• My Birthday Present

    My Birthday Present

    Cute cow, holds probably 12 to 14 ounces, lovely rounded shape to hold the warmth.

  • Planted Bush Beans on Monday

    Planted Bush Beans on Monday

    7 to 10 days to sprouting. Planted July 14th … Three different bush beans, Yellow Wax, Burgundy, and Green, no signs all week, but this morning, July 17th, there were several green little guys pushing up and by later afternoon, they were more out and some standing tall already. Wow! Very exciting!

  • Tomorrow is my Birthday

    Tomorrow is my Birthday

    Daughter and I made my cake and frosted it this afternoon. What is it? Something darkly horrid to make as a layer cake, but we did. Black Magic Cake. To see the crumbs in the frosting? Can’t be helped. My newer (for some years already) favorite frosting Vanilla Frosting from America’s Test Kitchen cookbook which…

  • Looking for …

    This is a strange day. Time is crawling. Massive thunderstorm mid to late afternoon, just quiet now the last hour. It’s 6:19pm. I feel weird, like it’s bedtime. Maybe I do need to just go to sleep. At any rate for days I’ve been looking for my lost rca to optical cable converter. I had…

  • Migraine or Sick or Both?

    July 10 was by hubbies birthday. That night my head felt weird. The surface around the brain is what I imagined it was, like a bad migraine coming in. But it continued on, nearly light headed but not. I took Excedrin just in case. Woke up in the middle of the night with a medicine…

  • Now we’re talking!

    Now we’re talking!

    My main Desktop only has the one cat6 from the XB8 green line port directly, finally clicked all along I could have done this on my old Arris modem a aaaaaaaaaauuuuugggggg gggggghhhhhh. My goal is to get a 2.5 switch and whatever cable lengths I need to get pc and emby server and PS5 included…

  • No WiFi 7

    No WiFi 7

    Finally got the dumb box from UPS. XB8 in the box with a power cord and a coax cable. No ethernet cord(s) Wi-Fi 7 was a lie. Hopefully we can get one in the next few months. Best we get is Wi-Fi 6e, my S24 Ultra is getting a tad better numbers on speedtest by…

  • Getting things done for Wi-Fi 7 and networking!

    Getting things done for Wi-Fi 7 and networking!

    I just ordered 2 of the MSI Herald-BE WI-FI 7 MAX (Wi-Fi 7, 802.11BE, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe, Multi-Link Operation Technology, External Antenna) on Amazon for the 2 pc’s in my house that do not have WIFI cards on the motherboard, nor any WIFI solution available. WIFI 7 is expensive and the above cards were CHEAP…

  • Xfinity, XB10, Wifi 7

    Xfinity, XB10, Wifi 7

    I’ve been trying to figure out how in the H*** to get switched over to Wifi7 in our house. We are using google wifi, yeah, the early version. Wifi 5. Darn wifi mesh is expensive. Darned plain Wifi7 routers alone are pricey. So with Xfinity redoing plans lately, seems they are sending out XB10’s which…

  • Misery After Busy

    Yesterday I was destined to have a crash. I got up, did Shiljit in my coffee, water, supplements, yadayadayada. Got rolls baking. When done, set oven higher for my loaf bread. Got that baking and when it came out, oh darn I am HUNGRY!!! Took myself away to ignore it long enough for it to…
