6693 - Boomers are the problem

Maybe it's time to move into a retirement home. Seems like sex, drugs, and rock and roll are back!

6692 - Halloween is coming

Post 6691 is still in effect.

6691 - Thursday trees

 Bilbo has picked up Thursday trees while I'm playing unenthusiastic computer repairman.

And you know what's weird. When I get irritated enough at the computer and stop for awhile, I'm getting other things done around the house I've been putting off for a long time. Go figure...

6690 - Could be a long pause coming

 Well I may be gone for a little bit. Right now I'm on Claudia's computer because mine is fighting me to the Nth degree. I power down, power up, logon, and 60 to 90 seconds later it freezes and nothing gets it out of the freeze except a power down. 60 to 90 seconds isn't very long to analyze something. 

So it may be time to get another computer. Mine is 10 years old with a forced Windows 11 on it. I hesitate to reload windows from scratch because I have so much stuff I don't want to lose. Backup? It wouldn't load it. It froze. Anything I'm trying just freezes after 90 seconds. 

Some of the things I try that should work come back as failed. I don't know how long this will take. One day I'll be back.

I'll try and check in on people from Claudia's computer but it's a floor away and on the other side of the house. If you don't hear from me again, send someone to check in my basement.

6689 - Long joke Sunday

A drunk gets up from the bar and heads

for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a

loud, blood-curdling scream is heard

from the bathroom. A few minutes

after that, another loud scream

reverberates through the bar. The

bartender goes into the bathroom to

investigate why the drunk is

screaming. "What's all the screaming

about in there? You're scaring the

customers!" "I'm just sitting here on the

toilet, and every time I try to flush,

something comes up and squeezes the

hell out of my testicles." With that, the

bartender opens the door, looks in, and

says ... "You idiot! You're sitting on the

mop bucket!"
