Yes. A big part of why it is so frustrating to me is that many years ago, I was that geek that would go to people's houses and fix their stuff. It was a great time actually. Finding my way to a farm without a GPS, and fix their stuff without access to internet (what's a Google?), and they would most often make dinner for me while I was there. If I did need to get on the internet, it would certainly be on dial-up (I can still recognize connection rates just by the sound), and would take forever. My USB Thumb Drive was a laptop and a parallel cable, or open the box and add a temporary IDE hard drive. Or my beloved box of 3.5" floppy disks with a plethora of drivers from many years of collecting.
It's not the same any more. Windows 10 is supposed to do all that stuff for you, and when it doesn't, you're kinda hooped. Like Michael and a carburetor, I prefer being able to turn a screw or two (jumpers or dip-switches), set an address and IRQ, and make it do what it is supposed to do.
Holy s**t! I just realized that I am old, and this world has passed me by.
That would be fun. Have taken out some of them critters with my Tavor. Was itching to try my 338 Lapua but thought the noise might attract the neighbors.....from 15 Klms away.....sadly sold that oneI’ll take you up on that invite ! Can I bring a friend? He’s got an HK-92 I’d like to unleash.
Hmmmmmm, I’ve been looking for something that a bottle of Italian Cannoneau might be well suited for ... a tough wine to find in stores (known as Spanish Grenache as well) read that it is hinted for pairing with ground red meat.Bearzagna!
That’s really nice work.well last 3 weeks I been doing something totally different , I built a church. I look after our church and cemetery here and I wanted to make a replica of the first church our pioneers built in 1910 . It was in the country with the cemetery , stood there 1910 to 1946 , then dismantled and they built a new and bigger one in what became a town . So I built a replica to put back out there to honor all those who gave so much back then . Just had it in town at our Praznyk service on sunday and then will move it out to the cemetery where it once stood. Was a rain rain week so I could not get out there in time . Only 4 x 8 and 10' to the top of the cross , cedar shingles too like the original , made imitation stained glass windows also . Loaded it on the deck truck and hauled it 7 miles down. Was a real surprise to see for everyone as no one knew I was doing it.

Hey XFire, I feel ya on the downsizing, as we just sold our single detached and got us a townhouse in April.As my farming days are ending , downsized and sold 7 bins here, today was the last of them gone. Just a few pics of what loading one is all about . I had them on cement rings, , place some supports inside so they don't collapse in transport ,10 minutes to unbolt , then strap to the carrier lay it down and gone. Now I got 7 14 foot cement circles on the ground so I just placed a 58 Pontiac on one just to see what I can do now.

If you put a rose in the middle of the ring you could invite the neighbors over for a BBQ and play ring around the rosie.As my farming days are ending , downsized and sold 7 bins here, today was the last of them gone.
