What Part Of Hell Has Frozen Over?

Watching the Mariners game tonight (normally a hallmark that they’ll lose). And they won the game. Not only did they win, but they have a winning record for now. And they’re leading the division. Granted it’s only April, but still what part of hell has frozen over today?

More Adventures On A Day Off…

So I set up my air conditioner last week (something to do with my room being about 10 degrees warmer than outside  and I have issues trying to sleep when it hits the ‘70s). And since I’ve set it up, I’ve hear the compressor kick in about three times…. Now that I’ve set it up, I don’t need it.

Watched a little bit of the Mariners game tonight. And they won. Normally when I watch the game, they lose….

So, it’s the middle of my weekend now…

I paid two bills and made my bed last night. I think that’s all the adulting I need to do. Period.

Starting to Heat Up Here…

Global Warming is real. But this isn’t going to be a commentary on it. It’s an average spring here. But it’s still spring. And the daytime temps are starting to get up there. It’s still comfortable, shirt-sleeve weather. But the issue is I have to sleep during the day, and I have a western-facing window. And right outside my window is the maintenance yard for Bunce Rental. And my window opens to Pacific Avenue. So when it’s shirt-sleeve weather, I can’t just open my window because while I can sleep through many things, I can’t sleep through the sounds of traffic or unmuffled two stroke engines.

Global Warming is real. And I just set up my air conditioner for the season today. Though I think I can get away with just the fan setting for now….

OJ did it…

Actually they only found one glove at the scene. And who do we know who wore one glove? OJ didn’t do it. Michael did it. But whatever. OJ is now no more….

KPLZ jumps the shark….

I grew up in a military family. When we were stationed in Germany, the only english speaking radio/tv stations were run by the Army (via afrts/afn). So I had no choice in the music on the radio. It was all Army issue. The one plus about that was the really kick ass anime after school programming….

So we get stateside, Dad retired from the Army, and settled down, and then I got my first radio. At first the 2 stations I listened to were KUBE and KPLZ. Both were Top-40 format. There was also KNBQ, but soon that station was sold and it went to Oldies. So most of my first mix-tapes were recorded off of those two stations. KUBE eventually went to rap, and there were a couple of other stations that were here and there. Eventually KPLZ was sold and it became Star 101.5. Format eventually be came Adult Contemporary, but I still listened to it. Then I got a CD player. As my mix tapes that I recorded off the radio wore out, I started downloading my music. And I’ve had a CD Burner ever since my first computer (currently, I have two: a Blu-Ray, and a DVD, both burners). While this was all happening, Star101.5 was sold again, but the format remained the same. Then I moved to streaming. Specifically Spamazon Prime music. I no longer need to fumble for CDs, or worry about having to point an antenna in a specific direction.

Fast forward to April 1 this year. When KPLZ switch to country. So now they’re going to hire Ted McGinley as a DJ, since they’ve pretty much jumped the shark. BTW, KUBE is now KJR, and they’re now a sports format….

Hopefully The End Of It….

So when we left our hero last week, I had apparently decided upon Windows 10 with the intent to stick with it since I had realized that not only could I run Windows Subsystem for Android on it, but I could do it with Google Play and root access. So early Monday morning, I finished setting it up. And then I promptly wanted to go Windows 11 again. Problem is I can’t sleep when my computer is downloading stuff, and whenever I do a clean install, it is 3 days straight just downloading games.

So I decided to just do an in-place upgrade. I only had to reinstall 3 drivers, 4 programs, and WSA. Now normally, I’d prefer to do a clean install, but then again, I don’t want to constantly wipe and rebuild my system…

10 Years On….

Sometimes the best way to show someone respect is to wish them well and simply leave them be.
