I once told a scammer I use a Timex Sinclair (I actually had one) and I needed to find the cassette to boot it up. He actually waited while I put the phone down to waste his time. At that point I realized it wasn't even fun anymore to fool with them.

I used to change the clock in my car, now I don't bother. I think it's the right time now.

Ha! I (almost) always eat dessert first. That way I can have a second one if need be.

I just ordered a new iPad Air and a pencil2 like 25min ago, I paid the 13 dollars to get it delivered today. It’s already out for delivery.

you can also order beer and cannabis (legal in canada) from Uber and get it in 30 minutes.

what a time in history this is.

Hi Groove, hope the thing works well. I got my wife an iPad with a pencil and she hardly uses it…the pencil is very awkward to use I think.

It’s very nice but I think I’m going to exchange it for the 11” pro

Groove, I was torn between the MacBook Air and the big iPad and went with the Air….don’t regret it but I really love the form factor of the iPad…if I had to do it again I would grab the biggest iPad I could find.

I have a MacBook Pro M1max for the heavy lifting stuff. This is a portable and I want it as a pad device and pen. The apple pen2 is very cool. Much better on the pro than the air (hover!)

Nice and lucky you... We haven't had many days even close into the teens on the BC wet West Coast and even the Easter lilies, daffodils and tulips are late this year.

At least we escaped the nasty winter and snow and ice storms many suffered through recently back East. Places in Manitoba and Montreal area really seemed to get hit, and some areas are just getting their power back maybe today in Montreal after they get the power lines and transformers back up in place that the ice storms destroyed.

True that Patrick, was saying to a neighbour ( touch wood ) I haven’t used the snowblower at all this winter.

That's about the opposite of here and quite unusual for us, as we could have used a snow blower several times this winter when most Winters often barely leave just a trace of snow here, and maybe just enough to leave the roads slippery.

That's crazy weather and some pretty high temperatures for this time of year forecast for your area...
