We have another storm moving in and I'm going to go do something that doesn't involve working on the computer. We were lucky the last time! Be back later.

Back.
Things have settled down so unless we get a "pop-up" it looks like we're done with "weather" for the night. We didn't have any more nearby lightning strikes thank goodness. Just periods of heavy rain with some thunder. I will now make more tea and get caught up.

Skywise is home, the weather is quiet and I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Summer has officially arrived and boy, it's BRIGHT out there! Shocked

And the cat just hurled on the stairs. What a way to bring on summer. *SIGH*

Afternoon.
We're back from Greenwood. Skywise got what he needs to fix the roof. He has to work today so he'll do it tomorrow.
Now to cool off and get caught up.

Since there are no storms in the forecast and therefore no chance of lightning strikes, I'll be doing laundry today.  Smiley Along with other things.

*sigh* I not making a whole lot of progress on anything except the laundry and I've hit a roadblock there 'cause one of the kits is taking a lengthy nap in the middle of the clothes I need to wash. I guess I'll go work on the Utility Transport.

The Urban Terrain Utility Transport is ready to field test! Smiley I have a feeling that the handle may need to be upsized from 1/2 to 3/4 inch diameter but that's easily done. The next thing to determine is if I can get it in the back of the van with the handle on it or if I'll have to take it off. I'll find that out tomorrow. Right now, need snackie and to get prone for a bit.

The Orphan Black season finale was AWESOME! MIND BLOWN!!!

We're going to town after a while, and I'll be in and out in the time before we leave.

Afternoon.
I've been in and out all day. We're back from lunch so I'm "in" for the day.
The first field test of the Utility Transport revealed a couple of problems that aren't insurmountable and I'll make the changes before the 4th when we'll be taking it out and using it for the first time under "combat" conditions -- specifically, Martinsville's fireworks display at the city park! THAT and the parade in October (and the go-cart races in May if they have them next year) is what the UT-UT was built for.

Time to start dinner.
Chicken and noodles with homemade noodles.....Smiley It will take a while to fix -- the chicken is still frozen -- but that's okay. It's worth it.

Early rollout for us. Son has a doc's appointment before school so we're leaving in less than an hour. Not sure what time I'll be home, we can't drop off his prescription until 9 my time so we'll be doing other stuff before and after we do that.

My hair is washed, but I still have to get dressed and slap the "warpaint" on and do the hair. Tongue

Morning.
We're heading out too. We need to stop at the bank and I need some PVC pipe to finish the UT-UT. Be back in a while.

The depth of idiocy and ignorance in this world never ceases to amaze me... Since when is one race "superior" to another? And how in the hell does my First Nations blood affect someone who lives in the UK and has NO TIES to Canada? "Royal heritage", my.......... big toe......... Roll Eyes

There is only ONE "race" on this planet - the human race. The so called "races" are no more or less than "classifications" based -- usually -- on skin color and distinctive facial features. The fact that all the "races" are effortlessly fertile with each other and produce viable and fertile offspring is pretty definite proof that we're all one species.

Exactly. I wound up blocking the snot, on both my public and personal profiles to be safe. "Unless you're an Inuit, your from Europe!" was one of the things aimed at me... Um, NOPE.... Someone was screaming I wasn't saying any facts, yet that was so screwed up and WRONG that I almost spit the Pepsi all over the monitor because I was laughing so damn hard! Idiot, to be blunt.

Oh, by the way, I'm now the lost princess of the Mi'kMaq... Just in case anyone didn't know! Wink

Sorry, had to zip to the school to pick up the little guy. There wasn't a set schedule for classes today and it threw him off. Poor kid. Sad He's okay now, he's chilling with bowling stuff and Star Trek. Cheesy

I wind up running into them on equality pages... The twits lurk then deliberately try starting a flame war backed by BS... Smiley Meanwhile, people like me are sitting there posting facts and we're blasted by the bigots for "loving everyone" and "spewing lies". Roll Eyes

I admit showing that one that Aboriginal Peoples of North America are NOT "European" was a hoot, but I tired of it all after a while... A friend of mine, who is also Aboriginal by blood and in heart like I am, said we're all "doomed" about the incorrect statement about Inuits and the rest of the Nations.... He's right.... Oy....  Smiley

Whoever thinks that the North American Aboriginals are "European" better get their facts straight.... Else people like me will poke in with the truth and they'll look like the stupidest person online... Just saying......

Smiley Last "I" looked, the North American Aboriginals came to this continent from Asia via a land bridge over what is now the Bering Strait -- which includes the Inuits as well unless I'm mistaken. So "Asian" might be correct but not European.

You are dead on with that, Penth. There is DNA proof that some of the Nations have some of the same DNA as some of the Russians, so yeah, "Asian" yes, "European", NOPE. Wink

And to further muddy the DNA waters, there's evidence that in those areas that "hosted" Genghis Khan and his party boys they left more than a little of their DNA behind. Which only goes to prove that no one "race" is completely "pure."

DRAT! I hear thunder and the radar looks like it is broke out in acne. What's heading this way looks like it's losing strength but that could change. I'm going to shut things down until the storm passes. Be back later.
