Whats up guys!

[Shaggy Hiker]

RD. Haven't seen you around in a long time.

[Shaggy Hiker]

How ya doing?

[RobDog888]

I've been good, just so overloaded with work. Im all into coding MVC C# now. I don't think I've written any VB.NET code in many years now.

How about you? Getting ready for a springtime walkabout?

[dday9]

Woah. Talk about a blast from the past.

[dday9]

Snow avatar and all.

Same. My day job is basically only MVC C# but I still do some contract work in VB.NET desktop land.

[dday9]

Ah, the navy blue font too!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oddly, I've just started getting into Razor pages with C#, though I don't intend to make a habit of it. In fact, in a little over a year, I don't intend to make a habit of work, either. On the other hand, the hiking and biking are looming larger. I'll be going on roughly a 500 mile walkabout in mid-June. Crossing Oregon on the PCT.

Glad I am remembered!

Snow avatar and all.

LOL yea I need to find my non-christmas in July avatar

Ah, the navy blue font too!

Yup, old habits are hard to break. Started typing my post and it automatically came out without thinking about it.. Guess about 60K posts doing it manuually it will folow me to my death bed "lol"

Im doing Razor pages for almost 7 years now. Hopefully soon Ill be able to slow things down, working 7 days a week for a couple years has gotten old but not the money

[Shaggy Hiker]

Well, it's certainly different for me. I haven't used a razors for a couple decades, by now.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I edited that last post to add a final period.

[Peter Swinkels]

Are you starting to copy my bad habits now? XP

Birth to a feather, flock together! LOL

[Shaggy Hiker]

Birth to a feather?

[Peter Swinkels]

Google provided that as a translation for "waar je mee omgaat, word je mee besmet" - it looks weird to me too.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The phrase is "Birds of a feather flock together." It's roughly the same meaning, to be sure.

[dday9]

It looks like we have our quick reply buttons back.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah. They've come and gone. Now they're back. Will they remain this way?

Man DST really hit me hard this year. Didn't get up till 11 today. Us old people don't like change. lol

Yeah we've been running into that all day. Late start, thinking we had time that we didn't have between things. A feeling at 4PM that it surely must be 2:00 or something?

We'll just have to see whether we've adapted tomorrow. Old folks don't live by the clock so much. We sleep right through the old shift change whistle back at the salt mines.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That reminds me of a time, back in college, when my alarm went off and I got up, dressed, grabbed my notebook, and headed off to class....only to find everybody else from the dorm standing around outside in pajamas. Turns out, it was the fire alarm. I had an early morning class, so I was conditioned to just get going without really waking up.

[Zvoni]

ZZ Top look-a-like??

That said: to get this Thread back on track (way to serious):

In another Forum a User asked what the abbreviation FFTL stands for (I think it was a shorthand for some band?).
One "helpful" user answered: Farting faster than light

I just thought: Huh? You can smell it before it leaves?!?!?!

Well, you better be able to smell it before you can SEE it...or else you have some major problems....or your shorts do.

[Shaggy Hiker]

As for the ZZ Top, I've been there, but I do tend to trim. Scissors, though, not razors.

That's my dog. Whatsaaaaaap!!!

DAAAA-YAM!!! Whats up! Its like a VBF reunion lol

Paranoid much?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Perhaps my beard hasn't gotten quite that long, ever, but close.

[dday9]

It kind of sounds like a "softer" version of a Down song.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I'm down with that.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Winter has ended. Summer will be here in a few days.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oddly, we made it to about average snowpack for the year. I didn't think that would happen, but there were a lot of little storms, and it all added up. The northern part of the state didn't make it, but the southern half did.

[wes4dbt]

Yeah CA did well this year too. I wasn't sure because a lot of the storms were warm coming up from the south pacific. Lots of rain but not much snow. But had a cold stormy Feb. That's two years in a row. After a 10yr drought that's good news.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It sure started out weak. Strong finish, though.

[wes4dbt]

Another SpaceX failure https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news...134934903.html

Not a lot of true successes in this area recently. I wonder why, this isn't really new technology. But I'm sort of a pessimist on this approach anyway. Don't see much to be gained. Just read an article on Voyager 1, it's only 15 billion miles away after 47yrs.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to dispose of a partially functional stereo system? I bought this system back in the early 90s, and it is finally failing. I've replaced it, but I'm not sure what to do with the old one. It had a now-discontinued, CD changer, which is no longer reliably working, nor would it be easy to use even if it was working, since it used cartridges that are long since discontinued. The FM antenna connection is wearing out, too.

Basically, I don't think it is worth anything, so I could throw it out, but that seems kind of wrong. Perhaps it could be parted out?

[wes4dbt]

How about giving it away on Craigs list?

[dday9]

I'm the wrong guy to ask.

My grandfather was a hoarder, but my dad was basically the exact opposite. He either threw everything away or gave it away.

So part of me says hold onto it forever and another part of me says give it away what is it still doing in your house.
