I’m so excited!

In just a few short weeks it will still be dark when the alarm goes off in the morning, but the sun will set an hour earlier!! What a great concept!!
 
I am just wondering how come my wife to be was sitting behind me, at my friends birthday party without telling me hahahaa :) Gotta love that kid. :) She was a few evenings ago, we where having two October birthdays at the same time, both are sisters to me, also both knew forever too. :) Good to see them both :)
 
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the more pungent and offensive the cologne, the more the wearer must be doused with it.
 
I am glad I spend over a half-hour talking with one of my old friends and have him talk with my brother-in-law and my other friend.
Funny I thought I was being so secretive...
 
I got new phonax hearing aids today, the only draw back is that when speaking with my sister, my voice sounds muffle, but I can change the settings, wich I have been playing around with :)
 
My newest art work, it is a mix medium, both coffee and one of my sharpie pens that has amazing seep feeling into the art itself, entitled "Vacant none on Earth" Took me a few days of finishing it.

My windows needed a much booster of an update, I was searching for the tiny bit, run a few sfc's here and there, and left it alone, when went to sleep last evening. Boom everything is running much smoother.
 
So I accidentally stepped into dog poo, earlier today at my sister's house, she does have a dog by the way, and I noticed this huge wad was sticking on the bottom of my shoe, I got the poo after a bit and dunk the shoe in the toilet, let it dry for about an hour outside of their house. Soon after I was swiftering the floor noticed vomit from the puppy and he was chewing a few things that were just plastic, it was all over the bed and down the floor, so my socks got a bit vomit on them, my sister lent me her slippery socks in the meantime. It was a strange feeling that not only my shoes and socks were full of disgustment.
 
So my Mother has an ambient fire place, the remote will not work but the box does work, so I am assuming it is the batteries, so going to change those over soon... :) We have it for around a few years.

You can check if a remote is actually working and transmitting infra-red by pointing at your phone's camera. As most phone's cameras are sensitive to IR, and you should see it like flashing. And if it isn't, then the first things is to check the batteries of course.

It's not lasers, it's just LEDs. IR from remotes shows as purple on my Samsung phone camera. So it does sound like the remote is working and transmitting IR, and the problem might in the device itself. Maybe the IR receiver is duff? But might be worth trying new batteries in the remote anyway.

Gree A/C remote pointed at Samsung Note20 camera.

BTW this is something you can do with pretty much any IR remote zapper that isn't working, try pointing at at your phone's camera.
 
Batman: The Long Haloween has some really amazing actors in it, as well as the art style is much different then the first half :)
