I cleaned the start up programs on my computer. Then checked driver status.
The system said there were drivers to be updated so created a restore point and did that.
Now videos play without freezing on the HDMI output to my tv under Chrome.
There are so many gremlins in these computer systems.
Hopefully now everything will remain stable forvever. It has taken 2 full days to get back to where I was before it went wacko.

That's kinda funny because that's what mine used to do with running windows vista.....since this new one I haven't had any problems.....but I have been keeping up with the updates weekly.....Glad you got it fixed now....

The crawfish were delicious! Now I'm so full and tired and definitely don't feel like doing anything!
But gotta get the house together and get everything ready for work tomorrow. Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Spent some quality time with my mom and my 2 daughters today. Had some awesome strawberry shortcake (the real thing that you eat!). Now it's time to vape some strawberry shortcake.

Well the computer seems fine now.
Here's hoping it stays that way.
Kind of took up most of the weekend though.
Beef stew is simmering on the stove.
A quiet evening ahead.

TIOA Sns 8 eps 48: The man slept deeply, the night air was a pleasant cool, a small breeze coming through the window. Rolled over on his left side, he dreamed pleasantly. Such a strange dream so real he could feel it. The spider was crawling just behind him towards his back and hair, it made its way around the sheets and blankets and finally onto his back; carefully walking up and onto his neck right under the ear and towards his forehead. The man swatted it away in his sleep and spun; he got comfortable and fell right back into the deep sleep. Anjel moved forward and looked at his face.

The sun was just starting to come up when Anjel made it back to the group, Katz had a big pot of water starting to boil. "Welcome back." said Katz. "I have the water warming for you, so that you can bathe; would you like something to eat?" "Cleaning up would be nice, and some breakfast would be great." replied Anjel. "I can get some more water if you like." "Oh no, that will not be necessary; Count would you be able to make breakfast real quick?" He answered "I sure can, and even found some eggs to go with it."

Anjel washed her hands and face in a bowl set to the side, it was a very warm and pleasant; she breathed deep with her eyes closed. "I have found a place inside the second wall; it is very pleasant and large. Enough space for all of us, and should give us better living conditions." She turned while talking. "Of course for you Count until your beard grows more and we can keep you from being seen; then it would be a prison."

Just finished cooking a bunch of food and having dinner now. Did the grocery shopping earlier and before that cut the grass. Found some little bunnies in the yard - seen some movement in a pile of grass (from previous cutting) then a little critter bounce out - first thing that came to mind was small rat but it was a bunny. The was more movement there and could see an eye - he scurried out a minute later and still more movement. Number 3 headed out and could see a fourth in there. Don't know if there were more or if they went back - just left them be. Haven't seen any big ones here yet.

Good evening all. Pretty busy day here. Relaxed a bit earlier and been going quite a bit since. Had a walk, did a couple little things around the house and had dinner.

Again, Happy Mother's Day to any mom's just catching up. I'll catch y'all later!

TIOA Sns 8 eps 49: Count had already started on the breakfast, the skillet out and warm, the bacon was just starting to crackle. "I will grow no beard fast enough in 14 days to not be recognizable, who is going to wear a hat all day? Appears I am the house sitter then." Katz turned to him and smiled "Well at least we have a new friend to keep us company." Anjel went into the shed and was gone for a little while, Count moved the bacon just a little, Katz was just finishing making a little yarn ball. She tied it off and threw it. The little kitten pounced on it and began to destroy the evil monster.

Anjel came back out with a little black bag, she took it forward and knelt down as Count turned some of the bacon. "Don't look too down Count." said Anjel as she put her hand in the bag. She pulled her hand out and threw something at Count. He was caught off guard as one hand had the spatula. He adjusted fast and made the catch, it was soft. He let the spatula fall, and put both hands on it. "Go ahead." Anjel said, she threw the bag to Katz, she looked in and smiled. Count unfolded the shirt, black silk; very nice. "You can go out at night; and not necessarily just in that."

The little kitten had almost finished off the little monster, it had paid dearly for flying through the air and coming at her and Katz. It spun around it for the finishing move. Count picked up the lower section, he smiled; he wanted to put them on right then. The kitten pounced. "We" said Katz while pointing at Anjel and herself "can come out during the day, get food; other things if needed. We can make this work."

