It's going to be a noisy day here. After a brief reprieve, the tile grinder has been set up next door and is going again. Meanwhile, on the other side of the house, I'll have the Blue Angels again.

Time for some ear plugs.

Rainy, windy, cold, dreary day here. I sure do wish I could take a nap but I have an appointment in an hour or so and I'm scared I wouldn't wake up in time.

Overcast, light rain, 50 degrees, 50 mph wind (translates to wind chill of about 30 degrees) - dang, is full winter here already? I haven't even truly started gathering the winter firewood supply.

I was making that shape out of my mashed potatoes at dinner for some reason

I was gonna say Richard Dreyfus in CE3K, but I'm so late starting today that Katz beat me to it. Actually, the first pic (taken from the highway showing a fence in foreground) reminds me not so much of CE3K as it does Paul. Anyone bring fireworks?

I ALWAYS carried a holstered honkin 6" Ruger Redhawk (in fact, the kid's parents INSISTED on it, when I had them in my charge)...you had to...self defense against bears.

Those pics I posted ages ago of hiking the Bitterroot Mountains (Rockies) in Montana... I was told up front that you'd be insane to hike up there without carrying a rifle or large-bore handgun (I had a S&W Guide - 2" .44mag back then w/JHP ammo) because you never knew when a grizzly might pop out of the bushes. Don't bother with 9mm or .38 specials because that would only piss them off.

Took this one because I thought it was funny. Yeah, nice red rocks, but the highway sign tells the opinion of folks in Wyoming... three cars down the road is "heavy traffic"? Of course, when I first moved to this place in South Dakota, I could walk out and stand on the centerline of U.S. Highway 212 and no cars would come by for at least five minutes. One day three came by, about 100 yards apart, so we laughed and said, "Look! A traffic jam!"

1. Good afternoon Treefam! Hope everyone is having a fine Friday. Weather is lovely here and I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of having no one here (bf is working)...just me and the dog...perfect for slug time! Which I can use since I didn't sleep well at all last night...woke up 3 times with severe acid reflux! ...As Uncle would say, NOT NICE!

Due to weather, not a lot of outside activity today, so figured I should pop in here again to see what's going on. Not much, obviously...

For some reason, unknown to me anyway, these are called the Missouri Buttes - located in N.E. Wyoming, not far from The Devil's Tower.

I just signed my hopes and dreams away..Chapter 13..for the next 5 years. My dream was to be able to retire in 3. Not now! I do have to live somewhere. But, it's all good! At least I don't have to surrender 3 dogs and 3 cats to animal control to be euthanized and I still have a home to come home to.

Having to do that really sucks, Lynn, but it is better than losing everything. Hang in there... the sun will come out tomorrow...

I agree Fuzzy Thunderbear! Although the sun won't be out tomorrow here! We've got rain for the next 2 days on top of the last 5 days of it. And at least now, I know I won't be out in it!! Lol

Being home does not mean I was lazy. I installed a new bathroom door (dog ate the old one... long story).

In the mail, today, I got a Geyscano 50 watt squonker, and a Hobo V3 clone BF atty. Built that...

As some of you know, I live near a university and my neighborhood is not without it's share of homeowners who bought at the peak of the housing market and are now renting their homes to students. One such house is across the street from me--and the new renters (the school year just started) have already had a couple of parties, thrown junk on their roof, parked several of their cars in guest parking, and generally acted like idiots college students. One student went so far as to change his clothing in the parking lot (he kept his underwear on). This afternoon, this same student knocked on my door, wondering if we could move one of our cars that was parked in our driveway. It seems that his car is one of those in the parking lot (a Lexus--all of the students drive BMW's, Mercedes, Audis, and Lexii) and won't start. He wanted me to move my car so that the tow truck could park on my driveway to pull his car out. I explained that I would not give him permission to use my private property and that I would not move the car. I further explained to him that the best solution is to put the car in neutral, release the brake, and roll it out onto the street, whereupon the tow truck can easily get to it. Perhaps I'm being an ...?

The Major Problem:

I cannot sync "My" Outlook Contacts and Calendar directly to the phone - nor it's internal memory, especially since the LG Bridge Program requires you to connect to the Internet and also link to either a Gmail/FB account or set one up with LG (which I really would rather not doing - but have and now deleted since the program failed to work as promised) . . .

