I feel your pain.
McMansion across the street has been ongoing for 2 1/2 years and they just started gutting another house diagonal to me.

 

You know how the dealer sends out the junk mail for trade ins?

They've been after my F'n'J for a while. Couple months back they offered 29k and now they're up to 34.5k and a SR5 4Runner for 6k. That's what I paid in 2014.
Think i'll hang on to it for a spell.

 

I'm not sure what's going to happen across the street. We have a big empty field that's partially zoned for commercial, not sure about the rest. Luckily nothing has happened yet. Hoping nothing for as long as I live.

 

RIP Uncle Frank.....

 

I got him the ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition. The 20xx range was only an option if he had more A's on his report card. It's a fast card so far. We've only had it running since last night so we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks. The deal my son and I put together had varying levels of components, depending on how many A's and B's he had on his report card. I gave him an incentive to get his grades up. I'll probably give him some upgrade options for next semester.

I haven't done my own build for years. My desktop is still running great. I did have to replace monitors about a year ago. Otherwise, my system is about 6 or 7 years old. At least my main one is. I actually have about a dozen other computer systems around the house. All from the 3 month old laptop to the 18 year old server still running.

 

On the plus, they're going to be higher end units so I should see a bump in property value. We knew this was going to happen when we bought the place so can't really complain.

 

camping sounds fun. thanks for the well wishes but.....I gotta work it oh well

 

4 hours of Jiu-Jitsu today

 

I took a nap

 

Don’t ever sell the FJ, that thing is a soon to be classic.

 

Evening Everyone !!!!!!

 

Evening Marine

 

I clean my muzzleloader with Gunk and hot water!

 

That is the same surgery my dad had! cut esopigus and pulled stomach up. that was 15yrs ago!

 

I used Aircraft cleaning solvent which was TCE or PCE while I was on Active duty in the Marines in the early 80's

That solvent practically stripped the firearm of any oil and or carbon

 

When I worked for an airport in Arizona in the 80's, they were involved in a TCE lawsuit. A tenant who leased hanger space and refurbished old aircraft in the 50's, washed the TCE off the plane, on to the tarmac and on the ground.... Made its way to the ground water and all the attorneys sued everyone.....

I didn't know they still made GUNK... Reminds me of my brother cuz he sprayed GUNK on everything.... Smells like.... Well, to me it smells like small block Chevy since he was a Chevy guy. Memories.

 

Google MCAS El Toro toxic waste !!!! , that's my old duty station . Marines have been dumping TCE and PCE into the ground since the early 50's

MCAS EL TORO is now the site of a Superfund cleanup site and many Marines have passed on due to the chemical exposure

 

Nothing wrong with the Ti series, it's a darn fine group of cards. I only upgrade every 5 years so I figured WTF. My card was stupid expensive, but should last a while. I can now work at home, play games and surf without ever redlining the PC. Crazy how technology has changed.

 

I bet they finish before my 500 sq ft addition is done

I still have a 21 inch diag monitor. Meh, I cant see what I am missing

 

Monitors are something I rarely upgrade. I only buy Viewsonic and I know how to repair the caps when they go bad. My main monitor was a gift from the wife, but the side ones are old 22 inchers.
