So I finally got m y birthday presents….

So, my birthday was a month and change ago. My sister got my brother and I tickets to Whose Live Is It Anyway. We saw the show this past Saturday. Greg Proops can not pronounce Puyallup. My brother paid for the Uber to/from the Fair, and also for the Earthquake Burger. Normally, I’d just buy the big present myself. I grew up in a not-so-well-to-to house, and I don’t want to break somebody else’s bank. But still, I appreciate what I got this year. It’s the thought that counts first. And seeing the show live and a Really Large Onion Cheeseburger aren’t all that bad.

SO last week, I took a look at my finances, and saw that they were in sufficient order that I decided to get myself something special. An AMD Radeon RX6600 CLD 8G. Unlike my previous card, this one was not DOA from Newegg (though props to them for the quick and painless replacement of that one).

I built this tower in June of 2019. Since then, the only part that I haven’t replaced is my TV Tuner card. Yes, it’s a work in progress….

Just chillin’

I’m just chilling out right now. The over night lows are starting to get into the ‘40s (fahrenheit if you’re keeping score at home). When I ran the AC, only the fan ran. It was too cool for the compressor to kick on. So, tonight I’ve taken down the AC hose, and I’ve put my window fan back in. I figure in a couple of weeks, the fan will be taken down, and I’ll close the window until spring….

Didn’t go to work tonight….

So, yesterday was my Grandmother’s birthday. And so we had a family reunion. Lots of fun. Good food. But it was right in the middle of when I should’ve been sleeping. I know what my priorities are. So, I booked the night off. And I got it. So I have the night off.

In memory of Mother, I brought a two liter of strawberry soda. There’s a story behind this. When we were growing up in Graham, mom bought a bottle of it from the local Safeway. Somehow on the car ride home, it got shaken. All I’m going to say is that I didn’t do it. Any how, it gets home, and she opened it. And I think to this day, there’s a stain on the ceiling from it.

So, I brought it as a throwback my siblings and I to remember she who could be at the family gathering anymore….

Russell was back....

What a way to start your weekend. With a Seahawks game on Monday night. He got booed. The same treatment that Mark Langston got when he left the Mariners. It went down to the wire, bite in the end the Seahawks won on the last play. When Denver chose to pull Russell Wilson for a kicker to make a 64 yard kick (with a only 1 in 8 chance of making it). Ave there are also the red zone fumbles. Denver, you're supposed to score with the ball, not give it back to us.... 

The Seahawks won the game. By one point. Russell Wilson will need a booster seat for the flight home, after he was handed his ass.
