    "AVG coughed up a fur ball with the link. Something something script something."
    The something something is a false flag. AVG was one of many AVs I dumped for one reason or another while Malwarebytes Corporate has served well for years. I nearly ripped the guts out of Minya, son of Godzilla (my computers followed the kaiju story lines well) installing and removing AV software to run in tandem and none worked satisfactorily. Then my well connected guru sent the unmonitored version of Symantec Endpoint Protection. It's enterprise grade AV/firewall package, so a bit tricky to install and set up unlike consumer grade plug n' play stuff, well worth its salt and then some. There is a monitored version for large corporations like GE and Transamerica, but I'm not an IT Department in charge of hundreds, or thousands of computers networked in a vast cube farm manned by gamers and porn addicts thinking a boss key hides them from The Eye of Sauron. Not everyone can withstand its terrible gaze... From the central region of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151, the Eye of Sauron watches all of you!

    Don't forget the one on that repeater that said "he saw a couple of flashes of lightning and that was about it" And there was a time that they should have activated the net with tornado warnings for the area flying across the tv from NWS and they didn't while I was watching greenish tint clouds with a sight rotation in the sky going by at my house.

Then after a round of laughter from other amused listeners... silence.

    Alas poor W2LID repeater, I knew it well. Around that time I was looking out my window in Lizardbreath at 3 waterspouts headed across Raritan Bay. Soon one made it to Staten Island aka the NYC borough of Richmond and tore up a few houses, rare but not unheard of. A couple of years later listening to my scammer in West Creek I heard about one coming across Barnegat Bay headed east to Long Beach Island. I hopped in the VXAmobile with the Yeasu tuned to the same frequency and headed out there as it made landfall. I headed south on the island and soon came upon the two wrecked houses and a motel missing a roof, nobody was hurt and the twister petered out when it got to the main road that runs the length of the island. People were standing around commenting on how lucky homeowners on the seaward side were. You see, Matt Ryan isn't the only Tornado I know, the UK also has one, an A1 Pacific steam locomotive a few years ago built from blueprints making the A1 to A4 collection complete.

    OK Cor, here's your spring.

    65 or so today. Going to wetter the next couple days, which is good since we're two + inches shy of where we should be for liquid gold.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    Pollen capitol of the world Charles? I've never seen anything like spring in West Creek, NJ where every morning the red VXAmobile was green until I was a block from the house, then it was red again. Sitting on the porch relaxing and passing the time suddenly my vision was obscured by thick clouds, surrounded by the edge of the Pine Barrens I thought we were in for a bush fire. I got up and looked around, no flames, and the next cloud that triggered sneezing and coughing didn't smell like smoke. Take one guess what those dense clouds were/are, it's not rocket science, but Elon Musk caused at least one traffic crash.

    Well it's been hot, in the 90's but night time temps have dipped into the 60's at times but mostly around 74.
    Daily threats of afternoon thunder bumpers have been hit or miss.
    Humidity has been under reported.

    Every summer we have heat waves one after the other like waves out on the ocean. The last was a week ago, in many areas records have been broken. Adding to the fun was the Jet Stream looping down and carrying with it smoke from wildfires out west and in Canada, the New York City area was thick with it.

    Glaciers have melted away, Greenland is green again, Santa is moving to the South Pole before his shop falls into the rising sea. IT'S GLOBAL WARMING, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! YYYAAAaaaaaaaaaa..........................
