Winters here in Florida

Posted 01-16-2022 at 10:27 AM by onebuck

Hi,

Sorry for not updating until now. Been busy!

I have been here in Florida since the middle of October/21. Great weather and Golf at many courses. My game has suffered some since I've been back. Mostly injury related from maintenance on our home. I'm getting older and cannot do the things of past. I had to work on a plumbing issue that required cleaning of the drain. Turns out that a strap broke dropping the main line about 12 inches. Water doesn't run up hill very well....

Crawling Back

Posted 01-15-2022 at 11:59 PM by zaivala

As of last Sunday, I am back as a co-host of mintCast, in addition to my other duties as co-founder/co-host of Distrohoppers' Digest and news reader at Full Circle Weekly News.

I am able to do this due to an inheritance from my mother and my inability to stay at a job due to weakness resulting from an accident almost 2 years ago. So I have time on my hands and, until the inheritance runs out, enough money to live on.

I hope my listeners are happy to see me back on mintCast....

Was the OLPC XO-1 the worst laptop ever? (Part 2): Another Brick In The Wall

It was only after I was rescued--which gave me internet access among other things--that that I discovered why my OLPC mysteriously bricked on the eve of my solar power supply success and I ended up talking to Miseur Le Futbol for another couple years. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

After I had cobbled together enough solar panels from a box full of yard lights (I spared a few for cave lighting and the spikes they were stuck to were good for spearfishing, but that's another
