    F1

    I am really bored by NASCAR. If it weren't for Danica I wouldn't watch at all. Now F1 is REAL racing. Good opener in OZ. Kimi is back. :) No crashes, none, just good clean racing. Extraordinary drive by Sutil. There were 7 World Championships on the podium at the end.

    This is embarrassing.

    When I retired sixteen years ago I was a state of the art technician and instructor in a Tech College. That was before we called it IT, it was just electronics then. Now I have a desk top 'puter with a broadband wireless internet connection in one room and a nice, new "Smart" big screen TV in...

    This RATZAKRATZA keyboard doesn't work correctly

    Sometimes I type 20 or 30 characters. When I look at the screen maybe 12 to 15 characters are displayed. I changed the batteries (HP wireless) and went through the troubleshooting for the USB port. It claimed "device is working properly". I updated the driver. Said driver is the best one. Now...

    Pearl Harbor

    Seventy one years ago today, on a Sunday evening, I sat in the living room of our Carolina Beach, NC home with my family listening to The Jack Benny Show on the big Philco console radio. The show was interrupted to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor that drew us into the greatest war ever. I...

    Anyone know the Dragon?

    I have seen a software package called Dragon advertised on TV. It claims to convert speech into printed text. Anyone have experience with this? What is the format of finished files? How about vocabulary? It is becoming increasingly painful for me to type. Could I use Dragon to moderate and to...

    Eastern bluebirds in the Fall

    I have a nice population of eastern bluebirds that use the four nest boxes I have mounted around my yard. I have noticed the past few days that they are "investigating" all of the boxes. . .looking inside but not entering. I wonder if they are looking for roosting places to spend nights and...

    Scam-o-grams, and a new twist.

    I get 8 to 12 scam-o-grams a day. You know, the ones that tell you they have millions of bux for you if you just surrender your life history and/or send a few hundred bux through Western Union. Danged nuisance. Got a new twist today. This one says that the Republic of Benin has authorized them...

    Spark plugs

    I hate to see so many boaters wasting so much money replacing spark plugs. In 50 years of boating I replaced two sets of plugs. I put Champions in an outboard I had just bought to replace ACs, and I replaced a set of surface gap plugs that simply wore out. All of the others I simply cleaned...

    Garmin GPSMAP276C internal battery?

    I have had this unit for about 7 years. It has always worked fine for marine or auto applications. . . until the last year or so. When first turned on after being off for several hours or more it has no idea where it is or what the date/time are. It goes into autolocate for a few minutes and...
