Thermostat
Went down to the greenway this a.m to run the baby and was greeted less than favorably by what can only be described as an ineluctable chill. BRRR! Little early in the season for all that. Winter's coming in hot.
I try to keep at least a beanie and a pair of gloves in the car at all times. I can vaguely remember removing them in the middle of summer now.
So, I did what any other 21st century experiment who relies on their phone for life support would do in this situation—went to the App Store and downloaded a thermostat.
4n1/2 stars.
Not bad for 100+ reviews.
Grant camera access to the app—check. Aim device at current climate—check. Take a picture.
Check.
Now, in a few short words, describe your current climate to the in-app microphone and what you'd prefer it to be.
Little cold out here, I don't have a beanie. Can we warm it up a little, please?
'Little!' I said little like sweater weather, not wetter weather, dang!
No rain, just cold. 'Sweater - weather.'
Cold! Not FREEZING!!
Heat, stat!
Heat, not humid! Now it's heavy and palpable. Yuck. Surrounded by cicadas and crickets all over again.
Sweater weather, stat!!! Heavy dose of sweater weather like yesterday.
Too cold.
Too hot.
Way too hot!
Little cooler?
Tiny bit cooler?
Perfect!
Not bad for free. This is the lite version. Says the full version has a digital temp gauge, no voice prompts. Just enter your desired temperature in the full version and, Wa-la!
But I ain't paying no $1.99/month!
I think your app has been messing with my weather in NY. I've been waking up to frost, eating lunch in shorts, and putting long johns back on before sunset. At first, I blamed the government, as any red-blooded American would, but now I suspect it has something to do with your new thermostat.
I've got my eye on you, funny man.
I've heard of lads in Amish country wearing long John's shoes but his back is a new one. I swear autocorrect had Jew one.
Whaddup my man! I'm still dialing in the free version. If you get lightning in the laundry, my bad.
I could use some lightning in the laundry I'm wearing today...
If my other eye doesn't open soon, I may have take my coffee out to the 'shine shack and run it through the still.
Helluva clever way to describe urology.
It really was! Unfortunately, I didn't see how clever it was until you pointed it out to me. Glad I didn't say anything about how much distilled coffee I might have to drink to get started this morning!

I can say with certainty this, although brief, is the most in-depth exchange I've been a part of with another dude regarding getting ahold of one's self and, speaking of super duper gay, see what they're doing to Tony??
Disappointing.
I actually think it's kinda funny what they're sorta doing to Tony. I've noticed that although the 'news' is playing the clip over and over, they aren't saying his name. I don't know if that is because they don't want to give him a bunch of free press, or if they think that revealing his name to people will lead them to realizing that jokes like that are what he does for a living. I thought it was even funnier that he didn't mention on his last show.
It is disappointing, but expected. Just like they way they're doing the same thing to Joe right now.
I'm not even talking about that. He was in proper Tony style for that speech. Everything about it was meticulous and professional.
Edit. On that note, however, I hope he backs right the fuck back outta politics. NOT your platform, Tony!
Nah man, I'm talking YouTube. They're censoring the shit outta him now.
I haven't noticed, but I thought they were censoring him before. When you first told me about the show and I searched for it, the #1 results were from other accounts showing clips of Tony being in trouble for roasting some Asian asshole. I subscribed and watched over a half dozen episodes before they started putting him in my 'for you' feed, and they still only push me the most recent episode.
If he's going to keep making forays into political venues like that, I hope he has a backup plan that doesn't involve YouTube. His show isn't nearly as popular as InfoWars used to be.
Infowho, war? Nah, there's plenty of that in real life. Whatever that means.
You can order the weather? 😁
Yeah, tune in tomorrow when I make it Tuesday!
Last Tuesday, I hope. I'm not ready for next Tuesday and I have plans for Saturday.
