“Hey Strongbad - check out my creepy pants!”

DELETED / DELORTED

It looks like there’s buds on it. It’s fine. It will flower first, and then leaves will start to come in.

Seems to be a ‘late bloomer’, I don’t know enough about the particulars of your climate of this specific tree to speculate on why.

Takes me about 2 seconds with a 5lb steel mallet.

Disclaimer: I hate cruises and the entire industry, but ended up getting roped into a few before COVID by weird family dynamics.

I found a portable router to be pretty handy on cruise ships. The only Internet available is through the ship’s WiFi, and the Internet package I had limited connectivity to a single connected device per cabin. The travel router would be the single MAC and allow all our devices to connect. I was also able to share with family in the next cabin over.

A few months ago I stayed in a hotel for about a week and I couldn’t get my Nintendo Switch to connect through their Wi-Fi. My Switch also doesn’t work on my phone’s hotspot for some reason, even though other devices connect and work fine. Anyway, that scenario would’ve been nice for a travel router, but I didn’t bring it with me on that trip.
