Something good for a laugh

Good for a laugh or two ;-)

Busy busy busy

 Yes am still alive and kicking...just been so busy of late I barely have time to hit any of the blogs, let alone update this one.

Rest assured that I hope to be able to slow things down some and be able to hang out here more and do stuff I want to really do.

Oh and I have three words for the recent fun in Afghanistan....'raging dumpster fire'

More soon...watch your 6!

Finally, a farewell to Fry's Electronics

 Fry's Electronics is a well-known (on the west coast) electronics and computer outlet.  They have had a store here in Vegas since the late 1990's, and I have built several computers from the parts I have purchased from them, as well as a goodly amount of DVDs for my collection.

During the past 3-4 years, the quality of goods available at Fry's had steadily decreased, along with a seeming inability to restock their inventory.  Various folks, me included, have figured it was only a matter of time until they finally fold up.

Yesterday morning, it finally happened (from their website):

So it's finally consigned to history.  All I can say is that it was fun while it lasted,

New year, hopefully a better one

 Now that the new year is on us, there is some cautious optimism that this one should be better.  With old 'Sleepy Joe' about to take over from 'The Donald', it should get interesting on the political front.

On a personal note, I did get my first COVID-19 vaccination this past week.  I got the Moderna vaccine, which will require a second shot around the first of next month.  Although I have already had been infected and suffered through this crud, it's still a good idea to get the vaccine; if nothing else, it will keep my immunity boosted.  As for side effects, the only noticeable one was just pain at the injection side, which at its worst lasted about 2 days, then subsided.  Tylenol does help with it, and made the pain manageable.  

Looking forward to the weather warming up again, although overall the temps have not been as cold as it had been, no hard freezes so far.
