carpologist appointment is late November. Wound care left me a bloody mess again and now hours later still feeling the pain. I called technical support to Cannon years ago the outcome was a new world record for throwing a printer the longest distance with enough height to shatter it into many smaller pieces. Also the last Cannon product purchased over the last twenty years. So John I feel your pain. Peace and love folks.

I had an electric attic exhaust fan with a bearing going out and I think it ate a lot of current, trying to keep itself spinning. (It's a theory, anyway.)

If any Windows updates recently installed, you can roll them back and see if that fixes it.

I just watched Shohei Ohtani steal his 40th base of the season, then later hit a walk-off grand slam for his 40th HR of the season (and a Dodgers win!).

Hey, the electric bill dropped from $300 back to $225 this month. That's still high, but it's better! Ours was $410. That's about 150 less than last July. New AC is paying off. And it keeps the house cold too! 😁

New Trane, 185$, had the old house when movers put it together after its journey from Kaplan to my farm, had it foamed, attic and crawl space, gas usually 20$ and now what will it be this winter. I have to say the old Amana did its job for 20 yrs.

The lull in the garden continues. Just three Roma tomatoes and a large handful of green beans today. There are still a lot of tomatoes on the vines, just not ripening very quickly. Plenty of eggplants, too. I'll be picking a bunch of those next week. The cucumber vines are about spent, and the pepper plant have a lot of fruit on them. Some will be large enough to pick in a few days. I've got a few habanero plants that are doing well. I won't be picking those for a while.

Driving the new car with (576 watt equivalent Harmon Kardon 12 speaker sound system) tonight.
My wife had the misfortune of Golden Earring’s song come on, while navigating twisty roads.
The car corners exceedingly well.
Kinda funny… early in our marriage I had a ‘69 Chevy Impala 2 door coupe, 327 4 bolt main, all stock but that car was a great cruiser. I loved opening it up and showing the new arrivals at the time in their foreign 4 cylinder buzz bombs 😉. It had Cragar wheels and wide tires though. Back then, Twilight Zone was a new song and I opened it up.
My only mistake was selling that car.
The wife got it though and we had a good laugh.

I have to say the old Amana did its job for 20 yrs. We've got a big old leakey house with leaky windows and no insulation in the walls. It's cheaper to pay the electric bill than try to fix everything. Our lifespan doesn't make payback foreseeable.

My wife knows what's going to happen when Radar Love comes on. I has a driving cassette with white wedding, radar love, Frankenstein, locomotive breath, etc. About 24 high intensity songs. It lives in a folder on my phone now. I needed it when I had to go into Houston.
