Well, great. Going into lockdown (7 days) with an hour and a half warning. This is with my MIL in the local hospital and a few other related (get it?) dramas. Lucky my styrene and other greeble supplies arrived today...

Well you can blame that goose that visited his wife (covid positive) in Sydney and then took his kids up to Byron. He is not cooperating with contact tracers apparently. Throw the book at him

CAD training got in the way of rocketry.
The Invisible Plane I have been hearing for a few years just flew over the house. I have been hearing it about this time[3:30am] for years. It was going south west to north east. In an hour or so it will come back. The reason I call it invisible is that it flies with out nav lights. It was a lot louder a couple of years ago. You could hear it for 5 minutes. Now I could only hear it for a minute or so. Probably out of Edwards AFB. My guess would be the B21. Or the new 6th generation fighter they have been talking about.

Dealing with a skunked dog..
Our little guy (With a HUGE ego & attitude: a Terrier) decided to 'show up' a skunk.. Of course the skunk also had some, as it wanted under the deck where we were finishing off our Sunday family BBQ..

Mentor Graphics Xpedition, tied in with our Agile life-cycle management (including integrated version control and ECO management etc). Our ECAD and MCAD systems are coming together in an integrated manner. What I have seen so far makes sense and is an improvement. The MCAD system is Siemens NX. Siemens own Mentor Graphics too.
Finished and delivered my daughter's wedding cake and made it to the wedding on time.
Yes, here's a photo after I added brackets to hold a box for groceries. The most I have hauled home from the store is 30 lbs. I was able to get home in the same time it takes me to use my car. (And, it was a lot more fun.)
Cleaned the pool. Had a bunch of pine needles in it. I have to take care of some weeds later.

Apparently he was checking out local real estate looking for an investment property. He went to Casino, Kyogle, Nimbin, Lismore, Byron and a few other places.
Unfortunately you can't legislate against stupidity, but you can against endangering others. Forget throwing the book at him, just hit him in the nuts with it a few times.
Now, now, let's not be violent. Remember, "throw the book at him" is short for throwing every charge in the book at him, not an actual attack by book hurling.
But then, maybe throw a few of books at him, national, state, and local.

Bailiff, whack his pee pee.
Today I enjoyed six hours in the ER, mostly waiting. Shortness of breath and pressure in the chest. Not a heart attack but angina. They're keeping me overnight for observation but I'm okay for the most part. What exactly is the fascination that hospitals have with jello with fruitlike objects embedded therein?
Could have been a lot worse. Could have happened a week or so ago, on the road in desolate Utah, Wyoming, or Nebraska. I'm a bit concerned right now with the fact that most of the patients in this hospital are unvaccinated COVIDs.

Glad it wasn’t worse, but still a rough go. Take care Professor.

I understand your situation. Been there, done that. Three (four?) surgeries later, my little toe and most of the bone towards the ankle gone. After the last round of antibiotic through the PICC line, I think the infection in the bone has been whipped. Now just need to get the other wounds in my feet healed!
Hang in there, Bud. You can whip this!

I know that everyone needs a hobby (or 5), but to be clear, you go TOWARD the tornadoes!?
Cool footage though, with an important lesson: DO NOT SEEK SHELTER IN THE BARN!
And they made you wait to determine that it was "just" angina? When you walk into an ER with those symptoms you should go straight to the head of the line. Do you have a history of angina, or something else that would explain that?
I went into an ER once with chest pain and tightness. In may case it turned out to be really nothing. I had had some painful tightness and no other symptoms for several hours, and felt sure it was just a passing "thing". When the pain went through to my back I figured I should get checked out just to be on the safe side. When I walked in and said I was having chest pain and that I'm pretty sure it's not a heart attack, they couldn't get me into a wheel chair and into an exam room fast enough.

This morning I picked up some piles of branches that came down in our last storm. Then I got out my weed torch, hooked it up to a propane tank and fried some weeds. That torch sounds like a jet engine running. I love it. Looks cool after sunset when I used it at that time. 3' long blue flame. Just like an afterburner.
(Yesterday) Had CT of heart. Today: in the hospital bed waiting for catheterization in a couple hours. I'm expecting him to install a stent. Hope that's all he has to do; he won't know till he gets in there. I'm not particularly worried...at least not about the procedure. Whereas half the ER was unvaccinated COVID patients when I came in, and there are more scattered through the hospital, I hope to make it to the weekend without fever/chills/coughing etc. If so I'll call it a victory.

I ought to get over being amazed at some of the people who refuse the vaccines. But it seems I can't. Like one of my coworkers in the engineering office who only got vaccinated because her daughter, a nurse, harangued her into it. And the other coworker who said "So you gave in to the peer pressure, huh?" And the guy who got out of a hospital where he'd been in critical condition with COVID, and said he was still against the vaccines.
I saw a statement on a humorous list of pandemic facts that said "The rate of spread of COVID-19 depends mainly on two factors: 1) the density of the population and 2) the density of the population."
Here's hoping the hospital's preventive measures are successful for you.
Oh yeah, and hoping the procedure goes well, with nothing more serious found than what you're expecting.
My brother Mike hunts a lot a plus he is a professional wildlife photographer & author. ( www.michaelfurtman.com ) Like me he has always had dogs. And he swears by this stuff.

Trust me, as a dog person I know what it is like.
quite successful thanks. A little hard to type, wired up like this. Had two stents installed. Told the MD I wanted to watch the whole thing and remember it so he gave me no versed, just fenatyl. No chest pressure, no shortness of breath. They want to monitor me overnight but almost certainly I'll be home tomorrow. Blood pressure is already somewhat lower than before, even though I've not had any bp meds since Monday.
Should be walking three miles each morning again in no time.

PS: Bragging rights...My net worth is greater than anyone else on TRF! Well...unless you have more than two platinum-iridium alloy stents in place...
