BYC Café

[Bunnylady]

My in-house IT guy is happy as a clam - he just installed a new router/modem. I kept hearing him chortling with glee as he learned about all the new features on this one. The completely seamless transition surprised me - previously, each device had to be introduced into the system individually. This one assumed control, and my laptop never knew the difference (though I do - things are suddenly loading a whole lot faster).

Installing it wasn't all that seamless, though. It was a sort of "Catch 22" situation - it couldn't access the internet until it was activated, and it couldn't be activated without an internet connection. A call to the provider was made, and a certain amount of yelling occurred as the automated menu was navigated, but eventually an actual human was reached, and with his assistance, we are channeling Steve Austin as we cruise through hyperspace - better, stronger, faster than before (though for a lot less that $6 million).

Beats peein' on the porch.
Around here be careful what you offer.

That's exactly what I was thinking....

Touche' - and now, that is not an offer to touch a tushy, lol.

I think on a whole BYC users use some awesome vocabulary. That is why my stats are so high. I get your vocabulary and dynamic writing style credited to me.
I suppose when people use ru and lol I get dinged, but, hey, I think Grammarly needs to lighten up.

I love vocabulary - I have always enjoyed learning new words.
NOT a fan of text speak

The IT kid does all that.
I somehow messed up the reception for netflix a while back and we just did not watch tv for a month.
My neighbor took three minutes and fixed it for us.
I have analog brain.
This morning my husband was pressing buttons on the alarm clock and cursing because as he said,'There are 12 buttons on this thing and all I want to do it turn it off!

Howdy folks. Coffee is on.

It's almost Friday Morning,
Looks like more rain is on the way this morning

Wishing that I liked mud as much as I did when I was 60 years younger.

Morning guys. I'll have some coffee please.

Scott, I saw a tv show about a house that was made out of mud. The exterior. I think I have enough to build a small mansion now!

Good morning everyone
I am trying to get the house into shape for thing 2 birthday. I cleaned the yard yesterday and used the beefeater, my shoulders and arms ache...but the back yard looks great.

Good morning, the dogs actually slept a little later this morning. Might be because of all the "action" last evening.

As soon as DH shut down the Bobcat the coyotes started yipping. The plott hound was down in the field, racing back and forth howling, because they were on our side of the river. About 100 yards from the house. DH got the shotgun, which made the plott hound happy, and headed down to the river, dog glued to his hip. The lab, who is generally scared of such things stayed on the porch with me. Miss Wiggles, who has selective hearing, slept through the whole thing. No animals were injured...yet! Tomorrow we are going to have to go down there and find what I suspect is a carcass of a deer, as Tonka rolled in something AGAIN. He got another bath....sigh, I don't know if I can take this much excitement. The coyotes game back at 2am.

Last day of work for this week, have a good one everybody!

LOL, I was trying to figure out what sort of new fangled equipment I needed to familiarize myself with. Hope the birthday goes smoothly - how old is thing 2 going to be?

Yikes - funny you should mention coyotes, I saw one Tuesday - first one I have actually *seen* in the 13 years we've lived here (they were a common sight/sound back home) - driving into town for work and there it was, just standing about 20 yards off from the highway in the middle of a field. I like Miss Wiggles approach to excitement, sleep through it and hear about it in the morning......

You know, won't be too long and those of us currently being deluged will be complaining about it being too dry -- I think we just might actually see a whole day with no rain today here

That's some good gin right there, but a bit expensive to be cleaning the yard with!
