A Lovely 10C Site!

@hybotics I nearly had one of that configuration back in August, just before buying this iMac. I was contemplating the replacement of a 4 GB stick of RAM with one of 8 GB in a 2011 MacBook Pro with an SSD installed. It had 12 GB of RAM & I was thinking of going up to 16 GB.
But the motherboard interface with the video card died the very next day. That it for such a Mac: it was the first Mac to use tin-free solder & they didn't get it right. It was a known error, Apple offered a free fix up to five years after the purchase date of the thing: replace with a pre-used motherboard. Mine hadn't shown any problems so I didn't bother with the repair. It was 6½years old at its demise.

Spotted an SUV atop a flat-bed tow truck today, thought "don't see many of those anymore, particularly in that colour. Wonder if it's the Rev's?"
The "Rev" is an acquaintance who just can't stop preaching Biblical crap at anyone with a half-functioning ear. He also wears Hawaiian floral print shirts.
I managed to overtake the truck, and yes, sitting in the passenger seat, resplendent in one of his fancy shirts was "dear' old Reverend Ron.

Mazda really gets maximum value out of the CX-5 SUV platform. There’s the CX-5 itself, then the Mazda2 which is built on a shortened version and the CX-3 SUV that’s derived from the Mazda2.

Meanwhile, down Mexico way, Toyota Yaris & Mazda2 vehicles were/are manufactured from the same platform.

The Mazda2 case is a bit odd compared to the previous version. It’s longer and wider but less roomy in the passenger area. There headroom front & rear is reduced and there’s less front legroom.

My Mazda2 is the previous version. Rear headroom is barely adequate even then. The front headroom is quite generous & I don’t use all the legroom that’s available.

@streakmachine Why would you mount a microSD card to a wall?

Found the noise. It’s from an old ruggedised ZTE feature phone that I must have switched on by either stepping on it or dropping something on it. Was found half under the portable air conditioner.

This is a seriously ruggedised phone, big chunky 3G device that’s nigh on bombproof.

Something is beeping & booping in another room. The sort of sound you get from something low on charge. But all iOS devices are OK, the two Windows phones are turned off. Just can’t think what it might be.

Super blue blood moon tonight in Australia http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-01-31/blue-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-over-australia/9318544

Idiot. https://au.news.yahoo.com/qld/a/38771828/trailer-blazes-20km-down-bruce-highway/
The report says the trailer had no wheels & was being dragged along the highway.

The last five days have been very hot & very humid. Now it’s 19°C & raining, just after 10 pm. I’ve turned of the A/C in the livingroom and left the couch that’s been my bed the last two nights. Evaporative cooler in a bedroom is all I need now.

Oh dear. Cadbury Creme Egg ice cream is now available.
