    Hello everyone how are you today?

    Well yesterday I think there was an acute food shortage out on my route, I was very heavy, but I had a helper and we made fairly quick work which was good because the acute food shortage needed to be stopped. Right now there's no acute food shortage on my Friday route and you're free no strike that encouraged to go to all my stops and order as much food as you can. Prices vary between $10-$40 a plate and please bring the wife and kids there hungry too.

    Anyhow, I found this cool channel on You Tube called Extra History and I was learning all about things of various interest to me such as The 1918 Flu Pandemic and The Cold War and now here's the trouble I've always liked computer games, but never had the right system for computer games. Well I wanted to play a couple games one that I have that's an older one, but my computer is too updated for a game from 2000 and it's to old (2012 and doesn't have the power to play the newer games.) It can open up and play the newer games, but the play is very choppy and the video card is maxed out when it comes to newer games so it's not really fun so pfffftttttt.

    So I'm kind of at a loss for that. A new gaming computer that I would need to buy is around $886.00 specified to what I want and because of the big capital improvements project I have slated for this Spring $886.00 isn't in the budget so were pretty much out the door on that one.

    I used to build computers; just join a PC hardware forum and purchase everything on newegg.com

    Most nerds will charge 100-200 bucks to build it, and that's even a little on the being nice side.
     
    Bob Dobalina and Mike2633 Thank this.

    Yeah that's the downside, you have to grow your own. They're pretty much useless for the first five years, then again from 16-23. It's a long term investment...
     
    speedyk, Mike2633 and misterG Thank this.

    Rumor is the truck wash is down for the count and were going to have some dirty trailers this winter.

    Well everyone it's dark season again. Be careful out there it doesn't get light till like 9:00am anymore.

    This morning I was heading down to 5th stop and it was about 8:30am and I thought goodness it's 8:30am and the light was starting peak out, but it's still pretty dark.

    That just helps it get dark even earlier...not too long before shortest day of year.
