How old is your son? My kids loved the Wii when they were little. With a little research and a little time you can softmod it (install the HomeBrew channel and a USB loader) to play games from a USB external hard drive (probably can do it off a thumb drive too). I've done this to a half dozen Wii systems for friends. The games can be found and downloaded at various websites.

$70 for a Wii system on e-bay
$40 for a external hard drive or thumb drive: 250, 500 ish GB depending on how many games you want to store (each Wii game is about 2-3 GB)
$10 for a small capacity SD card

Couple hours (mostly waiting time) to install the softmod software onto the Wii and for under $150 you'll have more games than you want. From lame ones to cool ones: the Lego series' of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Batman, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Rock Band, Dance Party, Zelda, Mario Cart, Wii Sports, Madden NFL... there's a whole $#!+ ton of them. I think I have a bit over 200 games archived.

Softmoding it is legal and pretty easy to do. It changes nothing to the system other than opening features that are already in place. The old Wii system has some features that are built in that were going to be uncovered with future software upgrades. Things like on-line gaming, using it as a streaming box, web browser/interface using it as a DVD player, chat, e-mail... They lost market share to X-Box and PlayStation so they abandoned the that platform and further development in favor of the Wii Switch platform in order to compete.

I can't imagine why you don't just stay in the hills while it's God-awful hot during the summer months.

Currently 61 with a predicted high of 84. I've got the whole-house fan running since last night. 67 degrees in the house right now. I'm gonna let it run for a bit more and then close the house up. AC may not even kick on today.


First world problems. Can't go too long without maintenance on the other house especially the pool and garden. Also had some appointments like doctor to take care of.

Glad you are better, Ram!


G'Day all, gonna be a busy rest of the week for us. Headed to Nashville in the morning to the youngest daughter's. We are the preferred "dog sitters" when they're busy and I guess getting married is busy, LOL. Our two little yappers and her two Border collies, luckily they get along, or at least tolerate each other. Rehearsal tomorrow night and then to Fat Bottom Brewery to celebrate with a rehearsal "dinner". Not sure how much eating will be happening at a place called Fat Bottom, hehe! Wedding Friday night and we will stay at their home with all the dogs, not a first and surely not the last, either.

I'm taking a handful of "one off" and hard to find bottles of whiskey and maybe a very old bottle of BAs Armagnac. Can't take it with me, and that's why I have a large selection, to share. Also gonna buy a couple of bottles of local Bourbon/SOur Mash Whiskey and let the Groom have his close friends sign the bottles with a Silver Sharpie and then keep them to sip on every anniversary they can celebrate. Also gonna take some cigars and likely weed out the weak, HEHE!

Gonna be interesting since the bride wants me and her Father to "share" walking her down then aisle. Nt sure if he's gonna be agreeable, but at 30, she's grown and can make her own decisions. She didn't care for me when I married her mother, (she actually admits that she was horrible to me, hehe) but I put her in an uppity private HS and have been her "cheerleader" during all her years since. Sadly, her Father favored her older Sister and didn't help her with barely anything. It is what it is, so I just do what she asks, within reason.

Might be an interesting add to the zoom call if I'm there at the house Sat. night, just not sure what time. We've been invited to a rather interesting "Private Condo" called the Whiskey House. It's a local realtor's extra condo turned "speakeasy" and has over 2500 bottles of Whiskey. I'm taking a few to add to his selection and he's offered to let the wedding party come to partake!! This will be quite the experience. He doesn't allow many folks into that place, but he's been wanting to host a "Wedding Party".



DOn't be BAD!

Scottsdale Costco? Had to work around that for the last two months.

Yup. We finally got to the bottom of our Pandemic TP pile and the last pack was some prison reject TP. I said "no way not for my derriere, and went to Costco for some velvety Charmin. Saw the pumps were finally open and coasted in on fumes to fill up. I got gas at a Chevron once while Costco pumps were down and I felt like I was cheating on Costco...

definitely a life pleasure I enjoyed twice...and hopefully only twice...

only feeling that exceeded that, to me, was the birth of the grand babies...



gonna be in the mid-80's this week, a welcome cooling trend after a couple weeks above 100...maybe the kids and grandkids will give the pool a break...skimming it daily is causing my back and wrists to ache...

LOL, he's rather protective of that place. Can't blame him. We met during a special distillery event and he doesn't allow many folks into his circle of friends. Privacy of something like that is of the utmost. He's never hosted a wedding party and is looking forward to doing so.

Made it home, washed the mud out of and off of the truck and camper, refuled and returned to my parents.

We had a good time overall. Wife got too drunk and I had to help her to bed, been guzzling water all day she's still hungover.

Mowed the lawn as soon as everything was settled. Got some dominos pizza n cheesy bread. Started second load of laundry after dinner. Now for a shower and ...nothing else. I'm beat. The rough hiking wrecked my knees kinda struggling to do stairs.

Wife's parents really screwed up... because our daughter is such high risk, having spent 10 days in the icu of our local children's hospital and almost dying from a relatively minor virus, we have to be especially careful.... we don't go out shopping.... everything gets delivered... we don't go around other people, ever... it's difficult, but it's what we have to do right now to ensure our daughters safety...

Wife's parents have not seen our kids since March despite the fact that they live down the street... wife asked if they'd be interested in quarantining for 10 days so the kids can see them... they say yes, of course we'd be happy to.... yesterday was day 8 and I went to deliver some Costco to them and they had their oldest son - who believes the virus is make believe and who'd just left a doctors appointment - over at their house with his family... and they didn't care... they were clearly going to lie to us about having been quarantined...

I don't care what anyone's view on the virus is... i won't treat anyone differently or judge anyone based on what they think about it... but if you say you're quarantined and then come around my daughter and I find out you lied to me and put my daughter at risk, we're done with one another...

I sent them a nice message, reminding them how much we love them but explained that we wouldn't be visiting anytime soon... wife is pretty upset... her mom is a liar and always has been but we didn't think she'd do something this dirty...

So... 84 hours of steeping appears to be ideal. Coffee finally has a delicious dark black color, even in a thin glass bottle. Nice and strong.

Huh. Gonna have to speed that process up.

Yeah... It's just not something I want to wait for every week. And I certainly don't want to set up like 3 carafes....

Although, now that it's good, I may transfer the remaining 1 day of coffee to a jar so I can get started on the next batch. That'll get me past the terrible first day of steeping