Ahh.. Mmm.. you might wanna oversleep tomorrow. = }
That's insane. So what exactly provides the temperature, your phone? I feel like a grandma sometimes. Way behind the times, lol.
Nah, voice. It's all voice activated. Technology advances so fast. I mean, just yesterday, I hauled a buncha debris outta town with my car.
Crazy, right? Debris in a car.. All I did was download an app that turned my car into a dump truck.
Now you're making things up.😂
That couldn't be real. I'd pay for a fortune for that. Said fortune being $5, lol.
Did you think I was serious about the thermostat?!? If that's true, damn I'm good! I should run for President.
Or maybe I'm the gullible one. Won't fall for your tricks next time, Sir.😂
Dandays loves a challenge. <3
😂😂😂😂
Oh ! That's an interesting toy/app.
It got too cold here for w week or two and I was thinking uh oh... early winter. Yesterday and today though 78 degree high in the day again. waffle waffle....
You're welcome, I did that! Hope you don't mind a little rain tomorrow morning. I need to do some digging and wanna soften the clay.
If you keep it over there and don't order it for my area, I'm totally fine with it.
Sorry about that. When I made it rain, I didn't factor for wind. Should be over around 9.
What's up, my friend? It has been a while. I'll give that app a try; free is for me.
I had a great weather app on my phone but once I tried loading a free Google Earth app things on my phone got messed up. I'm not the best when it comes to phones, desktops, cameras, or any of this technology stuff.
The worst of it all was that my Fanduel account wouldn't work at all. I'm not a big gambler, but I do like making $5 or 10-dollar bets. Always take a long shot. 10 leg parlays seldom hit, but when they do they pay big, between $300 and $600. My last bet before everything went bonkers was a winner, 324 bucks. For two days, an hour here an hour there, I tried to get back into my account.
I finally gave up. Last week we visited our kids and I thought I'd ask my 13-year-old grandson to see if he could get it straightened out. I told him if he got me back online with Fanduel I'd give him 50 bucks. Five minutes later I handed him over a 50-dollar bill. He was thrilled with the cash and I was happy as a pig in shit to have my account back online.
Go figure, a 13-year-old knew a hell of a lot more than his 72-year-old grandfather.
I'll never get a handle on all of this computer bullshit.
I hope that I'll have better luck with this weather app.
Peace my friend I hope you folks are doing great.
That was a fun read. If you stump him, just ask one of the younger ones. I've always kinda made that joke when I can't figure out my phone or some other techy thing, 'anyone got a kid I can borrow?'
What's up Sweed? Been wondering about you guys. Sounds like you haven't missed a beat. You're one of the ones who keeps it real, I notice when there's crickets.
Much thanks for stopping by sir. I just virtually passed you one.
We've been really busy and we both hope to get back to it real soon.
Oh, but you even specialise in pulling the plugs out of mobile apps. 🤣
Oh, but Nani, you didn't know I'm the weatherman?!
Way too hot!
MmmHmmmm..

Best comment section I've read in a long time! Will now toddle off and try and make it snow in Samui....except I'll stick to Buddhist chanting and the burning of a sacrificial stuffed toy snow leopard I received for sending £3 a week by SMS to a commercial on some obscure TV channel.
What, a stuffed snow leopard?! I've been on the £2/month plan foreeeever and all I got is a pen pal.
There he is. Good morning my favorite Martin. Glad you liked this one. This changing the weather stuff poses challenges—over my head. I need to think of something more creative, know what I mean.. more original like flowers or maybe even shadows. = }
Much love, you two.
Technology, bro—and people are worried about AI taking over the world. Case and point: we are safe! I love how all the pictures depict the temperatures! How are you doing? It's been a moment!
I just had lunch with ai yesterday, nothing to fear other than skipping out on the check, the program!
Good morning Ms Pants. We're hangin in there, you know.. waking up and pretending everything's normal per usual.
Much thanks, you. <3
I'd pay to control the temperature 🤣
How is Atlas?
