Good afternoon. Gun safe moved.
Now I have my spare room empty and ready to remove wallpaper and prep for painting.
Let the games begin.

Howdy Greg, ancjr and Coop.

I never seem to like the result of doing incremental upgrades. I'd rather wipe & fresh install.

Hi DD & ancjr

been busy trying get ceiling drywall to suck up tight, not sure if the joists are hardwood or not but I have ruined a bunch of screws trying to run them in, even with pre-drilling.
I now see why they didn't use enough to start with

Much better. Now it'll take me several months to years to get this system back to the customization level that requires me to format and install again.

I would have no idea how to do that kind of stuff.

My first computer was leftover parts from a university computer lab. I had to figure it out if I wanted a computer.

I sold a part of me today.

A guy stopped while I was outside, and asked if I wanted to sell my truck. That truck has been a part of me for twenty-five years.
It's been sitting idle for over a year, due to a broken brake line. The body was showing it's age.
As I was talking to the guy and walking around it, I realized, it would cost much more to keep it around, than it's really worth.
We cut a deal, and it's gone. It broke the Mrs. heart to see it go, and she actually had tears.
It's only a truck... right? It surely doesn't feel that way.

Lpherr, I'm sure you got her a nice home.

It's just sad to watch a piece of your life, go away.

When I sold my Dad's truck I think I waited about 6 months before I even accepted the guy's offer... but I should have just let it go.

Selling anything you have held onto for a long time can be very hard. Doesn't matter how useless it is, but I have pairs of boots that would cost more than new to make usable, but gosh darn it, I put good miles on them, and they won't be just thrown away.

Bedtime for me. G'night all!
