Patty, you're to the east of me, so it's a sound assumption that whatever blows over me today is going to blow over you tomorrow—stay safe! I'd be interested to hear just how you go about choosing the gear to take and to leave when you reorganize your rig. Do you go to the storage locker twice a year to change out heavy jackets for shorts and flip flops?

Jon, I'm thinking I'll try the Malwarebytes VPN, and will report back.

Still fooling with the sprinkler setup. The first attempt turned out to be ineffective, and while I can't avoid a little water going onto pavement, this was hitting almost everything except the garden. The high heat is here, so the schedule will be set in the battery-operated device in the back yard. I used to have to keep a black bucket over the top of it to keep the sun from beating down on the face with the programming panel, but my Mexican plum tree has grown tall enough now to shade it perfectly (and it means a bit less sun coming into the single-glazed back bathroom window as well.)
