For the past year and a half, I have been using the same keyboard and mouse, for gaming. I think it's time for an upgrade, but I don't know which ones to pick. There are so many different products to pick from, and in very different price ranges.

Normally, I am going with Razer, but they are a bit expensive for me at the moment, so I have to look elsewhere. I might just find something cheap, which means I need to get a few of each. Maybe three keyboards and three mice. I also need a new desk, or at minimum a new piece of furniture, to all the things on my current desk. I also need a new chair, since this one I have now is a bit.. Cheap.. I got it for 146 USD, while the more sturdy ones are around 450 USD. Last but not least, I need a new power supply and a case for my pc parts, I have laying around. Those are pretty cheap, so hopefully I will not have to spend over 1000 USD on upgrades to my gaming things. I do have a PS4, which I can play most games on, but there are some games that I need a pc to play. Simulation games and such. Luckily, my new career is relatively well paid, so I can slowly but surely upgrade my setup, one month at a time.

A California man gets to GameStop 8pm on Wednesday to be the first in line when they opened on 'Black Friday'
Stock was limited and that store had only two PS5's and four Xboxes.

A Sony CEO stated that console (PS5) inventory was completely sold out.

I'm concerned about the 36 hours... I'd need Astronaut style absorbent underwear for a stunt like that!

The things people do to get their game on.

Hi Anyone have Instagram. I need comments by write his name in comments. Because he is nominated for best MMA coach. Tomorrow is last day of voting

According to Wiki, John Gotti (John Joseph Gotti Jr.) was an American gangster and boss of the Gambino crime family.
"At his peak, Gotti was one of the most powerful and dangerous crime bosses in the United States. During his era, he became widely known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style, which gained him favor with some of the general public. While his peers generally avoided attracting attention, especially from the media, Gotti became known as "The Dapper Don", for his expensive clothes and personality in front of news cameras. He was later given the nickname "The Teflon Don" after three high-profile trials in the 1980s resulted in his acquittal, though it was later revealed that the trials had been tainted by jury tampering, juror misconduct and witness intimidation. Law enforcement authorities continued gathering evidence against Gotti, who reportedly earned between $5 million-20 million per year as Gambino boss."

In 1992, Gotti was charged with: Racketeering; racketeering conspiracy; murder; Illegal gambling; obstruction of justice; and conspiracies to murder, bribe a detective, obstruct justice, commit loan sharking, and commit tax fraud. The verdict was guilty. His sentence was, life imprisonment without parole and $250,000 fine.

I've heard before if you want to make a conviction stick, follow the money.

I will be joining some single peeps in the Fresno area at the end of this month for a game night. I imagine there will be men there that will bring their chess games because us single introverts like games like that…heady games, so I learned chess in one afternoon.

Ask me if I’m good at it though because that’s a whole other ball game…

I couldn’t understand what a stalemate was to save my life for a bit. So now without the aid of the internet I will try to tell you all what it is in my own words…and someone told me not to feel bad because it’s hard for a newbie to grasp but I want to understand damnit!

It is when the king, if he moves in any direction, will become under attack but he is not under attack until he does so. So the game is a draw.

Checkmate is when the king is directly under attack and when he attempts to move out of the way then he is still under attack. So the game is over.

Am I right or wrong?

Oh lawd.



This is fun though. I’m learning something new.

My own pick for game night though is a game called score four. I played that with a man once. He beat me every time but I had a blast playing that game. It’s like a three dimensional game of checkers. So I will be bringing that one to share.

I am remarkably well and thoroughly sound.
Cut me quick and it will be seen,
That I instantly have a marvelous sheen.
New appear, sometimes old disappear;
I am a wonderful help to mankind,

Proud woman grabs holds me hard,
The wise and knowledgeable man is sure of it.
Even the fool knows it.
The rich man wants it.
The greatest of heroes fears with out it,
Yet the lowliest of cowards would die for it.
What is this upon which I ponder?

There's talk about Ron DeSantis hosting rallies for Republicans across the country. I believe he may be attempting a 2024 presidential run and on the road doing these rallies.

In the past, Ron has argued 'gun-free' zones are less safe. Good Ron, then allow guns at the rallies you are appearing. I see a quandary here as many event organizers prohibit guns at their venues.

I've been in and out of the model helicopter hobby a few times in nearly 50 years, overcoming a divorce, the loss of both parents, two serious car accidents and multiple job changes. I started back around 6 years ago, it was with some very small and inexpensive models that could only help me practice at a slow pace. I've since upgraded to larger models that are more powerful and fly with more authority. The only drawback is the cost... several thousand per model. It's a fact that no serious pilot can get by with only one radio controlled helicopter.

It's not possible for me to dedicate myself to the sport like I want... there are other obligations. 30 years ago, I recall levels of obsession where I would come home from work and practice on a computer simulator for 2 hours, break for dinner and get back to another 2 or 3 hours of practice.
It didn't matter how good I got, as going to competition or fun-fly events I could always find guys who were better pilots... much better. There was a guy who invented an electronic device, patented it and sold the product to a car manufacturer. His company was self sufficient to the point where he didn't have to work and would come to Florida every winter to practice flying at a local field for several hours each day.
Being exposed to that level of talent was incentive to continue improving and never reaching a plateau.

Most of us are flying 'pod & boom' style helicopters at have a fiberglass canopy to cover the motor and electronics with a long tail boom and a few fins. They aren't attractive, but fly great. There is a visual drawback, so we often wrap them in brightly colored sticky tape so they can be seen better when far away.

Often these models have names that reflect the size of the blades, like Logo 700 or RAW 580. 700 indicates the main blade length is 700 millimeters. Others have cool names like Dominator or Whiplash. There is one model that has a full fuselage to look like a real helicopter. Lots of guys have them but not too many are out flying them. Mentioned on a previous blog, a friend buys and sells models and recently picked up some used helicopters in a package deal that he plans to maintain and resell. One was a model called Kraken, named after the legendary sea monster.

I've seen them fly. They are very attractive and easy to see in the air. So, I made my friend an offer to trade one of my pod & boom models plus some cash for his Kraken.
He accepted the offer. Part of the deal was to go through the electronics and make sure all was good. He rewired a few connections because the guy who built it originally wasn't meticulous.

After initial testing, my friend flew it, made a few tweaks in the settings and handed it to me to try. Yes, smooth and predictable.

I've only got 2 sets of batteries that fit this model and this week, I'll order 2 more!
Aye, the Kraken...

Technically true. I was with friends at the park flying model aircraft and the moon was in view in the western sky. I was doing loops with the moon in the background so it appeared that I was flying 'around' the moon.
The weather was awesome, with big puffy clouds and a slight breeze.
I did some screen shots from a video so the images aren't perfect, but it's enough to see a large bird that got into the movie!
