Hi @Old_Joe @DrVenture et al
I would like to see a pic of that cable and how it was supposed to be fastened and secured. There must many types of vibrations that pass throughout a large ship that may cause problems.

Damn. How the hell did I miss this when I posted the same? Apologies, indeed. I'm gonna check with the wife about that it might be time (for me) to be taken to the woodshed for a mental reboot.
Hi @Old_Joe et al I forgot to mention a tiny piece of the messaging I saw early when attempting to go to MFO. The screen indicated both Chicago and Toronto as the failure locations for a Cloudflare connection. These locations are expected and nor…
I will give the benefit of doubt that 'Cloudflare' is keeping the network system up to speed by whatever is needed to 'exceed' anticipated traffic. This is indicated at their website. Perhaps one of their customers had an attack that moved down the …
Hi @Junkster I do agree with you. Since the tariff war was started, at least on a YTD return basis; Int'l. equity returns have handsomely outpaced U.S. The money will find its needed path, based on the ongoing actions from D.C. We remain 40% equity…

@Crash Lucky me. Still okay hair, and not cut for 6 years in December. It's been long, for a long time. The beard is always neatly trimmed. So, your C,S,N & Y song post I do know.

Hi @DrVenture ETAL Some of the below fell out of my brain cells recall unit with the name Lou Reed, and yes, I enjoyed some of his music. The below is from an AI request. I trust the info is accurate.

Hi @Old_Joe Geez, the interconnected worlds we discover, eh? Your report is most interesting. Although the military wasn't my choice (Vietnam era); I, as you, were fortunate to not be 'harms way' and had great benefit from our knowledge and experie…
Hi @howaya Thank you. An excellent question.
Yes, there were numerous tests at the Bikini Atoll, which is 225 miles from my work location. 'Course, I did have to believe that the DOD stated there was not any work hazard at the KWAJ. Over the years…

Ha !!! I didn't count the number of times I cursed and gave him the big finger during that bullshit program. I suspect CBS and all of the entanglements caused them to 'air' such a shit show. What were they expecting ???
Hi @DrVenture Nice....Give Me Shelter. I've found, too; quite a few excellent mixes of cover songs. When a song title runs through the brain I will many times search for 'cover' songs.
MUSIC, the universal language................
@hank I'm 50/50 for instrumentation 'the character' of the mix; as well as the lyric. Some songs weight more in one direction. Some songs for me a 'road song' for driving upon the highway, volume set …
