Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

It sure has been quiet around here the past couple of days . . . meaning the entire message board?   I guess everyone is getting ready for the upcoming Summer months.   I remember how I loved Summer, when I was a a young woman.   Now too hard to deal with the intense heat and the wildfires, so now I prefer Winter and Spring.

OLM - are you living in an area that's likely to get wildfires?   I keep forgetting to ask you if you have a reliable car or truck up there, so you can  drive out quickly if necessary?   Looks like Canada is getting hit hard by fires so far this year?

I'm thinking about other books abut people dealing with disabilities.   One that was hugely popular here a few years ago, is "Me Before You", by JoJo Moyes.   I never read the book or saw the movie, but both got good reviews.  Another is,  "The Women", by Kristin Hannah,  about Army nurses who served in Vietnam during the War.   The things they saw, and the things had to do!    So many thousands of  men came  home mentally and physically crippled.  Lots of drama and romance in that one as well. It is a fictional story, but lot of research done by Hannah, so based on facts and eye witness  memories.

Okay, enough about that subject for now.    Hoping you're all having a reasonably good weekend, and that you find something positive to enjoy!

Hey Marilyne, I was thinking the same thing. I put it down to lots of spring activities like cleaning and gardening.  :) Yes, we get wildfires here. During fire season I monitor the T-storms and wildfire incident report pretty closely. My RV is a class B, so  its one piece. When there are fires close by I get everything ready to go. Our fire crews are vigilant. Most of the time lightening strikes are put out at .1 acre or less. The worst ones are human caused. They built an illegal fire, left one burning unattended, or some other stupid behavior.

Today on poo patrol I noted Lady's Slippers, cinquefoil, Columbine, Larkspur, Wild Geranium and Yarrow in the wildflower parade. The Lady's Slippers are considered rare. Since we don't graze cattle here they're coming up everywhere.😃

Speaking of keeping the RV ready  to go, did you ever get the battery you needed? - and installed. Don't want something else running the RV battery down.
It's the WINDMILLS

Hey Rick, I heard the well gen replacement battery is supposed to come today. 🥳  I'll request the RV coach batteries (2) be installed. The one I used on the well gen was not pulled from the RV. I never would have gotten it out! Way too heavy! It was on standby, to go in as 1 of the 2 replacements for the current pair of RV coach batteries. They showed a pattern of not keeping a charge during the cloudy weather. They're long past over due. Good to see you posting.🙂
