Well, shoot!

 So, I haven't blogged in a few days cause my laptop is on the edge of dying.  Therefore, I'm writing this on my music laptop that I use for games.

 I'm sure some folks are asking, how do you know that your laptop is on the edge of dying?  Well, when you can't keep it running for more than five minutes, it doesn't take much to figure it out.

 Over the last couple of days, I've done some heavy research and put together a solid HP computer.  The same size as my old laptop (17") and will be smoking fast.  The hard drive is a 1TB SATA, 16GB of RAM and I went a little big time as I got a backlit keyboard, with the numeric keypad (after having it for so long, and as many spreadsheets as I do, I won't have a keyboard without it).

 While waiting for the new laptop, which by the way had great discount of over $130, I won't be uploading any videos for the new channel. Which honestly, is a good thing.  I went down to the Gaslamp Quarter this past Saturday to do what was supposed to be going up tomorrow.  I was waking up and down Fifth Ave, not bothering anyone that was dining, from 8:30p until 11:00p and got TWO folks to actually answer the question (What is your most unique talent?).

 Going in, I thought that with drunk folks and a simple question, it could be an interesting episode.  Now, I'm not even sure that I will release the episode.  I might go back down and try and get more people.

 This weeks question is, "Mayo or Mustard? and Why?"  I am going to a bonfire with a group that I'm in on Facebook.  I'll be asking the question there to see if I can't get some answers.  I'll also be going to Balboa Park on Sunday and try and get some more folks there.

 In other things, I've begun golfing again.  I'm going in the same way that I did when I first began golfing,  Going to executive courses to sort of dial in my irons and wedges.  Then mixing in full courses to get the driver and woods out of the bag.  Back on the 19th I went to Pine Glenn at Sycuan.  For the first time, I got back to back pars!

 I was supposed to go tomorrow (Wednesday, March 3) but since there is a 70-90% chance of rain while we were going to be golfing the three-some has decided to rearrange and go on Monday the 8th at 11a.

 So, now while we wait for the new laptop, I'll practice my golf game and work a game or two.  Speaking of which, the reason (besides money) why I didn't golf last week, I worked eight games in six days.  It would've been 11 in 10 days but a soccer match and a basketball game were cancelled due to the opposition catching the virus.  I had a really good hang out session with a couple of co-workers after the game last Tuesday.  The highlight of that eight game stretch was being able to step in and do the senior day activities and starting lineups on Saturday for the Men's Basketball team.
