Dayum! I expected a couple more pats on the back for having a royal flush last night.

Good morning everybody. It is a glorious October morning here and the western sky is dotted with colorful hot air balloons as the Balloon Fiesta is slated to kick off with a mass ascension in the morning. Some of the newcomers to the event that have been announced so far:

Humidity is up though and we are supposed to have a good chance for rain next week. Hopefully that will occur later in the day though and won't interfere with the morning events.

I once wrote to Cameron balloons in England offering to design balloons for them. I had in mind making balloons that looked like clouds, and things like that. But they declined my offer.

Your country is usually represented in the festival here Dajjal. This is the balloon we usually see. Don't know what you folks will send over this year:

Nope, mine says;

Slept like a log last night, woke up feeling great..... then I got out of bed......
Was chilly last night and the weather predictors are claiming the temps are dropping rapidly, time to take the AC unit out of the bedroom window. Heck have only used it once in the last month. and only three times the month before.

 

[peach174]

It's getting chilly here at night too.
Fall has arrived.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[Gracie]

Foxfyre, you can take my hand off the list. Torn ligament and I am to see a physical therapist sometime next week. And, it's better because I am very careful using it as it heals on its own.

However....Karma's pancreas is doing fine now, but her liver is wonky so if you could put her on the list, I would appreciate it. She is only 9 years old. I want her another 5 years at least!

 

[Gracie]

Meanwhile....old roomie will be gone in a week and I am so eager for it to happen. Dayum, that woman is irritating. I feel sorry for the person she rented another room from. He has no clue what he's in for. Oy.

Today is a beautiful day and it might rain this weekend. I am keeping my fingers crossed it does!

That scene I'm quite familiar with and seriously miss driving along and looking at.

More computer problems!

We're hooking my employer's laptop up to the TV in the living room to stream a game. CBS lets you watch their SEC broadcasts through their website and our broadcast reception is crappy here, so it's great that we can use the website. Anyway, plug HDMI cable into laptop, screen pops up on the TV. Go to the CBS site, open up a preview video, everything is great. Suddenly the sound cuts out. WTF? Check settings, HDMI is set to default, but still, no sound.

I've been screwing with audio settings for an hour, had the sound return, seem to be fine for a while, then cut out again. I just recently noticed that she had some game running in the background. I have turned that off and I'm holding out a small hope it was somehow causing problems; it seemed that the laptop was having some sort of conflicting audio issues and may have cut off the HDMI because of it. Right now the sound is playing fine through the TV.....but for how long?

I tried hooking up the old laptop but the video was too damn choppy while streaming. I've used multiple HDMI cables as well. The only other options I can think of now, if the sound goes bad again, are to use some computer speakers (which I don't know if they will be loud enough) or putting one of my desktops in the living room to play the game. That's not an option I want to use; I don't watch college football and I do use both my PCs.

I hope this isn't some sort of Win10 issue!

 

[Dajjal]

Just call me old fashioned as far as computers are concerned. I don't like changing anything I don't have to.
BT keeps sending me emails offering to upgrade my modem to five times the speed, free of charge. But I don't want the complications considering I can already stream video with no problems. I can download data at one megabyte a second, and that is fast enough for me. Its far more than I ever expected in the old days.

It could have been the game, if the sound returned after you shut the game off then you discovered the problem. Automatic anti virus updates or even OS updates might also have been your issue here. Double check your sound and display drivers, make sure they're current.
