Got my umbrella base. Gotta work on the alignment.....

P.S. The car condom is because between my shade trees shedding like crazy and the desert dirt/dust thing, it's impossible to keep the Xterra clean.

**** Viagra. **** pills in general. I don't even like taking aspirin.

Funny thing though, it might have been your Mom's diaphragm.

Starting to look like the nucleus for a wild trailer park party tbh. All you need is your meth head neighbors to hand out party favors. Actually that covered area with the picnic tables would be the nucleus, but your spot would supply the flesh food and be a secondary nucleus for all the cool people who care about grilling minutiae.

Solid flat surface at all times. Was helping my neighbor across the street in learning how to create bookmarks. He had his laptop on top of a thick blanket - the thing was smoking hot. Gave him a ton of ****. He's a car nut so I explained how it's the same thing. Gotta keep the engine running as cool as possible.

He's converted.

Come visit. I'll introduce you. Pretty sad actually. Good people who can be pretty coherent and funny at times, but really crispy on the edges. Haven't met anyone yet who was actually tweaking. Just older folks who have a ****load of miles on them.

I'm told it use to be a big problem in the park, (actually most of El Cajon) but they hired a new manager a few years back who cleaned house.

They probably learned from their mistakes, but that particular model was known for being able to run too hot. I killed it by playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on it. Too much for the poor thing.
Uh-oh!

As for my day, I just got back into town last night from my trip to attend the Hackers On Planet Earth conference in Manhattan with a few friends. Saw some great talks and workshops, took in the city, and now I'm glad to be home to recharge.
... turning me off HP!

Not sure if I should tough it out and hit a course today after work, but I haven't been outside all weekend because of the itching, swelling, fever and delirium (and neck pain possibly) from ^said spider bite. I have a tournament this weekend and Ledgestone is coming up soon. I need to keep my game on point and it's perfect disc golf weather today.

Thought that was poison ivy? And I see you have Mindfulness Syndrome too, you poor guy!

ASUS eh? I had an ASUS, years ago. It was ****, but then, it was ****. Terrible specs. Very slow. 1 gig memory if I remember. Spent a lot of time looking at the clock, waiting...

This sounds good, and PC advice from you is always worth listening to.
