when I was wandering through the woods in Oklahoma we always had some kerosene or diesel and we would Spray some around our boots and ankles to keep the ticks and chiggers away

Not a laptop it's a desktop. I'll try unplugging my pc in a little bit to see what happen with these virus ad's, still waking up.

Morning ness what version of windows is it running or is it a Mac?
Do you run any anti virus software other than what is already on the computer?
I suggest you run an anti virus if you are seeing pop up ads ,
What exactly do the ads say , are they saying things like we have locked your computer and to get it unlock you must pay a fee to them or just ads advertising the sell of antivirus software form a seller to protect your computer?

when it's treat time dutch walks over to the jerky jar and switches his stares between me and the jar...he knows what works and he's relentless unless I tell him to chill...he knows that word all too well...

Always a question of who is training who.......................

I periodically get those hacks and get rid of them by unplugging the computer and turning it back on. Just rebooting or turning off doesn't always work

38F @ 86% RH, gorgeous, and predicted to reach 61F.

Had another PT session on my back and neck. I have one more left, but they really haven't helped, sooooo it looks like my next move is to see a back specialist..........................

What state are you in, pretty please.? I'm thinking we still have about another week here maybe slightly more.

Smak dab in the middle of chOklahoma. I pulled 3 ticks off me. Forgot to sulfur up....dusted up this morn. The down side of sulfur is it will make you smell like rotten eggs as you sweat.
Will be hitting the woods after I drop off a mower and pick up another.

I probably got at least another 10 days. Years back we would hunt sacks full of them. Now days if I can find one or to meals it is enough. There are some people around here who sell them by the pound.

Morning back at ya. I'm running a windows no anti-virus software. The ads say Malware detected, system alert, virus detected 5, Security Risk warning 3 virus found, Critical virus alert, system is infected. They pop all the time.

Do a shut down and on a desktop you will need to pull plug from wall and the battery backup if you have one , Wait 10 mins and plug back in as Wolf said too.

So just out of curiosity, I bought a $20 or so little bubbler. I got it and it took me a full ten minutes before I realized the thing was uncleanable (one piece), and that it just has a little sphere on the top with a hole in its North Pole area where, apparently, you stick a doobie.

BZZZZT! What a waste of smoke!! You gotta stick a doobie in the top hole to draw the smoke through a tablespoon of water. I will never waste weed like that.

It looks like an analogue of this -- with these differences: It does NOT come apart. There are NO rubber stoppers like in this pic. It is ONE little piece (palm of hand) unlike the example shown which comprises three pieces.

Just squoosh in the wide bottom to a cylinder a thumb-width same as the upper area.

The bottom (water reservoir) is tiny, not like the Ehrlenmeyer flask style bottom shown. Clever glass blowing, I guess, but it reduced the thing to uselessness.View attachment 292784




I decided to see the thing function (without wasting precious grass), so I held the angled mouth pipe under a faucet. HAH! Dumped out 90%. Found I could not draw the gentlest bit without getting a mouthful of water.

Kept on lowering the amount of water until I got to a tablespoon or so. Then, if I drew carefully on the angled pipe, it worked. It bubbled. Meh.

So I dumped the water out. No I didn't -- no matter how I jiggled, shook and tapped, some water stayed trapped in the thing. Jeez.

I buy glass with an eye to cleaning it. Hot water blasting through removes a lot, then shake with some 90 proof, add Epsom salts to alcohol for more scrubbing action.

I usually go with Grav stuff. No rubber plugs, glass fittings, usually 14mm.

I'll have to talk at him. What about the pop up popping up that say i have a virus? Do you think I have a virus or are they wanting me to buy their produce?

Oddly, many virus trick you by announcing "virus" and providing something to click on.

VPN, Malwarebytes and anti virus.

Well, there's a minute and 48 seconds I'll never get back. The boat didn't flip, flounder, catch fire, or blow up. What gives, Hydra? You ain't gettin' depressed again, are ya? We still love ya.

Rain. More rain. Yuck.

I was sitting at the bar with my lovely bride yesterday when somebody yelled, "Look! What is that?"
Everyone turned around expecting to see a major car wreck on Dixie highway or something. It was the sun. It peeked out for two or three seconds and was gone again.
Pure Michigan.
