Well, learned something new about computer maintenance.

Been having random programs go into the "not responding" mode and raising the irritation levels of me. Was shown a command prompt that actually fixed the issue.

sfc /scannow

That prompt found several on the work laptop and it finally stopped being a severe pain in my gluteus maximus

Was so pleased by it I did the same thing to my home systems.

Well, first thing I had to do was go in administrator mode and then reboot as there was apparently an unapplied update that had to be completed first.

Bottom line once I got past all of that and ran the command line, no problems were found, so the reboot that I was unaware of fixed a multitude of hidden problems.

That would blow them all away to say the least, along with the coordinator and the employers who also get a copy of the progress report


I love calligraphy

Well, had one of those days that makes one think we should have stayed home and read books instead ... although if I had done that I guess what happened today would not have been averted ... just delayed.

Got to work this morning and thought naught of it, till later the OL (office lady) said my truck was leaking all over the bay floor.

Again thought naught of it, just said that it was marking its spot.

Went out and looked and ... oops ... at least it looked like water or maybe antifreeze.

So drove it to ye ole repair shoppe and yep the verdict was returned, no it wasn't a broken hose or fitting ... of course not it never is anything simple, easy or inexpensive, it was the water pump.

 

Thank goodness it is a company vehicle and covered. Although I am thinking the people that approve repairs might want to get some basic automotive concepts under their belt.

The mechanic told me later when I picked up my truck said they called back twice, not once but twice and asked the same question "Was the repair/replacement of the water pump necessary?"

   Seriously

What did you think I just wanted it replaced because ... oh I don't know, I didn't like the color ... ... morons

Had a Water Pump Snap off and was hanging from the hose But the engine never got hot o.O

I am never that fortunate

Well, this should be cute, got a drawing yesterday of how they want to configure the testing rack that I am building.

Pretty much all that I have already done is wrong.

Well, truth be told I wasn't told anything when I started so I did suspect it was not going to be even close, but I didn't expect to see what I am seeing on the detail ... ... no big deal it is not like I had anything cabled up so no foul there, my grounding solution is useless going forward though ... whatever darn and I thought I had a pretty good trick going on there.

imagine the expressions of the students recieveing Caligraphic reports.

Imagine the expression at the secretariat, and the one by the director and his first hand when we received a full calligraphied letter at the beginning of 2020. Three pages! And the guy had even written the same letter to 2 other branches of the administration. Not just copies, he wrote them a second and third time, we could see little difference between letters.

Sorry Sir Knight, I am usually more resilient than I showed everyone a while ago.   I find out tomorrow morning what my scalpel happy podiatrist wants to do to me.   And whether I get up and walk out of and away from the VA Medical care or not.

It's not a problem for me at all.  I want you to know that you are in my prayers every day for improved health, particularly your feet.

Got the copy of the x-rays of ye ole lungs and opened them up on the computer and about had to be resuscitated.

Looking at it and seeing about 15% of the left lung is not visible when compared to the right side.

What the unholy hell is this and why is my doctor and the report saying all is good .

So had to educate myself on how to read and interpret a chest x-ray.

Turns out the "missing portion" on the left side is actually my heart.

Yes, folks I have a heart ... I know it is a surprise to me too, since I tested negative for emotions but there it is, properly situated and with no abnormalities ... so there ...


Couldn't resist
