Strange, weird or odd or whatever beach finds thread….

I didn’t find this on the beach, but I did find it on some neighborhood social media.
If you see someone throwing rocks and screaming three times while fishing at GG, you’ve been warned or now know why.
Thankfully they are doing it at 11:30, not 6:00 in the morning.
If you see someone screaming “where are the f’n coho?!?! without rocks being thrown, that would be me. 😂
Mods, please move this to the humor thread if needed. 😉

I may drive up to Seattle to participate. Since this morning:

1. I woke up to find a sticky note that the washer I fixed a couple of months ago went kaka again. Took it apart and ordered parts.

2. At my daughter's request, I removed the plastic cover to the bathroom vent fan to clean it and managed to break one of the plastic spring clips that holds it on. McGyvered a repair.

3. Was cleaning the controls on a vintage stereo receiver and got it working perfectly. Came back a little later to find that the volume knob is seized. Didn't seem to like the cleaning spray.

4. The Windows 11 upgrade I was performing on one of our laptops appears to be stalled.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and I wanted to increase the font of the above exclaimation, but my effing tablet wouldn't let me.

A little better now. I'm not touching anthing else....

"4. The Windows 11 upgrade I was performing on one of our laptops appears to be stalled." Had to replace the motherboard in my tower. Even then, one of my games did not function and the sound does not work.

I spent 35 years in IT, so I'm used to forced obsolescence and having to upgrade stuff. We have a term for it -- "technical debt". Eventually, you'll have to pay the piper.

Doesn't mean I like it much, especially since Microsoft said Version 10 would be the last version of Windows. Yeah, right...

Sorry about your upgrade challenges.

I also worked in IT. We called it "job stability'.
