    My wife got me on a new diet. I misunderstood though I thought she said Aikido but really she said Keto. darn it was fun throwing that Ham around.

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      Yeah the diet originated back in 1920's to assist folks with seizures. Like with all eating choice changes its best to be cognizant of the pros cons and effects.

    Well those odds were against me. 3 sump pumps in my pit and 2 died at the same time leaving my piddly like 1/4 hp one to try to keep up with 5 inches of rain. It was a lost cause sadly but thanks to plastic tubs the games were all safe.

      Separate circuits for the 2 separate powered pumps. We never lost power but the battery backup one had not run in years and never needed to so turned out the impeller was rusted solid. I might consider that water powered backup at this point.

      I liked shovelknight and since I enjoy harvest moon Stardew Valley seemed refreshing.

    Car shopping is weird now. I have not gone out to try to buy one for years.

      Cats would be better than a car and probably last longer up to 18 years if you get a no frills one.

    Yay for finding out there is a recall on a car that will fix my problems. Nay for the possibility of having to drive it 200 miles to get to the nearest dealer.

      Professor Gull

      2006 Acura TL Pressure line for power steering. It fails because it gets too hot next to the engine. Go figure right.

    How come kids today can't even fill out a bank check correctly?

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      Same reason most kids can't even sign their name on documents.

    At what point do you have to decide to not dump any more money into a car?

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      I contest Stan Jr and his thoughts. I believe the correct answer feels more like. When the repair and likely upkeep for the vehicle is more than its value and the cost of a new loan.

    I think it'd be cool to make a reality TV show about transferring files between a modern computer and a classic computer. Don't you?

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      Ooo you could call it "The Disk" or something catchy like that similar to like "The Net".

    I got bored this weekend and thought about opening my house as a rental store for retro games. Too bad I also generally distrust people as well so that idea died.

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      Hmm maybe it's time to open that Java shop and encase old systems in boxes and use coin slots to activate and play games. Then video it all and scream while posting on SnapChat.

    So whats a fair rate for a Jaguar 3 button controller NIB, Doom CIB , and Checkered Flag CIB?

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      I think he is thinking the controller might be worth more. I mentioned getting a NIB one like 2 years ago for $20 so $25 seems more likely.

    Ebay's "Browse Related" sidebar really cracks me up. It's like, we see you're looking at prices for Suikoden II for Playstation, perhaps you also want to buy the rubber seals for the auto glass on a Chrysler New Yorker?

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      Always amusing to see what gets pulled in the your relatables.

      Looks like you are looking for a price on Magic knight Rayearth you might also like ornate casket handles.

    I wonder if you could consolize the Sega Nomad? Sure would be nice to play some of those beautiful 16-bit games on the big screen.

    1. Professor Gull

      Professor Gull

      I found someone willing to mod the Nomad into a console. Its like a dock for it revolutionary like the Switch.

      Stupid me cut apart a whole chicken with my wonderfully sharp knives and ended up getting a nick in a finger which then got infected. Good times but the fried chicken was worth it.
