I hope not, the PS5 sold out in 10 minutes but I think Msoft has more Xboxes that Sony had PS5's. We'll see at 8am!

Good morning mixers. My work has stayed busy for the last couple weeks and it sure feels good. The days go by much faster.
Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?
Yes! For once I have plans! Order a Xbox at 8am, sleep, then the 20 yr old GD is coming over with her boyfriend who is a notary - and we need a notary for my retirement paperwork.
My son and his friends are going to Game Stop to preorder the Xbox at noon. Congratulations on your pending retirement!!!! That's HUGE! I bet you are thrilled.
The best dragon slayers are simply wiser, and more experienced, not old. Waiting for:
Last I heard they were pretty sure they would be releasing ES VI before the end of the century.
Plans today, and every day when I can, are to further myself down the path of a career switch. Just started learning Java(programming language) yesterday on a phone app, but going to get some books soon. I jokingly commented in a thread yesterday "vaping causes aging" that I spontaneously learned Portuguese from vaping. But I wish that were true, only that I wish I spontaneously learned Java. I do have experience, albeit very long ago, in writing/creating HTML websites.. so that helps a tiny bit.
This winter I'll be hitting the books hard, hopefully typing away furiously learning/writing code at my computer, and working to get certifications. Without a degree, certifications are my only option at the moment.. which to many employers, is just as good as, and sometimes even better than, a degree. Long ago, I graduated high school early and immediately(the day after) got a job with an IT consultant company, but without any official qualifications/schooling. I've had quite a few different jobs, but I kinda wish I had stuck with IT.. although, my life wouldn't have shaped out to be what it is and I wouldn't be with my wife. I wouldn't change the past, but I can change my future WITH my wife by my side.

Morning, all. Still no real rain, just promises, promises... but enough wind from the right direction to keep the air clear, so we'll just keep hoping the promises come true. (They will, eventually. It's that time of year.)

Thanks RJ! Yes after 41 years I'll be retired. Pay will change as will medical coverage but we are looking into those things now.
Think of all the time you will have now to play XBox! You get good enough to be a professional gamer.
I remember when Pong came out, the first video game. At almost 65 I'm not "pro gamer" material but I try.
HEEYY - How are You? Ya' got any plans today?
My plans are boring, to say the least . . . No mixing or developing new e-liquid recipes . . . No Shopping for more "Stuff" for the stash or looking for the best MOD out there . . .
All I have to do is finish 3-mugs of morning/wake-up coffee, take a shower, get dressed . . . And then go to the pharmacy to pick-up the meds they forgot to add in the monthly order( NOT NICE - 1 of "My" Heart Pills), then come back to sort and distribute the 19 pills I take (out of 26 medications) into the appropriate pill box days for the month . . .
Then try to find out why the UPS back up battery is 'SCREAMING" at me this time . . . Which means crawling under and taking it out from behind the desk, find & untangle all the cords and then remove all the plugs - once that is done, find if I possibly have to replace core again or get a new one then replace everything . . . BTW: Not fun for an Old Man who can't get down and up from the floor that easily . . .
So really - not that much to do - like I said boring . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Who says you can't be a 65 year old pro-gamer? You can show those whippersnappers how it's done.I remember when Pong came out, the first video game. At almost 65 I'm not "pro gamer" material but I try.
Good morning everyone. I got out of my rut yesterday and did a lot of yard work that needed to be done, it felt good and put my mind off our recent loss. It was tough after though when I was getting all the reptiles ready for Fall/Winter mode and Kai not being by my side. So different. I shipped out the last of my baby albino crimson iguanas and two Argentine tegus yesterday. All the hatchlings and babies for the season are all gone now. That means no more waking up at 5am till next March!
Go for it brother! I cannot convey enough how much I enjoy your posts and the above would be tops. You're such a positive person. Education is the one thing no one can ever take from you.

Who knew those two little white lines moving up and down hitting a dot would evolve into open world RPGs?
OMG I got a Xbox Series X but barely. The "plan" was to get it at Amazon but they never went "live" so I went to the Microsoft Store and after loooong loading times and several error messages I was successful! W00T! Got the confirmation email and everything - and they don't bill you until it ships in Nov. Some like Target take the $$$ right away - at least they did in 2017 when I ordered the "new" Xbox back then.
Sorry Bro, those times are tough but it's better to have had Kai then not.
