I still can not distinguish when to use certain words and such
ie your, you're their and there, then than but it is coming back more each day. Took a long time.
Tech stuff comes easy to me, the tech part of my Brain is running it.

Major wildfire in So Cal. Here we go again. Last two summers we couldn't see the sky for the Cali smoke. Looks like it's gonna happen again. Used to love to visit that state. Now days I can't think of ONE thing it is good for. Perfect example of a miss managed mess.

Gonna till my garden today. Will start planting carrots, beets and radishes in the next couple of days. No lettuce, cabbage or broccoli this yeat in order to make room for other things.

Did somebody say coffee....
 
Good morning Walt any new stories in the life of Walt?
Yabbut -- They gotta fit in with the topic du jure.

Sorta like the time I was over Schweinfurt in my B-17, with three engines burnin' and one of them turnin'...

And the autopilot just bailed out with the last parachute -- leaving me with a silkworm and a needle.

I was one busy muddafukka.

Question for anyone who has Gutters on their house
Does anyone use the leaf guards and do they help and actually work
Worth the money getting them installed?
We have them on our house. Must have been installed years ago. I noticed last year them not draining so well. Took the tops off the ones around my back porch and found them full of mud. Don’t have any idea how long they have been installed. My guess 10 years maybe? Must be from years of use without cleaning. So I would say they are good but do still require maintenance just not every time the leaves fall…
 
OK -- The above B-17 silliness triggered a childhood memory. I was five years old, and one of my uncles had just come home from Europe and was visiting us. He'd been a B-24 Liberator pilot.

In 1945, little kids kept real silent when grownups were talking. Especially grown up visitors. It was The Rule. Never broken.

Anyway, there I was with my metal foldy-wing metal toy, just playing and not paying any attention to what they were talking about when I heard this:

"So there I was over Munich, exactly upside down..."

When I asked what Munich was, Daddy explained that my uncle was flying a big plane and a German cannon shell boomed right under one wing and flipped his plane upside down.

I did not think much about it until I got older and understood just what I had been told -- including the rest of the story, which was that he got the plane right side up at a very low altitude and actually completed the bomb run. Got an Air Medal for it.

Everybody that I know says that they don't work all that well. They can't handle a hard rain.....runs right over them on to the ground. I won't get them.
