"Entropy will get ya' if ya' don't watch out......in fact, entropy will get ya' even if ya' DO watch out"
I am typing this in my old Win3.1 machine, as Win98 has finally decided to lose its display driver, and wont finish loading. (I have been coping with this for 2-3 years, and thought I had the procedure down...but....now it only boots into safe mode, so I am studying it all...I have boot disks, backups my Win98 CD...etc, but no 'time' today.
Add to that, it is spring, and we are having termite hatchings..(house is 95% cement...they are chewing on the occasional door frame and wood panel...I guess when they run out of food, I can put it all back...*weak grin*
A couple of trees are dying due to Gypsy moths and old age, I have cracks in the driveway that need filling, the baffles are gone in the water bed, the hot water heater has a plastic dip tube that is coming apart, two toilets are leaking and need some new parts, the few wood parts of the outside of the house need scraping & painting, my teeth are full of little cavities, and one needs a root canal, the van needs aligning and 'probably' 2 new tires soon, I got holes in my socks and underwear and jeans (heck...bought now ones only um.....4-5 years ago), I have 5 tape recorders with one working, 4 VCRS, with two working, 3 record players, with one working, 4 TVs, with 2 working.....and my toothbrush is about worn out..
Durn thing is, I feel good enough that I may live another 30 years,(93 woud be good, huh?)and I have to go and fight those other instances of entropy....but my brain can't decide where to start...*grin*
...but wrens are building a nest in a bicycle pouch stroed on the back porch...so...*shrug*, I guess I might as well take inspiration and go get at it.....will say more when I figger out what to do about Win98, my connection to the world!
