Yup, it’s back to the garage and going through boxes for me.
I’ll be making lots of trips to the VA Thrift Store to drop off stuff.
Grok is a dangerous AI tool to brainwash the uninformed.
Your faithful prayers are very much appreciated. 🙏🏻
There will be much sadness, over this tragedy, for a long time to come.

Enjoy YOUR busy day, ML.
The harder work commences, tomorrow :-)
We have a wildfire not far from us.
Firefighters are holding it to a few acres but was breathing in the smoke all night.
After having one house burned, smoke keeps we up, hard time sleeping.
Have a cough this morning but am headed out for Church, which I desperately need, in a few.
My very own First Rule of Computers:
NEVER, EVER LET THE DAMN THING DO YOUR THINKING FOR YOU
Well...
The weeds are whacked.
The Bike’s on the Charger.
It’s too hot too paint.
So here I am again.
I wish we had a VA Thrift Store nearby.
We have a very nice store called “Good Deeds” who do cleanouts and sell the items in the store. Then, a large part of the proceeds go to different charies every quarter. A lot of them are veteran’s Charities, like Equine therapy, Companion Animals, Homeless vets, etc.
They have REALLY nice stuff there for good prices (Vinyl Records $1.00), and mst of my furniture came from there.
I can just delete my recording without watching. Thanks for the heads up.
Enjoy your church service, Gran.
Praying the wildfire is contained and put out, quick.
And...that your cough goes away, quick, too.
Well ... they say NOT to paint in very hot weather ... something about the paint not setting correctly, so you have a great excuse!
EXCELLENT Excuse! :-)
That is an excellent rule, Vet ....
I do admit I sometimes use my laptop’s calculator, tho 😱
The AI stuff is so subjective ... depends on who input the “info” for the “answers”.
We can only guess.
That sounds like a great thrift store ... like they actually screen all of the items for quality, usefulness, cleanliness, etc.
The thrift stores around us pretty much take whatever and set it out ... as is :- /

When JESUS warned us, “Beware of the Mark of the Beast,” it may well be The Beast.” LAST DAYS.

I usually treat that as data that is promptly checked against another source...or two or however many (Yeah, my "News" page has usually got 15 or so tabs..) to detect/delete the purposefully slanted and "hopefully" get something out of the remainder that I can very..cautiously..consider as useful.
(I started doing this to my "news" sources back during 'Nam and expanded to computers/internet/etc from there.)
BTW s&s, if AI ain't The Beast it's shaping up to be an extremely good warm-up act.
I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!
