That really surprises me that you haven't heard of Roberta Flack! Maybe you've heard her songs but didn't pay attention to who the singer was? I am pretty sure that she was famous around the world, not just in the United States.
I always listened to the "urban" radio stations because of the beats. Overnight, they'd have the Quiet Storm with ladies such as Roberta Flack.

Yesterday, I got an e-mail on my student loan in New Mexico and I might be eligible to have it concluded for free.

The only thing is that I never studied in New Mexico and I've never had a student loan.

I guess I'll put that in the same bin with the tolls due in Massachusetts and California.

Yes, discard these scam emails immediately, especially if you’re not been in the United States and resided there. Even if you receive emails about student loan forgiveness or financial aid from universities or states where you’ve never been a student, these can be fraudulent attempts to obtain your loans and financial information from your bank account.

Thanks.

I'm not as dumb as I look. 😁

Gave the lawns their first cut of the year. Not very neat though as it's still in a very high position, so basically just took off the high points.
Still sunny but warm. Spring is defiantly here.
Same here but we have on and off storms with cold days and some days that are hot. Weird weather 🌦️ in my area.
 
Same really. Had frosts the last few days. Had more in the last week than the rest of winter.
But the beautiful sunshine is what’s nice. Here in the UK we get very little. Love it.
It’s wonderful to witness the weather improving. Since March has arrived, I decided to take a stroll back to my favorite nursery to admire some plants and bonsais. Spring is finally here. The rain will finally bring back moisture and restore the humidity after the devastating January winter wildfires. This is the 4th/5th storm since the fires were over.
 
I repaired my 1/2 horsie Craftsman garage door motor with a new cog assembly. Then I lubed up the brake cables n shifter linkage and put new pedals on my sons monkey bike. After a good scrub with some Dawn, now I'm wondering how will I get the smell of garage door chain grease, Tri-flow and silicone grease off of my hands.

Additional thoughts: My kiddo loves to play Minecraft & Roblox on his Ipad and has recently been bugging me about playing those games on his 2009 imac running El Cap. Up until now, that was fine for his needs running some retro console emus, surf YT Kids and watch DVDs. With this new ask I find myself contemplating BigSur via OLP and how I could accomplish such wizardry.

Lastly, I have this old Maxtor hdd in my Graphite Powermac G4. I have been contemplating what I will use to record the sound of that hdd and make it as a playable audio file on my website.

The DEEP thoughts that have been running through my head this fine weekend.

In Central Valley, California, it was spring for about a week until Saturday when it decided to be winter again. The sun may be out right here, but it's moderately dark toward the center of town.

Yep partly cloudy. 🌤️

It has been cloudy in and out lately, sun’s up sometimes.
 
I saw last night that singer and Philadelphia native Angie Stone has died. Many won't know her but she's become almost as big a deal as Patti LaBelle and as big as Phyllis Hyman to Philadelphians, anyway.

I'm relieved that my Social Security payment made it. With all the craziness and hearsay about U.S. payment systems, I've been quite worried.

Wash your hair, with shampoo, twice. The shampoo, along with the agitation of the hair will remove 'most anything but the skin itself.
Also Solvol,

Also, having access to a sink or a water hose nearby can be helpful in removing WD-40 from your hands while working on dirty tasks alongside the soap mentioned above 👆🏻

Throughout my engineering training in uni, I’ve worked in several machine shops with CNC machines. In these shops, sinks are provided, and we wash their hands thoroughly when they get dirty from handling tools. This practice helps prevent elbow grease from rusting precision parts and ensures the proper functioning of the machinery. Even when using coolant or tapping fluid on the drill press or mill, we maintain good hygiene by washing their hands regularly and I also have a case and a band that is easy to clean on my Apple Watch wherever I go to CNC machining class every week.
