      So this morning my laptop is full of ants. Yeah, ants. All over the surface, climbing in and out of the keyboard, going in and out of the vents. AARRGGHH

      What got spilled on it? Sounds like a bit of wine got in there...

          I hear they like to have a good buzz in the morning... 😄

          Down to hours - not days... less then fourteen and it'll be time to pass the torch.

          Watching a thunderstorm just on the other side of town.. watching the in/out flows and how the rain falls... weather is a neat thing to watch.. and respect.

          Going to do some more reading on Sharepoint and see what goes from there... And tracking Gru's delivery service... 😄

                      not really cause it could take months to get replacement stuff. We got good at repairing electronics fast let me tell ya.

                          That used to happen to my macbook pro all the time. I never eat near it or while using it. It was odd. Never had it happen to other laptops just the unibody macbook pro. There must be something sonically that attracts them to that over the others. The metal likely conducts some electricity (some people can even feel the tingle from the unibody) so that's probably why.

                            It had nothing to do with food being on it. It was charging in the kitchen and in the path of the ants going from the electrical socket where they come out of to wherever they were looking for food. It was dark and warm so they investigated.

                                    Clouds coming through the Alpujarras Valley. But we are up above them so are looking down at the valley getting clouds while we are in sunlight!

                                            Depending on the electronics,.. that would be a somewhat fun challenge for me. I've had many a comment that I'm just not right (in a good way) working with some of the systems I've worked with, and built...

                                            Working with computers, electronics and radios... I've adapted some things to use differently than the 'norm'. But it's been fun.
