And an update on dinner:

It started like this:

Then i par-baked the crust to get it rising and fluffy. packed the Monterey Jack around the outer edge of the pan. Then added sauce, Mozz, toppings and more Mozz:

25 minutes at 385 F-degrees and this happened:

On the computer side I also buy only Windows Professional. I want the security features they strip out of the home version.

Toll scam must have run its course. here is the latest text scam.

Pre-Op appointment Friday at St. Joes. and bypass surgery on the following Thursday,

Karl: Prayers will be offered. Bypass is a little more complicated than what I had. Best wishes and good luck. Don't forget the Cardiac Rehab as soon as your Doc clears you. Best rehab therapy I ever experienced. Really works and helps the recovery.

My most recent had Win 11 Professional. I agree completely.

I ended up ordering a HP with 16MB Ram and Windows 11 pro. which brought the price up to $731.00. I already had Windows 10 Pro so I wanted the Windows 11 Pro. it was $80 more for the Pro vs the home. I thought the 16 MB ram would speed up the updates which seem to take forever.

I didn't know that, thank you Patrick!

 

[Kusojiji]

I guess security isn't #1. Oh yeah, safety is. never mind...

Safety first--unless it costs money.

Good morning. It's clear and 74.

 

[Bill Tidler Jr.]

Good morning! It's 54°F and partly cloudy.

 

[kbkchooch]

Good morning gang!

55° cloudy skies looking for a high today of 72°.
Thanks for all the well wishes for my upcoming surgery. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere!
Later

Good morning all. The overnight rain has stopped. Now it is warm and cloudy.
A large coffee please, Flo.
A number of fiddly jobs to attend to.

Puddles after the rain

 

[troyphoto]

Well, howdy there internet peeps, and those who need some Puddles the Clown

It's Troy again,

still working on my ACW project. This will take several months.

I remembered that I had traded with a friend: I gave him a bunch of unpainted French for Napoleonics, and he gave me about half that in painted ACW Union... Lovely paint and basing job. Unfortunately, the basis is way off of what i need. So I started soaking the basing paste (probably vallejo brand, knowing his work) with IPA. A few minutes later, twist/flex the basie and stuff pops off nicely, if a tad messy.

The down side, other than losing his basing efforts, is that I am using smaller bases, so they look crowded.

Again, these are 1:100 scale, so smaller than HO (1:86ish) and larger than Nscale (1:160)

The black 1x1 square is what I need to mount 2 Cav on.

 

[Patrick]

Morning all,

57° and Drizzly, storms overnight. I didn't hear them but as of 5:10 this morning there was 1.6" of rain in the gauge. That makes over 6" since last Friday night. With that we are above average for May, but still 3+ inches below average for the year to date and still in deficit from the past years.

Otherwise not much going on yet this morning.

[migalyto]

Good morning all!

A very cloudy 54F but that is supposed to clear out and become partly sunny. High is at leat going to finally
get to 70F. Looks like the heat will finally begin building after today. Looking forward to some summer temps
finally arriving.

Other than some light household duties, not much else going on with me either. I will try and mow later today.

Hopefully some more layout work tonight.

Karl-My thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery.

Have a safe day everyone!

Well, it is raining now with a gale advisory. Didn't plan on that when I started my 3d print. I need to have my closet window open to vent out the fumes from the printer. I had read that the fumes were not hazardous, but when I first got the printer, after the first hour I was about to hit the floor. Spots, dizzy, high heart rate and I hadn't started drinking yet!

So, I put the thing in my closet, ran some dryer duct to the printer and have one of those maryjane growing inside the house green house duct fans at the window. The window opening is completely closed off with foam board and a hole for the duct fan, but since the window is open, rain can get in to the whatever the inside part of the sill is called.

I have about an hour more on the print. Will keep an eye open (at least try to keep any eye open as it is 930 pm right now) on the rain intensity.
