For goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.

Not many people know that Bill Withers' brother, Bear, writes telephone hold music. 😁

Hmmm. I just tried logging in on my web browser and it's asking me to use my authenticator app for Two Factor Authorisation. My authenticator app doesn't have an entry for mastodon.scot so I'm stuck. Anyone got any clues? I used the #Tusky app and I don't see anything about TFA in the preferences or account preferences. Any help gratefully received, thanks.

I use #Linux. If I may, a word of advice to fellow #Linux users, fan boys and zealots. When someone toots about problems, or otherwise, in #Windows, unless you have something constructive to add, shut the fsck up about "just install Linux". It makes you look like a dickhead, doesn't solve the problem, and probably gets you blocked. Not everyone has the ability or need to install #Linux. Regardless of how much better it is. End rant!

Just saw a Tesla in Banff. Registration number is PAN IIC which amused me!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. MrsD is on doggy duties today for a couple of hours, as I'm off on a "Geology of Portsoy" walk this morning. I'm not an actual geologist, nor do I play one on TV, but I do find rocks and such like interesting at times. Have a great Saturday whatever you are doing today. Have fun, take care. Laugh a lot. Today's photo is from the Keith Show last week. Its the steam engine powering the old wooden grain thresher off to the right.