Worse - Even after I followed all the instructions, the program keeps mentioning the phone will not connect to "My" PC, although I can see it as a new "Drive" and can access it to transfer files from the pc to the phone which I have done . . .

Also compound this with the fact that it seems that all Android Phones and Google are insisting that all data is going to be shared - even if "You" DO NOT WANT TO SHARE It between platforms . . . NO I DO NOT WANT to link "My" Phone to Google Contacts & Calendar . . . Nor even a Cloud . . . I want to keep that information separate, especially since I have certain contacts I keep in "My" phone that I only want in "My" Phone and no where else (I do not "Share" Friends personal information with anyone, especially without them knowing) . . .

SO - What I am looking for is a program (or a workaround) that I can use that will specifically transfer MS Outlook Contacts & Calendar Information from PC to Phone and Phone To PC when connected via a USB . . .

Uncle, years ago, Microsoft became very protective of communications with Outlook (probably because of security). Likewise, Android phones are made specifically to integrate with Google services and do not do any outside operations of their own. The generally accepted way to share contacts with an Android phone has always been to export the Outlook contact data into a .csv (text) file, then upload that to Google's Gmail, and then let the phone sync with Gmail.

The standard contact app on your phone does not have any import/export ability of its own because much of the power of today's phones is derived from the connectivity to online services, so a third party application is needed (Android stores contacts in a SQLite database which can read .csv files--but it needs direction on how to do it). Complicating the process is that Outlook's output in .csv format is not entirely as straightforward as one would think, so any app or script which does this will have to decipher the data.

Here are a couple of links that a quick search found. I don't know how (if any) of them work, or if any of them are free (at least one, I believe, asks for donations). Anyway, I hope this helps.

Also, I should note, by choosing not to link your phone with a Google account, you will be limiting yourself to what you can and cannot do on the phone. As I mentioned earlier, modern phones are designed to tie into the larger online services, so, even if you are successful, know that you may run into some difficulties when you try to do certain things.

Guns guns guns! Saints preserve us...

I had this argument with my father at least once in every phone call while he was alive. Every time there is a shooting, or I hear gunfire, or I think of my father - which is daily - I have the conversation in my head all over again.

1) If gun rights is the first thing you think of when an incident like this happens, go see a mental health care specialist ASAP. Your priorities are seriously screwed up!

I feel terrible for the families and friends and the injured. This will be a trying time for Oregon and the nation.

2) The constitution guarantees us the right to bear arms, true. However, the founding fathers had no idea what doors they were opening and how technology would advance. At that time, a muzzle-loading musket was an armament. Perhaps a cannon, but still a single shot, highly inaccurate, slow to use, heavy to carry device. Today, a .50 caliber machine gun. An AR-15. A 9 mm beretta. A 30 kiloton tactical nuke. They are all armaments... so is a hammer, if used incorrectly. You want to know what a weapon of mass destruction really looks like? Arm every Chinese citizen with a sharpened chopstick... we would not have enough bullets to stop them all before the damage was done. Heck, we're vapers... short 18650 batteries in un-vented mods and lob 'em at the opposition. Better yet, short 26650 batteries... Point is, I think gun ownership is fine. But, I also think licensing needs to happen... I find it absurd that you have to take a class, pass a test, and pay insurance to purchase and operate a car, but any schmuck with a couple hundred dollars and a 50 IQ can walk in off the street and buy a rifle and ammunition.

Just so you know, I am as offended that people can procreate willy-nilly without education and licensing... some folks just should not breed!

Of course, every time I said that my father would bring up Hitler and how Germany required licensing and used that to take away guns right before WW2.

Hitler was also voted Man of the year in 1938 by Time Magazine...

And if they take away guns? Well, I got plans for a trebuchet here somewhere...

Go figure...

Again, my heart goes out to those suffering...

10/2 - 2: Okay the only reason I brought it up in the first place was due to the news that I was watching. The reporters stated that the only way that this would not happen it to take the guns from all people. My point is that only the law abiding would do so, and the criminals would not. If law abiding good citizens were allowed to carry in places like schools, then the number of victims could have been much less. I gave my condolences first, but felt the need to go against the media's statement.

There was no condemnation or vitriol in my statement... I just heard my father's voice again and wanted to share my thoughts...
