    Well, our clocks already sprung. I don't pay attention to the celestial spring, just the biological spring: Geese start showing up on top of buildings so they can hiss at me (I seem to cause them particular offense), flowers start blooming, and so on.

    They are only somewhat mean. If they were REALLY mean, they'd improve their aim.

    Actually, Canada Geese are not as mean as lots of other geese. They are nowhere near as aggressive. The only time I had one come after me was when I was on a bike and suddenly came up on a pair with goslings. The goose herded the goslings into a pond, while the gander came after me. Darn near anything would react the same way when surprised, so I wasn't bothered by it. That guy never got me, either. Mostly a bunch of flapping and hissing. All sound and fury.

    Now I'm having the second bathroom remodeled at the rental house. Its a total gut job. Seems yesterday when they turned off the power they did something to knock out all the power to the garage. Never fails, one job creates multiple repair jobs.

    Re: Post Race!

    Yeah. I found a bit of a leak under my kitchen sink. At first, I felt it was just a bad joint on the P-trap. Having had a closer look at it, I realize that the P-trap isn't a conventional P-trap. Somebody manufactured their own in such a way that it doesn't really work with any standard sink drain. The leak has to do with trying to connect standard 1.5" drain pipe to 2" ABS built such that one of the junctions is always under water. I'll never get that sealed well enough with just a compression coupling, so I need to...do something else. I just haven't figured out quite what I'm going to do, yet. I could either extend the 2" ABS to move the joint higher, or replace the whole P-trap arrangement with conventional stuff. I kind of like it, because the oversized P-trap is very clog-resistant.

    I think this is a tricky thing to do. Whatever you do dont put up some sort of paywall there are so many tutorial sites out there your web traffic would just disappear.

    Re: Post Race!

    @szlamany: So, why that choice? The specs look pretty nice, though you didn't mention whether or not it has an SSD drive, which I'm totally sold on these days. But still, I assume you looked around, so what was the selling point for you?

    I keep toying with upgrading...then I remember that there is nothing working poorly on what I have, so what can I gain that is worth the money?

    Yeah my desktop is 3yrs old and Win 7 and I'm itching for a new machine but this one works great and I have upgraded it to a SSD. But I'm retired now and don't need to worry about keeping up with my clients machine, plus I have a Win 10 surface pro. So I can't find a real reason to fork out $1,000. But as soon as one comes out with truly new features, I probably jump on it.

    My new place of employment just migrated to Windows 10 - this was one of two laptop models they are going to support (they image workstations and laptops and must have everyone running the same hardware).

    It does have an SSD drive - boots really fast (of course windows 10 now "saves" the kernel on disk and re-boot simply "restores" to that).

    Just got SQL installed this morning - seems to run well so far. Got to get VS installed next...

    Re: Post Race!

    I took a job with one of my bigger clients (had this client since 1988). They had an IT guy (that I worked with in the 1980's) retiree - replaced him with a job jumper - lasted a bit more than a year. He left - and I thought... health benefits, two pensions vested in 5 years - keep my existing clients (now I work twice as many hours!). It's been interesting to say the least! And I went and landed a new school in Texas two months ago (college). I'm doing a custom housing system for them now followed by a Food Ordering system for on campus catering.

    It's nice being comfortable with change!!

    Well, that's a good thing. That pension can sure ease retirement concerns a bit. Not many of those around anymore, though.

    Re: Post Race!

    I go up to my mom's room (my parents were at the conference too) and tell her what happened because she's a big sports fan and we start looking up keywords on Google like "TV", "Cincinnati Reds", and "Pitcher" until I found a picture of him and I was like "THAT'S HIM!"
