well, here I am again, typing away.......not a whole lot going on since last blog, but some....mainly, my dads heart is not doing well, they cant fix the arrhythmia, so they said he has to live with it...everyone is depressed over that news......my sis seems to be doing OK, shes looking for a job from what i hear, i guess the treatment is going well? we'll see. same old same old at work...busier than hell as usual, not sleeping much as usual, hurting like crazy as usual.....gees.....i finally started cleaning out the sheds, finally....I took a load of crap to the HOST (Heber/Overgaard service team) one of our 4 or 5 thrift stores in town..one of the oldest i believe....and ive also thrown out a pile of crap as well...its weird, you get something years ago and sya oh wow! I can do somehting really cool with this!......a few years go by..then its what the hell did i ever get this for?!?!?! i cant imagine any use for it whatsoever!!!! lol! and now that ive thrown some stuff away i'll probably find a use for it now!! heh......the picture above is just a small part of my commodore stuff...as you can tell it really needs to be organized! lol! I even still have my old black and white TV! on the left about halfway up...i actually used it as a commodore 64 monitor for a bit! lol! the 2 bins on the bottom are full of misc cables etc..need to organize those as well...there's even a couple accelerator + disk drives for the c64...and if you're really keen, there's a 1541-II nestled in there somewhere! i need to get or build a power supply for it.....and behind all that stuff is a mountain of misc 1541 drives..even a few 1540 and vic-1541's in various states of repair...... wish i had more free time.....maybe when this shed cleaning if done, and winter sets in, and i get my work hours cut, i'll have a bit more free time......i havent touched my closet or the main shed too much as of yet..so it will take awhile......i have made a bit of progress in on area however...i finally got the new ram for my Amiga 1200! and i even ordered a wall mount for my 17" monitor..its too tall to fit under the shelf above my desk with its original base, so i am going to mount it to the wall so i can swivel it etc..and the mount stretches out nearly to the edge of the desk so i'll be able to see it close up! i just need to figure out how to split the VGA signal to my 42" TV and the monitor...switch box perhaps! i also have a cooling platform to put under my miggy seeing as the accelerator card in the belly bay runs a bit hot..in the old days, i wired a tower fan to a dc ps and plugged it into the wall and leaned it against the side of my keyboard......and raised the keyboard a bit....i cant tell you how many times i accidentally stuck my fingers into the fan blades! ouch! but i think i have it figured out now....i got some big rubber feet to attach tothe bottom of my 1200 so the cooling pad has some space to work...all in good time i suppose.....lets see, what else if going on..i watched resident evil retribution last night.....i think they've milked that series enough..i wasn't impressed..good effects, almost naked Milla!!!! hehe...other than that...meh........oh! and while i was working on my shed, i managed to sprain my ankle! lovely! I'm still hobbling about in a good bit of pain....grumble....figures.... i'm on the last book of the wheel of time series..a memory of light......bout a quarter way through so far.....i'll finally be able to read some of the other books i've collected over the years when i'm finally finished......i finally bought new super mario bros wii, pretty cool game..it has elements of mario 2 and 3 etc.....it seems harder than it really should be..i guess i'm getting old! lol! I'm still hoping to get a ps3 for xmas....i'm really hoping they lower the price of ps3 when the ps4 is released......I'm still looking for twinkies, since theyve been re-released....i guess it takes awhile to stock the whole country! hopefully wqhen i got shopping next weekend i'll find some.......other than that...today is laundry day as usual..and i think i am going to do a bit in the shed again today.....probable fill up another huge trash bag..hopefully!....................................................................................................................until next time....
OOPS!!!! I forgot the rain rain rain!!! part....its been raining pretty much non stop here for the last couple weeks! fire danger averted for the time being...we all breathed a sigh of relief over that! hopefully the wetness will continue to some degree until winter....my garden is doing great because of it..escept my orange pepper plants, both of which died inexplicably......of course, i had to get on the roof in a lightning storm to unclog gutters......other than that... until next time.....again....
