ANyone see the weather we had in Central IL yesterday?!!! We had 7 tornados and baseball sized hail!!!! Everyone I know only had minor damage, but it leveled hundred of homes!!! Tons of places still without power and have been told it will be 5-7 days until they get it back

-The Great

 

Most of the tornadoes we have around here seems to be human ones. A night hasn't gone by without emergency vehicles going by - and this is out in the country...

I figured out why my PC is acting up too, it only has 128K of memory all of a sudden. And unfortunately they are an old kind with two keyways in the cardslots instead of just one.

SO! When it can't think/remember anymore, it quits

 

Clint---glad to hear that you were fortunate in the tornado weather. We had some pretty rough stuff last year with about 15 tornadoes wreaking havoc across the area. Be safe, and watch for looters. Thieves have no honor.

 

Thanks Mac. Several family and friends are still without power. Some wont' get it back until the weekend

-THe Great

 

We are glad you are safe Clint.

 

Wednesday----sunny and warmer.

Hopefully, everyone else is sunny and warm.

*Correction to above: 128M. 128K isn't enough to run DOS 6.0

Pups are now large and loud, almost 3 weeks. Funny to listen to, and tomorrow I'm putting together a larger pen for them - about a 4 x 8 with 24" tall sides. OR four by eight with a four foot front side that folds down. If I do that, it has to be fastened to a wall in back.

I've started trying to feed them by hand to wean them away from Momma...
Fortunately they don't have much in the way of teeth yet



4th or 5th reboot:
One day I will enshrine this computer in a big block of polyester resin with a brass plate that reads:

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! I MADE YOU WORK ANYWAY!!!"


~So there, I expressed my frustration


*It lasts about ten minutes, so I have to be quick

I just got my new SUMMIT catalog, JEGS ought to be right behind it

Also a cat from a place called: "GENUINE HOTROD HARDWARE" !!!
~That catalog is downright silly....

T-shirts, models, everything except hotrod parts


Like "FINGERHUT" for 'Rodder Wannabees

If you have more than you need for parts - I suppose it's got a lot of cool stuff to decorate the shop with, but all of my stuff like that I collected the hard way.

I suppose it has its place

TOYS!!!

 

Thursday----turns out it is a gloomy, cloudy but warm day.

I rushed home from work yesterday to get the FINAL mowing of the year completed. I also used "creative" mowing patterns to blow all the leaves into rows/piles for easier raking. The whole process was over in less than 2 hours, which was good---but still needed the flood lights in the back yard of the estate to finish the last of the leaves. Probably will have to rake one or two more times, by the looks of the trees around the estate.

Hope everyone has a great day----an especially hope that Clint's kin will get their homes squared away SOON.

 

Thanks Mac, some more got power yesterday, but there are still a few without.
