The Coffee House

And more seriously they said after Watergate they went to General Haig's house, (his son let them in)... Haig told them he'd taken away Nixon's pills because of concern of what he might try to do to himself. Wow was all I could think.

I was young enough to not remember much besides coming home from school and my mom having those hearings on TV.

Aw, but my old eyes can see the numbers and it still fits in my pocket. (But it is top heavy when I text.)

iPads were the intro for the wife and I to Apple (all the rest of the family have only used Apple) that led to iPhones, then a couple MBP's. I could not give up Windows completely so run Parallels and can jump over to my Win only programs - and at home with the extra monitor I often have Windows on one screen and IOS on the other.

Morning kids.
Whatever I get be it a desktop or a laptop the very first thing I'll do is download and install Mozilla Firefox. Sincerely doubt I'll get Apple for the next thing.

Finally after two days of which I allowed it to run overnight, I have finally completed update of Windows 10 version 1709 and a new security software. To early to tell what else it might have screwed up along the way, but for now everything seems to be working. I am on the new Edge browser, which surprisingly appears to be quite a bit faster than Chrome. They have updated it so that it will also run on Android, and now synchs between devices like Chrome. I plan on giving it a shot, just to see how it works, as anytime you can simplify life so much the better.

It's weird that it took so long. Is your internet super slow or is your pc getting old?

Neither, but there were still issues. First with corrupted files, then conflicts with my Antivirus, even after it was uninstalled (left remnants that the windows snooper detected). Then once it updated, there were a gazillion updates to the update. Then had to install new version of Antivirus, and go through all the accumulated updates. Then update several apps that had conflicts with the new version of windows. It's like a domino effect when there is a more than just a minor update to windows.

Went by work to get a few things for my Sister. Seems the new guy had some issues this morning. Two people commented how different I look without a work shirt on. Trish and Kim had a laugh over it.

Time out for a late lunch and then back to the penny thing.

Pure Michigan. 62° and sunny yesterday. Today, snow bomb.

vintagesnaps · Mar 1, 2018

Your snow is at least prettier than gray skies and rain. But I don't really want a lot of snow either! lol so I guess I'll keep the rain. Til the weekend, then it's supposed to be pretty nice, 40ish and not rainy.

I don't know where the day went, I got like nothing done.

davidharmier60 · Mar 1, 2018

I can't seem to make a dent in a pile of copper pennies. I easily have three rolls and maybe even 4 in the pile.

No snow or even rain here.

We just had an experimental Chicken casserole. Not my fave but not terrible.

Every experimental chicken casserole I've tried has been edible. Except one. My boys will gladly point that out. Burger King saved my butt that night. Lol.

But, with a few tweaks, it may lead to a phenomenal meal. Just saying.....

That's how I learned to cook. Trial and error.
