Brisket Fairy came out and played a little. Cooked up some brisket, pork butt, and pineapple/cheddar/jalapeño sausage for our staff.

On our last night in England, went for a country walk with one of Joanne's Brothers Ending at a country pub where Joanne's other Brother joined us For food and drinks

Travel loot. Claridge's dark chocolate almonds. I was just going to have the one ...

Drooling. Mostly from the beard pic, but also the meats.

Bye Jonny.

Decent Country Pub Grub. Fish and Chips. Bangers and Mash (and onion ring)

I don't think it particularly matters if you update the os before or after you install the apps. You should definitely do a clean install, then have it migrate from the time machine backup, which is an option migration assistant will give you.

So Hennessey has quite the reputation. He actually sold out and is now "consulting" or the like. Lots of legal cases against him going years back but that is what it is. More relevant, $160K or so for that car...LOL! No way. I can get that Trackhawk to go faster and handle well for a LOT less money. I just won't have the fancy stitching on the headrests which isn't all bad HS EDIT: allow me to be more specific. With my car I can swap upper and lower pulleys (so think supercharger pulley being smaller...the upper and the lower being the balancer on the crank shaft) to spin the blower and make more boost. I would upgrade the fuel injectors to allow for add'l fuel for the add'l boost and dynamic compression...more stuff and higher pressure creating a bigger bang at the top of the engine stroke/spark plug firing). The fuel pumps can be upgraded or you can add something I've got mixed feelings about called a boost-a-bump inexpensively. Add a small nitrous setup for a "wet shot" which means you add add'l fuel as you add nitrous. The transmission should hold as is at say a 9.0 second quarter mile w/o issue. Swap out the mid-pipes (exhaust) for catless (remove catalytic converters or at least put high flow ones in) and tuning to support the additional power/mojo. I'd say all this for $10K to be overly conservative and outrun that Jeep all day long and repeatedly. Voila...

Antonio, before you start a clean install, be sure you have a bootable backup of your hard drive. If you use Google, be sure that all your passwords and info have been sync'd to you account. The same goes for iCloud. You'll be erasing all your Preferences so you might take a little time and write down the settings for your email , Network and Mac accounts (in Preferences and Mail client). I make a list (or screenshot) of my Applications folder and any passwords/activation codes you'll need to get them running. BTW, have you installed an SSD or do you have the stock HD? If it's an SSD there's an extra step in installing HS (new file system). Anyway, here are the instructions on doing a clean install. You'll need a USB thumb drive at least 8G to "create" an installer. https://blog.macsales.com/42502-tech-101-how-to-perform-a-clean-install-of-macos-high-sierra If you've never used Terminal, you're going to just be copying and pasting so don't sweat it. If the commands in Terminal seem to be taking forever (over a couple of minutes) you might need to hit "enter". Here's the High Sierra download. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208969 Don't over complicate things. These instructions are pretty complete. If you open High Sierra and there's a bunch of stuff missing, you have it on your back up. Just open the backup in another Finder window and drag and drop your Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies to the new folder on your MBP. All this is kind of a pain the ass but in the end, it should be like having a new machine. Feel free to PM me with questions.

St. Vincent - MassEducation liked the original and sure liking the stripped-down version

Everyone but Nebb, Jgazal, and Samsie are all packed up with shipping printed. USPS will pick them up today at the house, fingers crossed. I'll go through the leftover boards this weekend and post what's left.

Aye - now that you say it that I can see the 10(.71?) flash up on the first run. I know that getting under 10s a lot more safety kicks in. have fun.
