Hey! Good cool stuff with the Linux.

... As compared to a certain other OS, I've got more antivax in me (x2 jabs and +2 boosters) than any of my Linux systems (zero antivirus) that continue to Just-Simply-Work. Fantastic.

Enjoy!

Winning on a frosty Monday morning in the highlands down under.

It's a frosty 0C (felt like -2C) here while 18C is expected.

Cheers.

Watching a bit of television. The Queen is in the Abbey and the funeral procession has placed the Royal on the pedestal.

Winning on a Monday evening.

Cheers.

Off to the final resting spot.

Off to the final resting spot.

Rest in piece.
but come back please.

Unfortunately I have a round trip planed.
Watching the Queen’s last one way trip on television. That is a massive engagement in planed manpower just to get a person to the end of the line.

Much of the planning was done a long time ago. There are several levels of planning involved, and regular reviews to make sure the overall plan will work. So very little to do in the days between HM Queen Elisabeth II death and the funeral (in the UK at least). Many of the VIP guests would have a contingency plan in place that could be slipped into action with very little effort (I guess the US State Department would have something in prepared given her age and known health).
I would also expect countries like the US to have "death in service" plans to cover their leaders.

Good, (late), morning. :-)

Saw the Queen's funeral today. I had a slight bout of insomnia, again. Was up at 3:45 AM - PDT,
so, downstairs I went, turned the family room TV on, and got to see the funeral procession.

It was a well done service. Again, R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II. :'-( You will be missed.

[UPDATE:]

I've been preparing for knee surgery on my left knee. I've been doing pre-surgery Physical
Therapy. I've been assigned 'aqua-therapy'. So, I've been doing exercises in a small pool at a
local Physical Therapy specialty place.

My Pre-Op Appt with my Primary Care Doctor is tomorrow morning. I have to fast tonight
for blood work to be done, tomorrow. The results will be forwarded to my Orthopedic Surgeon.

Surgery for the left knee is October 24th. The right knee follows some time in February of 2023.

Wish me luck. (Both knees will be 'Total Knee Replacement' surgeries.)

Good luck with the op TL. ;-)

@ Rob
I know there’s a large amount of preplanning involved. My mind was boggling at the plan in motion. Then she even designed her own herse to transport her to the last event. So to say.

TL. Have a safe and event free replacement of your knee.

After I get my washing done and out onto the line I'll be going to finish off my drainage trench. I got most of it done yesterday gathering another wheelbarrow load of mud and rocks, but I do have a bit more to do yet to get a full flow out of it though it shouldn't take that long to finish it and there certainly won't be anywhere near a barrow load.

Anyhow it's time for a 2nd coffee break.

Cheers.

Thanks, Wiggo, Vic, and Admiral. :-)

I have one of the best Orthopedic Surgeons in the area. I'm sure that nothing
unexpected will happen. However; positive thoughts and prayers are always
welcome at times like these. :-)

The one thing I hope he takes care of in February for the right knee is that
I have a 'Baker's Cyst' at the back of the knee joint. My Primary Care has
informed me that it's mostly harmless, but that it is the size of a baseball.
He said that it "...can't be drained by normal means. It will pop on its own,
and drain into the lower leg where/when the excess fluid will be absorbed
by the body." However; now that I'm having total knee replacement in Feb,
for the right knee, my hope is that the Orthopedic Surgeon WILL remove
said Cyst and Cyst Sack completely to better facilitate the new knee
hardware.

The left knee will be simple for the Orthopedic Surgeon. NO cysts to
eliminate there.

I got the washing all done and away as well as the trench (it all passed the hose test) in the morning which turned into a beer o'clock afternoon so all I need now is a feed.

Cheers.
