What are you doing today?

Where I live there's no tick's at all, But when we go for moose season, There's some big enough they make a cast iron skillet ring like a bell when you wack them...

They are all cyclical and once peak is reached they always go back on their own. We have many that runs about 7 years cycles some 5 some 3... Once in a while they all peak together. People panic and start spraying all sorts of poisonous products. I have poison ivy and deal with it on cases basis.

Since a couple years, moose have less and less ticks and the last ones where clean... 6-10 Years ago they where eaten alive and we would "take" the most afflicted out of compassion.

Today, I continued the weed waking operation to an extend... But if you ever heard of Japanese knotweed you know what invasion means. My father (Peace to his soul) said The US dropped the nuke on japan, Not to eradicate peoples, but because of this weed... And Just like the peoples, it came back ten time stronger.

After that that I upgraded a luxurious intel i9 gaming laptop with 24 cores... To some light speed gaming ram and dual of the fastest enterprise grade datacenter M.2 ssd's I could find, resulting in a whooping 28 gigabit/s transfer from ram to disk.

I honestly could not make a tower that fast today without a substantial investment on a hard core Motherboard.

I loved the old design of laptops... Today you have to crack open a 4k oyster to replace basic parts. And I have stuff 20 years old without a scratch.

If I scratch it, I'm gonna see only that for the next 20 years... So the processes is "white glove" all the way and removing a panel without parts flying off... Is mandatory. I try to be low on caffeine when attempting these jobs. loll...

But the process completed with clean success, I'm finalizing software installation, and tomorrow an engineer will enjoy high end 10K$ workstation capability in the slimmest thing I ever worked.
 
One of the things about living here in June is we get busloads of elementary school kids on field trips to the nature park up the road. They pass by singing and you can feel the caged desperation of the teachers, trying to survive for just a few more days. I used to love the last day of school before exams in a high school, because if you like the kids, you have to enjoy their excitement at getting the %^%$%$ away from you.
It was nice not to have to prepare lessons and constantly generate ideas, don't get me wrong. When the hallway drama would switch off, it was like a cloud lifting. I liked my vacations. But there's something about the end of the school year for a kid that we as adults rarely feel again, and it's a riot to watch it roll by in front of the house in yellow buses.
 
I had a naughty d39 so i decided to put it in a 5 by itself for a little bit - but first i had to buy a 5 $18; then I spurge on a lid $19 and then i realize i didn't have any tiny heaters $19 - anyway here we go:

The substrate, wood and light came from the closet so $0; tomorrow or saturday i'll move him in there - right now he is a breeder box where he can misbehave all he wants - this is meant to be a short term solution - but in the process i gave his 29 to a trio of a. elizabeth cause lizzie insisted on having the aquarium. I might find a nicer piece of driftwood next time i'm near a store but by then he might be moved out of time out and into another aquarium - i have a set of d39s in a 20 long where he probably belongs but better safe than sorry as d39 are kind of not too readily available.
 
With the manhunt for Travis Decker going on in the surrounding areas by me, traffic is horrible. Everyone is on edge, and there’s police and helicopters everywhere.

I’m glad they’re taking it seriously to find him, I only wish they would have taken it seriously when the concerns were brought up by their mom prior to him killing the girls.

Reminds me of the boston bombing; then they locked down the city to find one 17 year old - but they forgot to tell folks the city was locked down so police with m16 was stopping everyone.
