I have no doubt it is much colder there than down south 65 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Tonight we have rain and wind and a tolerable high 50s to low 60s, at least for a while. Mid 30s coming back over the weekend.

My first RAM order made on the 13th arrived today and it was the last part I needed to fire up the first machine. Everything went very well and no surprises. I managed to have all the case fans connected due to the extra two fans I bought. Those two fans had a 2 split so that allowed me to...

It's out of date ! I would guess around 30 years, they don't make them like that today. It has a counter balance in the powertrain of a swinging cinder block. Really no kidding It is still a good machine and washes just as good as a new machine. I have one that is about 15 years old and it...

Washed clothes and rode the machine on two spin cycles, it likes to walk out the backdoor if you forget to add some weight to it. Then I worked on my first computer build of two. I finished connecting all the electrical and found I needed two fan splitter cables since I added two more case...

The stores and all of commerce aren't helping any with all the gouging. My small town grocery I once called The Mafia Store long before the virus, now I have a new name for the store, the 5 dollar store. There is nothing on the shelves that is not 5 dollars and up.

Hmm, you must be running 13s ;)

A long time ago Doctors would actually tell old people to have a hot toddy once a day, my Great Grandmother was told this in the late 40s and until she passed in the early 80s she followed that advice and lived to 104. She also dipped Garrets Blue Label snuff until she died. Her husband in...

Desktops will always be around, if they weren't half the industry or more would be dead. You wouldn't be buying these high powered graphics cards and suitcase full of RAM or Ultra fast cpu s .. Today all computers no matter the size have a place and a need by the same people that will buy...

This is my Mother and her slightly older model

I think both alcohol and drug addiction is something that many people have no control of abuse. There is something missing in their DNA that denies them the ability to stop the abuse, it truly is a sickness. Most people I have known that had a problem were really great people but they all told...

Give me a clothes pin and a piece of cardboard and I was good with my bike. Today there are digital speedometers, solar celled night lights and more. My 72 year old knees have a violent reaction to bicycles. Today I call fun A NAP, had one at 2 today but the LSU game came on and I never got...

My Grandmother always kept a bottle of Geritol in the ice box door shelf, I was hitting that stuff everyday. It tasted great and was a orange color as I remember, much like a fruity flavor but about 90 percent alcohol.

What a sad end for Jan
