Good afternoon to all
Good Day Joy - Hope things on your side of the universe are pleasant today.
Been a weekend - some good some bad. two of the three boys have had the stomach bug,.. really hoping we don't have another three victims.
Had a good visit with family Saturday, and am looking forward for the other family this afternoon. Assisted my FIL (Father in Law) work on his mower and getting it running again. Really he did all the work, all I did was help put it back together.General house work, and after a week of having a new Heat Pump, it's running. Weather just was nice enough to not need it until now.

Yeah I dropped that cold turkey back in 2001 when the doctor told me I was making myself diabetic.
-
I just drink water.
-
Despite not drinking much lastnight I'm hungover as !)(#*%& today. Feel like something the cat dragged in, ugh.
I think I'm getting old and it's crap.

The computer gods demand regular sacrifices and my users rarely let them down. 2m drop onto concrete, twisted the chassis and popped the north bridge? off the mobo, HDD spins but scrapes the head on the platters and then parks over and over.

Good morning to all!
Coffee time. Finally weekend for me, Can't wait to see the beach lols -

Good morning! Just heading to bed here after polishing off a few bottles of wine.

Sitting out front of my dad's house relaxing after playing Ingress all afternoon. Walked for about 3 hours doing it.

Just learned what that was last night from my houseguests, by coincidence.

Got back from Morocco last night. Had a good time. Spent way too much money. Had my ATM card compromised by a skimmer at the Gare Fes. But we are home safe and sound.
-
@scottalanmiller Owch owch owch. Hopefully you got it recovered before they cleaned you out!
-
Yup, it was in Morocco so as @dominica had guessed (we think) they were not using WiFi to get the data off but were collecting manually so we had a few hours. The bank account was NOT told to allow use in Africa so would likely have locked with any more usage and our daily transfer limit was already nearly done (we are capped at $400 and had done about $205 already) and we had moved nearly all of the money in the account into a savings account that is not tied to the card. So the total potential damage was limited.
Had no phone or Internet access but were able to text my dad who called the local bank in New York, told them what happened in the middle of the night and they shut off the card before we were to the next city. So the window for someone to take money was tiny.
We checked the account this morning and they didn't get anything. So we lucked out AND got the authentic Moroccan experience of having an ATM panic and having to shut off our cards.

Overall, Morocco was much safer and less worrisome than we have heard that it used to be. They have "tourist military" that work directly for the crown and patrol tourist areas looking for scammers and stuff. We saw a guy try to scam us on a train and take quick flight when a military patrol stationed itself outside of our train cabin. Conductors and military were always keeping an eye out for us, not for safety like physical danger, but to keep us safe from people trying to harass us for money or to buy things from them or whatever.
At no point did we ever feel that we were in danger. The scariest thing that almost happened was that we almost missed a train which, in turn, would have meant missed a ferry. But customer service at the Gare Fes took care of us there too.

Got to work late because my car was broken into last night. They got my GPS (well, my Garmin...they left the Tom Tom) and my iPod. They didn't bother with the monitors, printers, and server I had in the backseat, so I'm figuring idiots with a crowbar...
-
I wasn't the only one on the street either who had their vehicle broken into.
-
That's a crappy way to start the day.
-
Second Monday's suck.
@scottalanmiller Glad you got back safe and without any additional incidents.
@handsofqwerty That also stinks. Thing about GPS units, is they will go after the set favorites, case them, and determine if there is a larger 'haul' over the car. Why you should never tag your HOME or Family locations as they could be targeted.
-
That really sucks.
But you left servers in your back seat!?
