Well if the bandwidth is getting too clogged up, I can delete quite a few of mine.
I got my $59.00 (computer and shipping) rescue machine today. It looks pretty good. One is 2.0 Ghz and the other is 2.3 Ghz. Doesn't seem significant for typing bandwidth cloggers on the ST.
I may just swap the disc out of this one and save this one for parts.
I really didn't want to take apart the display.
C'mon Johnny strike up the band_width me.

Look at this bit of economy. There's 16 saved characters right there.

From Great Falls to the Great Halls of Middle Earth.
Callie Graphie sends her regards, best wishes, hopes for a bright future, vibes for optimal health, and a weather report.
Thank you, feralfae.
I've taken to using a walker, the one issued to me after the heart surgery. The reason is that I don't like feeling dizzy in the heat, it's easy enough to use it so in the interests of not having to BALANCE myself, it's a set of rolling ski poles, is how I view using it.
It's not cheating if you're not having fun, and I had lots of fun with an old broad from NYC on The Bus today. Forgeddaboutdit! Her walker had better locking brakes than mine, and she totally wouldn't fold it when asked by the nice, nice lady bus operator, who loves her job, BTW.
We actually had very similar items in our shopping bags...strawberries, tomatoes, Sicilian peppers, daikon, and carrots. Oh, and yogurt. But her choice was plain, mine vanilla.
There was a recent ballot measure (pick a letter) that has freed up funds for seniors over 62 and veterans of any age to ride The Bus for nothing.
I'm over fifteen pounds heavier than I'd like to weigh. I'm near 185. I can lose it before the surgery with a massive effort of walking, but is it worth it? I noticed a decided hitch in my gitalong--the left knee isn't that strong and there's noticeable pain/twinging in the groin from that inguinal hernia. But as long as I stop and recruit myself I'm okay.
Sometimes I can get cranking, but not for any longer than say a block. It's the weight factor making me huff and blow more than if I were lighter, I think. Main thing is to get out and scoot along for several hours and light meals, no more Cinema fare.
I went to the Human Services Agency on the first leg of my bus ride. I had my Electronic Benefits Card issued to me in what seemed like record time. I was in and out in a total of twenty-nine minutes and met the bus a minute later to head out to the grocery. Beats riding the bike in the heat. Sure beats walking.
Let's give a hand to the FIREFIGHTERS who've come from all over to deal with Bęte Detwiler. This afternoon I saw five engines from the Woodside/Menlo Park area on old 99 and waved my hat as they drove past, plainly awed at the Big City of Merced. Then I saw another six parked in a row at the old HS on G Street. Not to mention two others cruising around.

Stars are getting darker
And the moon is starting to fade
Laugh is getting harder
While the pain never leave my face!

Paul was recruited to record the band because he “just happened to be the guy with the better of two tape recorders,” a then new Webcor Model 5100dr, which he still owns today.

Quah?
.
Given the current conditions , over all- For sway the low way it goes,
G
heavy air, the (cloisonné) strung around our throats in a Russian vice . . . .
To those who's hooves have now sunk past hackle, height,
You / We are so screwed
and the stifling heat
Usually just a mild irertent, this is oppressive
There is no need for me to add my abrasive shjt
A mild iretent, ire in the tent , breakz up da monatomic monotony of storm 'n sleet
But to add my blather
Garble debase ment
I've just got no truck.
"In yer eye" -the sober guy- he knows me . . .but won't remember or can't?
(A Gud Thing)
Now what sort of tragic shjt is it ? -What the what?- , it's a pay check?
With Perc's
and a hand held? ( bang bang)
musta been on the NP Ranger track?
When he heard that more cake was to be had. . .
the Hankster is a. Bust yer Ballster! . .
To Wit. Here for a chosen type of ammunition
Fodder , if you whil . . .
(( for the very few, my auto correct still spells it Blauster ))
Foe : and since Only a faded swami knows, and gno one seems to know no no. . . FOB'z
I have shared a dumpster,
I've climbed as high as Dolt,
but
I'm not gonna turn o'er a leaf
and find I am a narc, I hope.
See
I should of just left it be at
Quah?

The Standard Rate
When we checked into the room
The beds were floating
Two feet above the floor
The coffee machine was sentient
A sleeping border collie
Was a fixture on the couch
An alien presence was palpable
But also comforting
I woke at two am
With a tingling around my abdomen
Upon examination
A freshly healed two inch scar
Was right above my appendix
When I looked out of the window
Millipede armies marched single file
Up and down the road outside the building
When we woke up in the morning
We were standing at the front desk
Oddly all the hotel staff
Wore clothes that were shimmering
There were tiny little teapots
Lined up along the countertop
In a high pitch they whistled Dixie
Though discordant and out of tune
There was a discrepancy on our bill
When we complained about the overcharges
They said it was the standard rate
But a new toaster oven
Was given as a free gift
When we went to leave the building
We arrived once more again
Immediately upon our departure

HEY "Betty"
( not any one who 'knew' Detterline, just to be clear)
WHAT IS THE BLUES
Is the plural Blahs?
Twixt time and Timbuktu
I've never gotten over you
'Twas the summer leading up
And the summer leading to
Too
I'll stay mum, there are no pictures
Only the crispest memories of one
And it was a half of you
Discreetly Framed
Square'd up behind a bush
nothing to see But I knew t'was truly you.
The Zevonater was good to us at the old Lone Star
No thanks to Paul the piano player
quhiantity added can I tell ya',
I was consumed my own self by that tune
that song running through my head
the day -before- zB posted it
So yes ,
JOHNNY STRIKE UP THE BAND
I'm spooked , and comforted
all at once, I RECOGNIZE it,
I've stay'd at that same motel no mo' telling that
the Border Collie,
Bodie the wonder dog?! ( rip, he must be dead? )
His masters bed was off limits, his master is a master at Wes' poin'
Hey Daws? Ya ever tune in? Gnom? Thought not
also 20 years or days later
The self same toaster-oven
still as always does double duty;
Cooks every meal on high with a fan attached
Circulation of hot air
Does Not Convection make
It's a fake
I'm sure from DHGate
Chinese wholesale bait 'n switch
How's it work ! Take what you get , I guess
Evel? If you live and breath
Please say hello.
not just an after thought, - it just didn't fit in and has languished now since Brian's Birthday. . . 5/25 ? Or is it 5/24? No matter close the door.
An anniversary -Alphonse-, to bad I fell that way
thnx for ratcheting me
whinch'ng off that ole' Cedar tree,
a funny thing - if it is to be - my 2nd to last walk up ?
(Logarithm benevolence?)
Kogar, the benevolent,
I've got rocks walk in' distance from me,
if only walk in' was my cup of tea.

Cirque Maximus
boiling on the stove
in the shadow of the ogre
tiny little teapots
rock steadily
two feet off the floor
whispering at each other
in high-pitched voices
STFU
and
thank you
