50 degree day here. Nice break from the cold.

Lit the grill but now the sun is going down and so is the temp.

Spent the last two days struggling with my PC upgrades to get everything to work.

Finally done and it works like a dream.

From an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 5 7600x, from a AM4 socket motherboard to an AM5, 64gb of DDR4 ram to 32gb of DDR5, and I changed out all the fans because they were getting old.

Good Monday Morning to All! It's a rainy 48° on the way to 63° today. Breakfast and getting my wife's Traverse to the top of our driveway done. She has an early appointment and the driveway is both wet and covered in fallen leaves. She probably would have made it today, but I didn't want her to be late. When it's really slick I need to back her FWD Traverse to get traction going up our steep driveway. Enjoying coffee and the Internet now.

Sounds like a worthy upgrade! Everyone always neglects the fans...

Happy Monday folks. A chilly 44 going to 70 today. Changing plugs in the '65 Corvette and found a loose connection in the process which was causing her to run rough.

didja need to replace a valve spring too?

Cold, 45, this morning. Wife wants to wait until it warms up before she joins me on the morning walk.

I've been encouraging her to walk with me to get some exercise. She's been very sedentary the past few years after her back injury and the discovery of several cracked vertebra in her lower back. Then she had surgery to remove a large cyst that was growing in her abdomen between her liver and stomach. The presence of the cyst, which had 2 liters of fluid drained during the surgery, contributed to her back problems. Dear old girl has had several other health issues the last few years and I'm hoping that walking will help.

The valve spring thing was just a guess by my buddy, after he heard it running, since he had a similar problem with his '67 Corvette some time ago. Turns out a plug wire was arching due to a crack in the insulation. New set of wires and plugs and she is running sweet.

Iffn ya can get the wifey to walk a mile or more each day it may really help with overall health. Prolly need to start slow and build up if she has been sedentary for a long time. Good luck.
