Crazy gusts on the loop made driving thru Parker so not fun
One gust pretty much blew my lil Hyundai over two lanes....scary
The two miles to the kids school was a tour of destruction. Trees on houses, trampolines everywhere. Hardly saw a 3-tab roof that was intact. The end of 3-tab in Colorado is nigh.
I'm good Irving! Thanks for asking.
Truck is upright and in one piece and so are my trailers.
80 mph winds are a bear to fight even with 64,000 lbs.
others weren't so lucky
near Longmont

Winds picked him up underneath the underpass and tossed him up into the bottom of it.

Damn, those are some wicked pictures, especially the Am. Furniture trailer.
And I was upset that I left the windows cracked open on my pick up, now I have a heavy coating of dust & dirt all over the inside.
My friend was up in Cheyenne today and sent me very similar pictures, including the dust storm in Loveland.
Wind took out crossing gates at 33rd/Peoria and ATM in the drive thru of the bank leaned against the car while I was withdrawing cash.
ATM now has 3 black scuffs where it rubbed car. First time ever reaching the cash and card was easy. Easy to tip machine back upright too.
Teller in drive thru says the ATM has blown over before.
Insert "Take my money" [ATM] meme.
I have a 6500 W dual fuel generator sitting here.

I might have to see if Irving still has some of those blue tarps. Apparently the winds didn’t agree with my roof.
Well, I shut down that thread since no one thought buying blue tarps was a good idea. I still have all of them. If you don't have exposed decking, there isn't much hurry yet.
I was going to call and check on you today, but then the power came back on and I went to work until dark. How'd you fare up there? Your roof is pretty new so I imagine pretty uneventful for you.Quote:

Whoops!
I felt silly doing the high wind nail pattern on my coop shingles the other day, but now I'm pretty happy that I did. Nothing went anywhere. Also, my power went out and the only thing I could do was install more shingles over the nesting box, so that's pretty much all I got done today. :(
I’ll likely climb up and take a peek tomorrow. I found half a dozen complete shingles in the back yard and no telling how many more went elsewhere in the neighborhood. I hear we might get rain and or snow this weekend.Quote:

Difficult to see in the photo, but that tree is broken about 4 feet up the stump and the whole tree is laying on the house.

I don't know where this is, so let's just say...16th and Welton.

Let me know what you find. I'm here for you Ray! (Unless I'm busy).Quote:

Unintended air movement device reference not withstanding. No broad scope damage noted around the I 70/ Wads area that I noticed tonight.
So far ok. Appreciate the inquiry.Quote:

Meh, doesn't look that bad.
Hope they got out OK.

Just had a telephony engineer wonder why their newly installed phone wasn't getting PoE via fiber...
facepalmQuote:

Both my team lead and I were just like, "Are.... are you serious right now?".
She thought that because it went Fiber from wall > Media converter > Ethernet patch > phone that it should be able to have PoE and she wouldn't need a power brick.
We're both sitting there like:

He eventually went over to the room she was in to have a conversation about how PoE works. Keep in mind, she is a very well paid telephony engineer. She has a Masters. Yeah.
Howdy.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I also don't have a Masters in Supposed To Be Knowing What You're Talking About either though.Quote:

What confuses me the most here, is why you haven't already posted your favorite clip from The IT Crowd? It's been nearly three hours!
No youtube at work. I'd have to know the title of the video, google it, and then copy the link.
I think my favorite one is when Roy pretends to be disabled because he accidentally pulled the alert cord instead of the flush cord.
I believe that is S2E1, and is also one of my favorites.
Perhaps.Quote:

As everyone knows, fiber carries light, and very little of it, at very low power levels.
I had a customer call to say they were having problems with wonky SAN connections. They had their colo pull fiber from another cage (a company they bought).
Nobody bothered to check to see that they had pulled single mode fiber and plugged into multimode SFP's, including the "SAN Engineers" at said company.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I also don't have a Masters in Supposed To Be Knowing What You're Talking About either though.
Thank you for a much needed belly laugh, that shit.....cracked me up.
What ? You didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn on your last out of town trip ?Quote:

Not surprised with that either. It sounds like one of those sites that has no staff except security. Didn’t anyone ask what color fiber? Or what color gate on the sfp? Seems simple enoughQuote:

Bastards.
The lending industry can literally suck the fart juice from my rectum after a long hard work day when it's been 100 degrees.
