Happy Father's day to all of you.

Such great foodie pics!

Lance, no one in my life here appreciates the planning and work required to have every item hot and ready at the same time. Mrs. does not understand the concept, which frustrates me.

There is a park near my home.

The county had a 'Juneteenth event' there yesterday with fireworks in the evening.

10,000 people there [I just pulled that number out of...] all on their cell phones so my Internet was s - l - o - w [my Internet is via a cellular router], it could take two minutes for a GLP page to load, while oddly Mrs. still could have 4K UHD video play on the TV from YouTube.

I got a working network driver for the wireless board I put in and got a number of updates installed and removed Office 2016.

I gave up on the Internet as the updates that installed last night took over five hours, and web browsing was an effort in futility.

I'm chillin' in the den, gonna go turn that PC on outside, and work on it from my laptop here in the den, it needs Office 365 installed, then I can lather, rinse, repeat next weekend as I have another PC to turn up and use as local backup for the files on our phones, laptops, etc.

So I plan on spending my day quietly, a little buzzed, a little drunk, and very achy from the walking to and from the backyard table yesterday.

Mrs. bought a huge steak she said she will cook for us [for me!] today, though she was awake all night burning a huge pile of wood debris she has gathered up from around the yard so I suspect she'll sleep through dinner time.

Dang! I am slow today, I just noticed the time, I believe I started writing this before 9:00 AM.

Para - what brand washer? Where many of the Maytag / Whirlpool / Kenmore begin leaking is at the bearing beneath the wash tub. They can be replaced, if that is the issue.

If the washer needs replaced, there's always the Habitat for Humanity Restore where I buy used appliances, or if you're lucky a Sears Service Center / Factory Outlet where I bought our washer for close to $700 less than retail because it had a one-inch dent near the floor on the side that goes against the wall, may be near you.
