Welcome Back, Drac!

Congrats Draclvr

Great news Drac

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Drac that is good news your internet is back and running! Fogfighter hope your issues are resolved. We have the wild fire smoke returning today and tomorrow and that will affect our air quality. I will walk early before it becomes and issue.

Hope you all enjoy a "tootin" Tuesday!

Good morning everyone. We're continuing with triple digit 'feels like' temps down here in LA (lower Alabama) so must get our walks in early. Enjoying a cup of WADDB and will come back for bagels.

Wishing you all a Tootin Toosday!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, I'm glad your internet issues are resolved. Another hot humid day here. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone,

It's a beautiful morning, and not too hot.

I'm off to yoga, and then later on I have to do some watering around the garden. We don't have a hosepipe ban, so we can use a hose and spray nozzle, but even so it's a lot of work. I filled the water feature right up to the vey brim so it should be good for a few weeks.

Hopefully the wildfire smoke over the south Island won't trigger another asthma attack. That last one was the worst I've had.

Good Tuesday morning. Man, it's nice to just enjoy my WADDB while I take care of things to do on my computer!

Finally getting some nice tomatoes. I picked about 8 huge Cherokee Purples yesterday. It's so hot in the tomato forest! I did some work in there and then had to grab a cold frosty adult beverage and jump in the pool to cool off!

Finally met our new neighbors. They moved in early in June, but we wanted to give them some time to get settled and then the Germans arrived, so we just haven't introduced ourselves. I was on the way home from the grocery store and just stopped in. Super nice people... they are both retired, so it's very quiet over there! We kind of liked the noise and chaos of the little kids and the dogs, but we'll take quiet too.

Good morning. We are under a tornado warning right now. May shut my computer down but I get nervous and like to have something to occupy me. I really have no "safe place" in this house to go to.

A lesser worry is to get the plumber back and I don't think my brother bought a very good faucet.

I hope you all enjoy your Tuesday.

Out of the woods for now!

Good news about your internet, Draclvr 👍

Here in the UK we are on the first day of our FIFTH heatwave of this year 😮
[So sick of heat !!]

So it looks as though my laptop is not really repairable, according to the two repair services I contacted. One of them had some rather choice words about Dell and the demise of the Alienware brand and Dell service.

That being the case, I am now going to start researching desktops in earnest. I still have the information about that Viper Raptor with the Ultra 9 processor.

Thanks for the update. I know some of us have been wondering what the outcome was.

Yes, what oldbroad said. I was hoping the battery might be the problem, but considering the convolutions you've had to go through with this laptop lemon, I wasn't hopeful. I've also had some choice words about Dell and how they destroyed the Alienware brand. I've steered two people away from the Dell brand since you've had all these issues.

It's a drag, but this laptop always felt a little...flimsier...than my first Alienware.

A nice solid desktop with a big screen sounds good new.

Good morning everyone...keep calm and carry on, we're halfway thru the week. Emergency rations and Hawaii Kona brew to start us off this morning.

Hagatha, we've been getting our desktop gaming PCs from eCollegePC...Mike builds awesome gaming PCs.

Have a wonderful day

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Tuesday morning. We are heading towards 100 degrees F temps by the weekend. I only work outside in the early evenings when it's like this!

Hagatha, what Dell SHOULD have done is simply replaced that laptop for you. It probably would have been cheaper for them too. I agree with you - I LOVE my desktop and especially my 27 inch curved monitor! Witcher 3 looks so good on it! Soot, I WISH ecollegepc would build for Canada where hagatha is!

Have a great day Boomers.

Ah...I was wondering about that

...taxes and tariffs

Good morning.

It's raining! It wasn't forecast, but the garden really needs it. I hope it keeps up for at least a couple of hours.

Taxes and tariffs indeed! Plus the exchange rate! However, Revenue Canada overcharged me by a lot last year, so I have a nest egg earmarked for the computer.

The storms knocked out my power yesterday morning and they are saying I'll be off until Friday afternoon.
