This is from the memory card I left in the camera. The last time I used it was sometimes in August 2022.
Bird and Box
Piece of Mind, Painkiller, and Divine Intervention
On December 7, 2025 Iron Maiden shared the news of Nicko McBrains’s retirement from touring.
While perusing Iron Maiden’s catalogue, I started listening to these records one after another for a reason.
- Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden (1983)
- Painkiller by Judas Priest (1990)
- Divine Intervention by Slayer (1994)
These three records have two things in common and they are:
- The records opened with drums
- Each record is the debut of a new drummer in the band
Solid State Drives
I was in need of some Solid State Drives (SSDs) for an assignment. I remembered that I had a few salvaged computers equipped with SSDs. In a little time I managed to scavenge for two SSDs.
I only needed these SSDs for a short term project so I wouldn’t have to worry about their read & write cycles.
Could this be Magic?
I went to the store, musing for a birthday gift and I decided to get another LEGO kit. Well, it’s not as expensive as the “Tuxedo Cat” LEGO, but it is still a cat one. As a matter of fact it is a kit to build Bird, Cat, or Dog.
Could this be magic…
Better save women and children first.
Van Halen sounds so good.

Two Weeks Later…
Oh yes, we had crazy winds, wildfires, and now freeze warning in Southern California.
It has been pretty cold and yes I would like to see freezing temperatures in Southern California.
Rage Against Non-Existent Customer Service
I’m just having hard times contacting customer service today. The issue started late last week with a vague message. I made number of calls and attempted to chat with customer service. I got different answers each time or no responses whatsoever.
I should calm down and forget this issue. It’s not worth my sanity.
