Louis is an interesting character that is for sure. Take a look at some of his other videos.
He has validated my negative attitude about Apple as of late.

I lost some early 6.0 data not realizing how to play with the iCloud and my phone, so I just keep the phone backed up with the iMac.
Oh, I looked at it. And shut it off from Google everytime I get a new phone. They weren't getting my media! Now I wish they did. All I got are the memories and that comes and goes. Still can't believe it.


On a different note, I can only find 1 of my 4 tadpoles in the fish pond. But now, I got these 3 frogs and I think they must of ate them.

I've been the same. I'm not putting my stuff in the cloud even with the ability to share between devices.



I have a story. Mr. Gottschalt, our bio teacher at Southern had a tadpole tank so we could see nature. Before we had to dissect frogs for class.

Camburn's Creek ran through my aunt's cranberry bog next door to the farm, complete with frogs.

Mr. Gottschalt was quite surprised that one of his tadpoles grew so quickly without him noticing. The entire class was laughing at his amazement, they saw the insertion.

By the next day, I had been rattled on.


The yard is going to get noisy unless you still have cats.

In 5th grade we had tadpoles and one toad. When the tadpoles grew up and got to be frogs they got to join the toad in the large tank.
It was not long after that we spotted the toad with frog legs sticking out it's mouth.

Those LBZ engine Dmaxes go for a premium, out here anyway: post LLY over-heater and pre-DPF, etc. Was he running a HP tune?

Nope, he doesn't run a tune. Poor guy has 5th wheel fiberglass issues and now the head gaskets on the truck are blown.
