Oh well,,,just keep trying.

It’s been behaving pretty well for me so far. Not slow and no errors as of yet but I’ve been popping in and out.

Oy! That heat with humidity sounds even worse than ours. Even the AC doesn’t do much good with the sauna going!

I’ll bet she’s a cutie all right. These wild Indians in my back yard are growing like crazy. I’ll be glad when their mom boots ‘em out so I can have her fixed. As it is, they still depend on her. They’re cute to watch through the glass. If I go out, they scatter.

The full moon is on the 28th, so you’re right. It’s getting them all riled up early. :)

Oy, is right. It sux when it’s so hot and so humid. Makes it hard to go anywhere and I have to do the grocery shopping tomorrow since I’ll be at the museum Wed.

Suvi is a dollbaby. It doesn’t seem like she’s growing at all but she is. She’s just so tiny compared to the others. That makes it even funnier to see the others’ reactions to her tiny attacks. LOL

I wouldn’t count on LBK giving her kittens the boot any time soon. They’ll all stick together unless the kittens are taken away by someone. Pixie still loves on her girlies and heck, Isis still loves on her kids, and they’re almost 9 years old.

I took a peek at the calendar a little while ago and saw the full moon is almost upon us. Haven’t seen much of it lately due to the cloudy weather we’ve had. The timing of the cats’ behavior is about right. They usually get fired up a couple of days before, the night of, and a couple nights after the full moon.

Every one of those folks need to spend just one day working in your office on that stuff to find out what it’s like. That just might teach them a lesson.

Then again, maybe not. LOL

I am more than ready, but my plan is maybe 18 more months...pushing 70 1/2 and have to start taking from IRAs now. Finally got signed up for Social Security and Medicare A earlier this month.

They certainly are all yours! That’s why I asked what you did to FR. I LMAO when I saw all those times your one comment posted. Funniest thing I’ve seen happen here.
Wait until the early birds show up in the morning. You’ll hear more about them. :-)

I did a LORAN-C tour in the New Mexico desert in the 90’s. Right after my tour on the Cherokee. I never got outside of Halifax proper while we were in port. It was a much better port ‘O call than any of us imagined. The Canuks invited us to our sister ship and the Canadians still had drinking on board. We closed down the Chiefs club then went to a local bar that just happened to be Bachman Turner Overdrive’s hometown bar and they let us all in for free and we jammed to BTO till the wee hours of the morning. Next morning it was choppy in the Halifax channel heading out for patrol. As soon as we broke around the jetty it was 30 ft seas and within a half an hour there were 5 of us still alive enough to keep our ship running. Everyone else was down hard or puking their guts out for the next 2 days.

BTO was great!

That was a good ship! The keel was 7 layers thick riveted American steel hull plates from Bethlehem, NY. and the engineroom had 14" steel I beams running vertical thru the space. She won awards for towing wounded battleships out of range of shore artillery in North Africa. 3"-50 on the front and two gun tubs on the back with twin Ma-Deuces. Classic Naval salvage ship but stripped of most of its usefull gear and turned into a Coast Guard cutter.

They decommed her and she became a target down in Rosie Roads naval gun range. She soaked up friendly fire up into this century then was sunk with 2 torpedoes.

One tough ship!
