And then there's the frustration BM>>> of "well it worked before!" Sometimes can't win. NB>>> So we just take it as it comes, and hope to make progress... BM>> Am making progress on multiple projects -- would prefer to be able to BM>> do one or two at a time and get those completed but sometimes have to BM>> order parts, etc. NB>> Yup... there are some times when one can go full-speed ahead on just NB>> one project, and other times when one has to put things on hold for a NB>> bit and work on something else for a while... :) At least you are NB>> making progress on all the ones you're working on... ;) BM> Well, sort of! I'd like them to go faster/quit throwing those BM> annoying detours in my way but that's the way things are. Too easy BM> gets boring! NB> Besides, you have all this extra time on your hands now, being NB> stuck at home... Maybe that's the problem: I'm not getting away to give time to think of the solution! Did get a couple of minor preparation-type things done last night after Autumn went home. One problem I had which doesn't quite make sense is the temporary/spare computer didn't have the video output through the HDMI switch but did directly (not through the switch). Sort of defeats the purpose of the switch. Tested, appears the cable is the problem though is one of the amplified types ("Redmere"?). BM>>> And the cats purr and rub along your leg. "Haha, silly human! You BM>>> think this means I love you; it really is me marking you with my scent BM>>> and you're mine!" NB>>> Or some of each.... ;) I did once have a male cat that actually NB>>> "marked" me.... he was my son's cat, and due to my son moving from an NB>>> almost rural area into the inner city (Philly) was about to come home NB>>> with us instead... We went down to help the kid move and all, and NB>>> there, prowling amongst the boxes and other upheavals of the NB>>> apartment, the cat came over to me and sprayed my leg... He'd known NB>>> me from previous visits there... apparently decided to stake a claim NB>>> elsewhere.... ;) BM>> Uh, nice? Not quite what a human wants from a 'love interest' but BM>> from the cat perspective was a high compliment. NB>> It certainly did take me aback at the moment... and then I sorta NB>> figured out what he was up to... ;) Only did it that once, too... :) BM> You learned after the first time to run! NB> Actually, it might have been more on the order of your little dog NB> jumping up on the sofa... ;) the cat might have done it without NB> really thinking through the ramifications, and then realized, NB> uh-oh... ;) Quite possible: "I thought was a tree! Human was wearing brown pants!". ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
