WRUP - It's what's for dinner. For your brain. On the weekend. From Scrooloose. You're welcome. Read more

Here we are again on a weekend WRUP trip. Hopefully everyone is doing well out there. I think today may well be pretty busy for me doing mundane BS before the rain coming tomorrow. Read more

Hello everyone, welcome to another weekend and the general WRUP. Thank goodness the heat is falling off for a bit here. Unfortunately that cooling seems to be as a result of a hurricane that came up from Mexico. Now downgraded to a tropical storm I won't see it's effects in full, but there could be some rain this afternoon. Still, I'll take weather that's cooler by some 25 degrees and a chance for some moisture. Continuing in mundane news, my dryer broke. I don't know if you guys have ever had to find replacement parts for a dryer but it can be a pain in the ass. The heating element went out. My dryer is some 10 years old but it's a good brand. I finally found a parts manual and made the mistake of ordering the wrong heater. The listing didn't help as it was simply called a heater, but what I actually needed was a heater assembly. It's still just a heater, but it's a different part number and uses a higher wattage fuse and thermostat. Hopefully the correct one will be here today and I'll be able to replace it. Yep, boring stuff around here. Just hot with frustrating appliance repairs. Read more

Good morning, I'm a day late for this WRUP. I'd like to say it's because I've been busy, because I have been, but it's not true really. I could have done it on time yesterday. But I'll make up for it. Here we go. Read more

Good morning everyone and welcome to yet another weekend and yet another WRUP. We're going right to it because I've had a boring week and I've nothing special to discuss. Read more

Good morning or afternernoon or evening or whatever time it is where you are. It's another weekend and that means it's time for another WRUP. Read more

Well, here I am finally. Good mid morning everyone and welcome to another weekend. It was 102 yesterday. That's plenty warm. That heat isn't helping the efforts to fight the local Washburn fire, though it has slowed a lot since last weekend when I posted a fairly low quality image I took from my front porch of the smoke plume. At that point it was ~200 acres. As of about three hours ago now, it's ~4800 acres, but it's clear that progress is being made because I don't even see the smoke plume now. Containment is at 37% from that same update, which is good news because the last time I saw an update that number was 17%. Anyway, I'm glad progress is being made, that there have been no sequoias lost, and that for once there was some proper land management that had taken place to keep that fire from going bananas.
