...and an update: https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/entertainment/jay-leno-recovery/index.html " Leno, an avid car collector, had been working underneath a vehicle on Saturday when he was burned by a gasoline fire, Dr. Peter Grossman, who is treating the former “Tonight Show Host,” said during a press conference Wednesday. “When got pulled out from the area underneath the car, it was noted that he had pretty significant burns to face and hands,” he said. “His burns include his face, his hands, and his chest, the burns are fairly significant,” Grossman noted." However...: “He’s Jay leno, he’s walking around, he’s cracking jokes,” he said, noting the comedian is “incredibly kind” to the hospital staff. “His injuries are serious, his condition is good,” he said. “I do anticipate him making a full recovery.”

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom. The 6 year old asks, "You know what? I think it's about time we started cussing." The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass." The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm. When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios." WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!" She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?" "I don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your ass it won't be Cheerios!"

Are you looking at the yellow-nosed plane in front of the tractor Bill? Looks like a P-51 or a P-40 maybe?

I Lol'd at the JC Whitney reference. A neighbor had one of these in station wagon form. I always wondered how much that front bumper weighed.... 500#? -

Amen brother, Thanx Bill! And something else I've learned... DON'T PANIC! Ha!

Ditto, I have a bunch of those too!

What pleased me today? After a period of RL getting in the way of a bunch of things (including modeling), on top of all that my doctor wanted me to get a colonoscopy. I told him that it's literally and figuratively and pain in the bum and he suggested a Cologard (Poop-in-A-Box) test which I agreed to. Well, it came back 'Positive'. Of course you think the worst when you get that result and I assumed that it meant positive for cancer. I started thinking about end of life things, like what do I do with all my stuff, start selling it? I stopped making long range plans, started thinking about how long I had to live, etc. I ended up working myself into such a frenzy I start imagining things and ended up going to the ER yesterday as I was seeing blood in my poop and thought for sure I only had days or weeks to live. The ER staff was awesome and were sympathetic to my anxiety but they all were pretty sure I'd be sleeping in my own bed that night, I wasn't so sure. Blood work and a CT Scan and then waiting. When the results came back the doctor told me "We can't find anything, we're pretty sure you've basically had a panic attack. The blood you were seeing is probably your hemorrhoids" such has been my anxiety. Then they explained what the Cologard test actually tests for. It only looks for blood in your dung, NOTHING ELSE! It does not test for cancer, it can't, that's not what it was designed for. Traces of blood are an indication of polyps what *may* be, but probably aren't cancerous. And because there was nothing in my blood tests to indicate cancer, a colonoscopy will enable the poop-chute tech to clip them out and be done with them. So what am I pleased about? I am officially cancer free and will go on living my life, free to think about what life means to me and maybe get that Canadian Fishing trip in that I've dreamed about for many years!

There's some orange in there, I just know it! -
I'm pretty sure it would print to most printers, otherwise people wouldn't buy them. It seems to way to go it to print through your Wi-Fi. I found this on a quick search: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7225252?hl=en Of course the printer itself needs to have Wi-Fi capability.
-
Not being familiar with Chromebooks I assume it has no physical ports to directly hook the printer to. If that's the case you need to print through your network or Wi-Fi connection. Did any of those printers support Network or Wi-Fi printing? I understand the allure of a Chromebook computer, the first being price. What you give up though is the ability to simply connect local devices and all of your 'info' is in Google's 'Cloud'. Did you understand all that when you purchased it?
