    Not yet. Will experiment with the antenna placement (outside) to see if I can improve. Went from solid 1 bar to 3. Working on it LOL

    Note; I'm still on a iphone 6s and they are not happy I'm still using it. Apple is apparently killing my phone in secret. This is according to several "cell" phone types.

    Thanks for dat! I had no idea it was even a "thing".
    Ouch! It looks like a Cletus engine failure.

    Good evening everyone. Sorry for hitting all of the 'good morning" likes at 6pm. I haven't had time to do anything besides be busy at the new job, so interwebz only happens after I get home. If the rain holds out I am going to cut the other 2 stringers for the stairs on the deck before it gets too dark to see the pencil lines on the lumber.

    verizion is doing the same thing to my old Android S5 Sport. Once they make it obsolete, I'm back to a flip phone.

    I'd also try some real-world upload/download tests with your pictures, by timing how long it takes to perform each action using the same file.

    Italy, I think, actually passed a law that prohibits tech companies from intentionally bogging down phones, computers, tablets, with software and updates that force the consumer to eventually replace an otherwise still servicable piece.

    And sometimes not what you say but how you say it...

    I'm coming out of Wally World one day and see an older gentleman struggling to put his purchases in his vehicle.
    I step up and say "need a hand sir?"
    He barks back "NO, I've got it!"
    I was somewhat surprised by the harsh response -- until I noticed -- the gentleman was missing his left hand... :eek::frusty:

    I slunk away...

    It has been probably 20 years since I did the maths and laid out a stair stringer, I made an attempt on Monday night and realized that I got the 1st layout wrong (thankfully before I cut up a $60 chunk of tree carcass). The cuts came out ok. I held it against the other 2 pieces that I laid out and saw that I made a small ~ 1/8th " mistake on one riser so the line didn't all match against the cut out stringer. The mistake was minor enough that it won't matter, at least on an exterior stair case for a deck. I used it as a template and re-marked the other 2 and cut them out tonight.



    I will just keep plugging away at this a few hours a night after work. Next I will screw down a few treads to hold the stair case together and relocate the position of it so that I can have 2 hand railings instead of the side of the house being a "railing".
