    Trying again on the three you didn't get... ;)

    Thanks! ...Check for the ones I probably should have received
    yesterday (July 2nd): had zero to download. Normally not an unusual event, just with the intermittent missing messages something to check.

    I've been trying to keep a little closer eye on things now, watching for
    your responses to ones I've just sent... But there still is (more often
    than I'd like) the day (or two) I just don't send out anything....
    doesn't help my backlog, either, of course... ;)

    Just waiting for this to cycle back around... ;) Last week, on a
    "it's too hot to cook, so let's pick up something cool at Wegmans
    for supper" foray (Thursday, I think), I found those 2-pk packages
    of hard-cooked and shelled eggs...! There was a whole slew of them
    in the "quick-grab" dairy display in the front of the store... funny
    I never noticed them there before... :) Grabbed one package, and as
    it's good until July 7, haven't done anything with it yet, but
    expect it to be an addition to a supper salad at some point... :)
    Horray! I haven't 'explored' to see if Hy-Vee has the hard boiled
    eggs. Did buy a dozen eggs at 88› -- advertised special, limit of two;
    got just one dozen as didn't need two.
    Our store still has the bags of 6 (cooked, peeled) both in organic
    and regular... those are in dairy, next to the uncooked eggs... but
    this finally answered the question of where that odd 2-pk at the
    checkout had come from (at least potentially).... ;)
    Yes: doubt the store is just going to buy a case of cooked eggs just
    for the check out.

    The 2-pk eggs are at the front of the store with other quick-grab dairy,
    so sorta just for the checkout... I haven't seen the 2-egg packages
    anywhere else in the store... :)

    I still haven't seen any at Hy-Vee; admittedly not
    doing an all-out search for them but not at the Eggs portion of the
    store. Which is 'to the left' of some meats which initially seems to
    not make sense but transitions from (starting partway down to the
    right) kielbasa, lunch meats, breakfast sausage, bacon, EGGS! So lunch
    to breakfast! They're clever!! (Milk and orange juice is on the back wall two aisles away.)

    Each store has their own way of being clever in their setups... ;)
    Yours does sound particularly clever... <G>

    space between us whereas the drivers sitting lower see their hood and
    have to guess the spacing. Or could be just when I see my rear view
    mirror filled with a reflection of a semi it just looks really close!
    Probably some of each... :)
    There have been times when I've been tempted to step out and check;
    the problem of course is the other driver would probably think I'm
    being confrontational just for getting out of the car, much less
    approaching.
    Yeah... probably best to just stay put and wonder... ;) Maybe you
    could set up the experiment with a friend that has the larger
    vehicle... have them come up behind as at a light, and then go out
    and see... :) There's also the possibility that some of those higher
    riding vehicles actually have less stuff in the front of their vehicle
    than a shorter normal car's hood would extend... :)
    Possible, and right on probably best to stay in the car. ...Might be
    able to get by with it in an eccentric manner: use a tape measure.
    "Whadaya doin'?!" "Just checking for six feet. COVID-19, y'know!"
    [wary shake of head] Dunno about that... tempers are likely to be
    getting short with all the isolating people have had to be doing...
    even eccentric might not seem very humorous... ;) I'd only do it
    with someone I knew, and that was already in on the operation... ;)
    Right: don't want to end up being a news headline! Measuring with
    someone I knew would be a lot less dangerous (at any time!) but
    probably skew the results. They would either know ahead of time I was going to check something, so drive differently, or end up being
    considered even more -- umm, 'eccentric' than they thought I was!

    You could maybe just warn that at some time, you might jump out of your
    car to check out something... not tell them exactly what you want to
    measure, lest it influence their driving... ;)

    Would seem when moving there was always air rushing under the hood but
    could see where above a certain speed a spring or something else in
    the latching assemblies moved/flexed. And yes, that would cause me to
    slow down too ==> something's not right and so slow down to be a little
    safer/easier to stop, etc.
    And just a little concern that in a moment I might have become
    airborne, even.... <G>
    Probably impossible under those conditions but seeing a hood rise and
    one would wonder what else.
    Given a slight rise in the road, not totally out of the question...
    probably not more than an inch or so, but that's enough to not have
    control of the car until it returns to the pavement... ;)
    Cue that scene from _Smokey and the Bandit_!

    Don't need to... ;)

    I can eat leftover pizza warm or cold, depending... but fresh
    certainly is better nice and warm with melty cheese... :)
    Agree! I prefer leftover pizza cold just because it never seems to be
    right when rewarmed: crust gets soggy, hot spots next to cold spots,
    too hot.... There are devices and techniques to reheat pizza which
    appear to work, for us generally just something else to store. And
    often to me the cold leftover slice has a different flavour from when
    it was originally hot.
    As long as it still is good, just different, that's not too bad... ;)
    To me it tastes good and that's all I really am concerned about;
    wouldn't continue if it didn't! And no, I would not want a fresh
    pizza that way. Well, unless a dessert pizza and that's another
    category.

    Yup, dessert pizza is a different category... :)

    Just as easy to glance and toss into recycle, though... ;) But nicely
    done might be enough of an eye-catcher to at least read once... <G>
    Or glance at the back: ooo - blank! Slice with letter opener and
    becomes scratch paper!
    That works, too... ;)
    Saves money from buying scratch pads, though have purchased because
    'fit the job'. Maybe need/prefer all the same size. clean edges, etc.

    Some jobs, any piece of scrap will work... other jobs, some uniformity
    is more helpful, especially if the scraps need to be kept for a while... ;)

    No, though glad you're doing it -- not really my type of logging/ troubleshooting.


    Just waiting for this to cycle back around... ;) Last week, on a

    for supper" foray (Thursday, I think), I found those 2-pk packages

    dairy, so sorta just for the checkout... I haven't seen the 2-egg
    packages anywhere else in the store... :)

    Maybe not enough received for two places, or they figured the two pack
    would sell as a grab-and-go item by the checkouts but someone doing
    their weekly shopping would buy a 6-pack and probably not a 2-pack.


    I still haven't seen any at Hy-Vee; admittedly not
    doing an all-out search for them but not at the Eggs portion of the

    ;) Yours does sound particularly clever... <G>

    <chuckle> Things are slowly starting to make sense with the remodel!
    Still a lot of holes in the shelves -- either not available due to
    something with COVID-19 or for some reason temporarily turned off
    received the stock -- the COVID-19 tends to make more sense as the store
    and manufacturer still wants to sell.

    Possibly, though I still get a hare jumpy if I'm followed even if I know
    who's following me.

    Right on both. Some notes are temporary and are basicly jotting of a
    few words. Others are still temporary but a little more long term. So
    far none are getting yellowed. <g>

    Barry,

    <chuckle> Things are slowly starting to make sense with the remodel!

    I saw a meme that noted WHY a man is NOT allowed to do the remodeling
    of the bathroom.

    Above the toilet, on the wall, it had the words "Fart, Poop, Pee". <G>

    Maybe that's why I don't like cleaning the bathroom. :P
