I have a head full of ideas but not enough time to accomplish them or the strength. Wishing everyone a great Labor Day.

I think weathermen need to stop relying on computers so much. They have no idea what Dorian is going to do except the next few hours.

Labor Day weekend 2019 is off to a good start. Got my oil change on my car and got most of my electronics updated and charged. Hurricane Dorian is going to miss us and I won’t have to use extra vacation time next week. I am in season 6 out of 9 of the Walton’s.
The only bad news is I have had a sinus headache for 2 days.

Happening now, stress and tension. Just when I thought everything was going great. The economy wants to tank. I am planning to be debt-free in just six more years if the economy holds it together.
On a happier note, I finished The Durrell’s of Corfu and loved it. I am still watching The Waltons and loving that series. I just started 6 season and sorry to see Richard Thomas gone on the show.
PC Gaming is becoming my favorite thing to do. I have a few games I love playing right now. A few more I want to become better in.
One last thing computer wise. Glad I have not switched back to Frontier as the lost service again and this time it has been like for a day and a half. Spectrum has been great and that has really surprised me. If they would only raise the upload speed.

I really would like to visit Corfu Greece. I think I am going to start a Visit Corfu Savings Fund should be full in about 10 years 😀. 

Lately, I have been just thinking about moving out of the City the more and more I watch the Waltons. High-Speed internet for rural America, PLEASE!

I find myself watching more old TV shows lately. I have recently started to watch The Waltons. I remember them when I was growing up, but it was not the main show. I have really enjoyed watching Season 1 on Amazon Prime. I have been enjoying watching old shows on Over the Air TV shows like All in the Family and Frasier. Sometimes I think that the old shows are better than most TV shows they come out with today and when I do get invested in one of the new shows the cancel it.

 have been thinking a lot lately about how everything is or wants to go to the cloud. I think the only thing that should be in the cloud for sure is back up. Otherwise, I prefer to have everything locally. I know that companies are pushing us to the cloud/remote storage for subscription fees and never-ending revenue for them. The internet situation in this Country is not very good. I am lucky to live in an area that has broadband (although both the companies that can service us are not the greatest). I could also settle with music in the cloud and streaming it (as this is not bandwidth intensive).

Watching the Microsoft E3 Xbox Presentation today, I did realize something that might be worth thinking about in the future. With as powerful as the next generation Xbox will be next year on its release and keyboard and mouse support added (not a big controller fan). People can own a cheap to moderately priced PC/Laptop and the next-gen Xbox and come out cheaper than having a full-blown gaming PC. I am seriously considering this in the future. The only thing that would keep me from doing that at this time is I am heavily invested in the Steam store/eco-system and modestly invested in the Epic store and EA Origin platform. Plus all the games I have on disk. If there was a way to bring them over at no charge I will become fully invested this way. I would love just having a nice laptop and the Xbox (with mouse and keyboard) for my gaming system.

In the above scenario, I still would like to have local storage. That way I am not dependent on internet access. I would like to get out of the city/suburban area and go to a rural area if fiber was ubiquitous. Well, just me thinking out loud. What do you think? 

April is coming to a close and this has been one of the better ones for me. I turned 50 and they had a surprise party for me at work. The only thing that has not changed and makes me sad is my finances. Gratefully, I only have 3 more years until this new car is paid off and my money problems should be behind me.

Well, hope everyone is doing great. April went by fast. I am hoping May and June does too.

April is my favorite month, but for the last few years it has been my worst as far as life itself. I have been sick the last few April’s in the beginning. Just want this year to be better and so far it is ok as I am not sick. I used to be able to take the whole month off and would. For the last 10 years that has not happened 😩.

I also need a haircut going to try and go get one tomorrow.
