If I stop posting, assume that Pat got us through the wormhole back to his home planet.
Micro-wave is so old school.
Ikea sells those Space/Time Warp doors, flatboxed.

Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.)
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system."
...
The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

I think they got the wrong address. I did not order kittens.
Photosynthesis?
Nuclear?
Or D cells.....
Given the available evidence, I’ll go with D cells.
I’m currently at IWM ( Raf) Duxford. Looking at a load of old flyable hardware and old splody things. :)
You don’t need to order kittens, kittens are a free gift.
Sounds like lots of fun. I’ll be leaving in a few minutes to take Frank and Kathleen to swimming lessons.

Somebody make it go away!
Because WE'RE Microsquish and WE'RE in charge. You'll take what we give you and be happy about it. A Mac is too expensive and Ubuntu Linux is too scary so WE OWN YOU!!!!!
To those of you who have FB pages, a new photo is up on my page.

My previous system was working, but my husband decided I needed something “better.” I think engineers are all in a conspiracy against everyone else.
Back from swimming lessons. Frank made progress. I also got gas in the van.
Now I need to check my list to see what to do next.
Window 10 is easier to navigate, but stay away from Cortana, no matter how much it begs you to use it.
Just. Stay. Away.
We are getting the smoke from the California fires, and it is really ugly.
My clothes are hanging in the bathroom, and they should be dry by late this afternoon. I realized I need to buy hangers. I knew that a month ago, but it slipped my mind, somehow.
Maybe I will scan some photos this week, just to have them saved. It’s a task that is way overdue, and I hope my printer holds out for it.
Tom the Son is gripy because we put a password on the schoolroom computer that has to be entered before it will boot up. Also put a password on Netflix. The goal is to make him (and Elen, when she returns) less comfortable here, so that they will work extremely hard in school and get lives.
Excellent idea! It certainly has my vote!
I guess that’s the 2016 version of getting them serious about someone they want to marry.
The late Igor used to tell me, “You have a mind like a steel trap. Everything that goes in gets mangled.” I never did take it as a joke, which must have proved his point. ;o]
I suppose ...
I’d like them to be serious about financial and domiciliary independence.
Yes..
They arrive.. But right now the arrival mechanism here is a bit thwarted as we no longer have a resident feral female. We do have a resident feral Tom (son of the former resident Tom who was killed by dogs), but it seems he has not invited any of his paramours home with him..
..engineers are all in a conspiracy against everyone else...