TIOA Sns 8 eps 50: The ball did not look very good, it just laid there; defeated. The kittens tail twitched, it watched the ball intently. "You need to rest Anjel." said Katz. "Yes, and I can do so there." "And how do we get Count there during the day?" The kitten tapped the ball, it moved. The kitten jumped on the ball and hit it with it's hind legs; thump, thump, thump, thump.

"I am not sure." she looked over at Count with a question, and serious. Count looked back at Anjel, he was not sure either. "Hey Count, the bacon." said Katz calmly "Oh crap." he said and he let his right hand take the spatula and turned the bacon quickly. His shirt fell onto the ground. "Ughh." He stopped and looked down at the shirt. The kitten jumped straight up and landed right back down on the ball.

Katz got up and went over to Count, she handed him a fork as she took the spatula. "Don't touch the skillet with your bare hands." Count looked at her with a little smirk, but still smiling. "I am not sure, you can go ahead and go Anjel; if you feel safe and sleep there since it will be cooler." The kitten stood up on it's hind legs, it's little front legs up in the air. The paws all the way out stretched, little daggers of scary.

Katz began to wash the spatula, as Count turned the bacon. Anjel went back into the shed. After a little more time, Anjel came back out. They all looked at each other stumped. The kitten swatted the ball, well the thing away; and sneezed at it.

I fell behind on watching The Vikings on the History Channel. When I went to catch up I found for this season that the episodes were free only for a week or 2 after they aired. Otherwise you had to have a subscription to the channel such as comcast, direct tv, etc. I watch tv over the antenna and through my computer only. I was 4 episodes behind and knew I would miss a lot by skipping ahead 4 episodes so I did not watch was available for free.
I have been trying to find season 4 episodes for free but have not had any luck.
Anyone know where they can be found to stream? Thx.

Well, Spring soccer came to an end today. My daughter's team manage to defeat a team that had been unbeaten all season, while my son's team managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (they were ahead at half-time and then fell apart in the second half). Still, all had fun and it was a great season. I *may* decide to coach again in the Fall--but it's up to my kids to say whether they want me or not.

Gonna get my kids out of the shower and then go grab take-out for dinner. My wife is a little miffed with the soccer schedule that took out the opportunities for both brunch and dinner, so it's the least we can do today. We'll plan a go-out night sometime in the next week or two....

Good night, Treefam!

TIOA Sns 8 eps 51: Katz picked up a plate and put the spatula on it, she handed it to Count. Anjel retrieved the ball and wound it tightly. Katz took the fork from Count and walked back around to the plate and things. She grabbed the eggs, while Count took the bacon out. Anjel tied of the ball and tossed it back out onto the ground. The kitten was not watching. When the ball hit right behind it, the kitten jumped up and away three feet. It turned around and looked at everyone. Yeah I meant that.

Count finished taking out the bacon, and gave the plate back to Katz. She handed the eggs to Count. Anjel moved closer to the fire, she yawned; she looked into the fire. She could feel the sleep coming on her right there. Count cracked an egg and let the contents into the grease. The crack made the kitten jump again, this time it faked the jump as an attack on the ball. It didn't do anything. The kitten looked at it puzzled. Count continued to put more eggs in. The smell was becoming more than pleasant. "Oh, check this out." Katz took a towel off a bowl, underneath sliced bread.

The kitten pounced on the ball again. "Where?" asked Anjel. "Oh, one house had four loaves of bread on the window sill." Katz took six pieces out and placed them carefully inside another bowl. She took it over to Count, and handed it to him. She took hold of the skillet, her hand covered with a big glove. "Place the bread on the grill." Katz spun the grease around the eggs. The kitten was back at it again, the little monster made her look bad in front of them. Oooh she stood back and raised up, all the little hair on her back raised. Count placed the bread over the fire.

Katz set the skillet down. The kitten pounced. She went back to Count and gave him a plate, he took the plate and flipped the bread, it was getting nice and brown. The ball was being destroyed, the kitten had no mercy; it was bad. "Breakfast." "Huh." Anjel snapped out. "Breakfast." "Oh, I think I will just sleep here." "Probably a good idea." He took two pieces of bread off and put them on the plate.

Anjel walked over to Katz and got bacon and eggs. Katz placed a fork, spoon and knife on her plate. Count moved the other bread around. The kitten won again. Everyone ate including the kitten, it slept in Katz arms. Anjel slept inside the door open. Count was looking around.
