OSUT 257: Spring is Finally Here. Bring on the Outdoor Fun and Grilling Season!

[DoggyDaddy]

Man, I really thought it was going to be nice and sunny today, but it keeps getting gloomier and gloomier.

Speaking of computers, back a bit, I keep getting a message from MS in my quick launch bar that my OS (running Win10, hdw too old to update) will no longer be supported as of next year.

Built this desktop maybe 8yrs ago for a Win7 license.
It still does everything just fine, but it's quite old now. Keep it in my garage/shop. I say, "HI," in the mornings with it.

Inside, near my sound gear, is another running Win Server '03 (XP based, believe it or not) for my digital music library. (enormous!)
Older, but you don't need much computer brain to play music, even at super high res.

That one has never heard of the internet. Every service disabled except for playing music. All hard wired just to sound gear. All streaming is through different hdw, not touching.

At least MS is giving me a year and a half to build up a more current box.

Kind of been planning this task as a father son project, one for each of us, but the young's interest wavers.

Not buying him a mobo; it'll be his baby. He needs to show me some study work he's done, choices he's made, get another job, etc.

I hate drop the "Whatever" card on him, but he seems to be holding a full hand of them, lately.

No amount of gloom defeats baked beans and ribs for the short run.
You got this!

Some errands, a Hey, boy, and a Honey do.

Up from mine. Gonna go get gas for the mower then go to Crew Carwash.

That trip out did not take nearly as long as I had feared it might.

Roads are empty!
Except for a few welcome reminders that leg season is here.
Done and done.

Here it is a little later and still very pleasnt out.
House open all day!

I don't think the forecasted temp will happen unless near sunset impresses.

We're up to 68* now. A few breaks in the clouds. Breeze is dying down a little.

 

[BeDome]

Sun is blasting, then gone behind a cloud convoy.
It seems like a slow motion strobe light show.

I have begun. Thank you.
