    Coffee Thread

    In the Spirit of Hogger's weekly update post:

    Just sipping some black Maxwell House colombian coffee here.

    About 20 below here, and we have a small space heater running and our bedroom window plasticked and taped up. Cold enough here to freeze the knackers off a bronzed primate.

    I dunno if I'm gonna do this weekly- I miss the originals.
    For those of you wondering about the forum, don't be dissuaded by the skeletonized white background version of the forum- it still works, with most of the things we need in small type blue highlighting. Don't be fazed by the the repeated log-in requests- I have to log in for every reply and post I make here. A bit of patience, armed with a good set of drug store readers will almost make this place seem normal.

    Regards,

    Thanks for posting. We were dying on the vine.

    As far as the forum appearance goes, all is normal here except for the brief mentions I made before. Whatever happened (here) cured itself within a couple of days.

    Temps here for the past few days have been 60's to near 70 with mostly sunshine, then down to near freezing at night. Next Tuesday is predicted to go down to 18. Cold for us and extra freeze protection required.

        There's what the forum looks like on the main page for most of us on Win 10 after the latest round of up-dates from M/S.
        The rest of it is much similar.

        Forum is normal on my Android based phone, which is a real pain to post with due to the smaller screen and key-pad.

        Regards,

            I'm pretty sure it's the M/S Edge browser with it's non-beta tested A/I that's doing it.

                  Tried to mail a letter this morning but the mailbox door was frozen shut. I think the low was only 28 last night but since it is almost always wet and raining here a little freeze goes a long way. And yes, it rained too.

                    forum is funky , that is all I can say about that,
                    as I type on my ancient Windows 7 Dell,

                    the other laptops I use are as pictured

                    meanwhile, big small gunshow in Hampton,

                    had a great show, very very busy,

                    and did Lobby Day (VCDL event for no more gun control) at the State Capitol yesterday,

                      The last few years the cold snaps have occurred as far South as central Florida causing the iguanas to get stunned and fall out of the trees. I didn't even know FL had iguanas till this started happening.

                      We had our beneficial cold snap of 19 degrees last night with more on the way.

                        Frost on the roofs in the morning, Boganvillas are turning brown, mulberry still has some leaves; but for the most part I'm still shoveling sunshine off my driveway in Phoenix

                            Lots of videos on You Tube of people shooting the iguanas with air rifles. Unbelievable how they have multiplied in Florida from people releasing pets. Golf courses hire people to come in and shoot them.

                              What needs to be done at the Southern border. I don't think they have iguanas though.
