I'm in half a mind to go home early, but only have 1/2 an hour left to spend half of that time in here....

Come back around when we're ready for the 50K mark. We love it here when interlopers steal the big milestones.

Interlopers??? I resemble that one !!

LLL?

My dad used to drink, and when he got lit, he liked to call people.
In 1976, my brother Mike was in the navy stationed at Homestead AFB in Florida. I was recently paroled from high school and living at my dad's and he was drinking. I was, too, but Dad was a professional.
We hadn't heard from Mike for awhile and Dad tried to call him. Got through to the CQ (Charge of Quarters) at his barracks who said he'd check if my brother was in his room. I'm using Air Force terms because I don't know what the Navy calls CQs and barracks.
He came back after a few minutes and said Mike was not there. Well, if you knew Mike, you knew he never went anywhere.
 
Dad tried again a little later and got the same response. Knowing Mike was probably in his room watching TV and eating pizza and the CQ was maybe just putting Dad on hold while he continued to watch his own TV, my dad decided to go over the CQ's head.
He called the White House!
As luck would have it, the officer on duty was an admiral. Dad informed the admiral that he was a retired Air Force Master Sergeant and that he couldn't reach his son, and could the admiral help him?
The officer agreed to help.
It wasn't 3 minutes before Mike was on the phone, "Dad, what's going on? Some admiral from the White House just called and told me I had better call my dad immediately!"
 
It was like we imagined; he had been in his room watching TV and no one ever knocked on his door.

Same here.
 
MY dad called the White House at like 11PM Cali time demanding to talk to the President. He would not tell me nor the guard on duty why.
 
He also called the Vatican on another occasion expecting that they would put him through to the Pope. He only got as far as the janitor.
 
 

What a day!  Starting at 7:30am (WAY too early) and just ending now (after 3:15am) I've been completely overhauling my PC and old laptop (aka the "Brick").  They now both have Windows 10 (after over a dozen installs, re-installs, attempted upgrades and updates!), are mostly set up preference-wise and with a lot of the applications they will need (about four dozen so far).
 
Now I have two "users" on my main PC.  One for personal and one for work (HUGE improvement!).  Plus I can now log into my laptop remotely which is good since it's directly connected to the router so I can manage backups using that.
 
Still so much left to do though!  Oh well, that can start again later today, time for some sleep!
 
(What's with you guys?  NO additions to this pile of sewage for 18 hours???  Wow...)

Dismal rainy day in Scotland (no! never!). Just changed my clothes and had some lunch before I head back out into it.
Wot a life.

But what did you have for lunch?

Now my normal level of peak efficiency has returned.
 
Yawn.
