Being totally lazy here, but then isn't that what vacations are for?...Getting ready to head out to the casinos for a little while and then back here for a margarita, maybe by the pool.

Did some things around the house this morning then yard work in the afternoon and back is telling me I did too much.
This morning the news said rain supposed to start this evening - got cloudy in the afternoon but clear skies now.

Another break (puff pant wheeze)
In 1974, a blue arc from where 12,470 VAC came through the ceiling of a saw mill in Port Gamble, WA hit me in the back and knocked me off a ladder. I am lucky to be alive, but the circuit was completed from right shoulder to right leg and my heart was not stopped (though I was unconscious for awhile). In 1961, a bolt of lightning hit a power pole under which I was riding my bike (paper route). The pole shattered and the air concussion knocked me off my bike and I woke up in the middle of the street. In 2005, lightning hit the metal roof of this house (which I have well grounded), but I was standing at the back door watching the sky when that happened, and again, the concussion knocked me on my ...., and my eyes were blurry for hours (dang that was bright). It also fried a lot of appliances in the house. Never take it for granted 'cause it can turn you to toast when you least expect it. And we don't want to lose our Katz...

It is power lines, dear. The wire can carry anywhere from 240 VAC to several thousand volts (depends on which wires from which poles) and, in most cases, your tires will be sufficient insulation to stop you from being grounded (if you're not grounded, "normally" the juice doesn't transit your body), but a lightning bolt is a million volts DC and it can jump from the frame to ground (what tires?) and if you are in the path of the completed circuit, the buzzards will find you to be extremely well done. It takes about 1 Amp AC going through your heart to stop it. 0.1 Amp DC can do the same thing (so don't stick your tongue on a car battery)....what..no standing on pickups to watch the storm??

Am I the only one that's missing some notifications when you login? Normally, the little thing at the top of the page lists them, but now it seems to be "missing" some thread updates.

I've had that happen from time to time. In the past, I've also had certain threads "hide" later pages until after I make a post in certain threads. I think ECF just gets a case of the hiccups now and then and it effects certain users. So.... tag, you're it!

Sitting, waiting for the fireworks at the closing of the county Fair. Didn't actually expect to be home early enough to catch them.
Catch y'all later. Enjoy your evening.

Well, despite being rather slow-thinking today, I at least managed to get a toe-hold on what needs to be done... tomorrow.
Good night, Treefam!

sorry. All of Jellystone sits inside a giant caldera (like a huge crater, but created by explosive volcanic eruption that leaves a giant bowl-shaped hole in the state). The size indicates that sometime in the past, that puppy blew with enough force to throw rocks all the way to the Great Lakes area. What is under Jellystone is a magma chamber, gurgling and hissing (the heating coil for all those geysers and hot springs) more than normal, suggesting another eruption in the not-too-distant future. I hope I am not here when it happens...
When I logged on here this morning, I had 37 alerts, but not one of them was from this thread. I had to open up yesterday's alerts (show all) and the most recent one was yesterday. When I clicked that, it brought me to the end of Page 2 (we're now on page 5). So yeah, "stuff" happens...
At the risk of sounding like I am correcting your word usage... OK, my personality profile is Analyst Debater, so I guess I am correcting...
