Oh Lord, Will You Buy Me ... a New Hoverboard

The pending disk drive acquisition feels like, yes, Mother; I love these socks for Christmas.

Note:  my parents never did that.  Christmas at the familial Rockhouse was observed traditionally, that is to say it was in full-bore chaos and it was great.

Any purchase is a Big Deal for the obvious reasons so the consideration if not this then what.  Shall I get a hoverboard even when they don't even hover.  That does seem a tad counterproductive in the context of the Rockhouse vibe, particularly so when I get run over by a bus on the damn thing.


Replacing the disk drive makes sense for the purpose of Potential Whine Reduction since it's all very well to talk glibly on the Zen of Disk Drives but likely there would be one wailing lament if the one remaining disk drive crashed.

Note:  all disk drives crash eventually.


So I did it and thank you Lotho.  There won't be any spectacle whatsoever from this since it really won't be doing anything ... but ... flying without a parachute is only cool at certain times and none of those times involve disk drives.  The simple sight of the light on the second drive says in an instant everything is copacetic and there's plenty of goodness in that.


I also found the original full-size Apple keyboard and for only nineteen dollars even if shipping was high.  These 'boards are going extinct and they're not far from it now.  It would surprise me if any speedy touch typist would ever prefer Apple's low-profile snakebite keyboard but that won't be a consideration just yet.  Yevette should be feeling a whole lot of ho ho ho next week some time.  Her kit hasn't been upgraded in donkey's years and her monitor leans up against a wall because one leg broke.

It'll be a whole lot of ho, ho, ho.  I'm tellin' you.

Note:  I could not find it on Amazon and it looks like eBay is the last place left.


I really don't want much except, call me Miss America, I want peace on Earth.  Donald Trump isn't making any move which appears it will get us radioactive.  Regardless of your politics on anything, so long as we don't get radioactive then anything else we can fix.

There's no need for an editorial on anything since we all know the above is true and anything after that is political.  We don't need the politics but we do need the hope and it has to be real.  When Trump sends a businessman to Moscow, I don't see the actions of a warmonger.  That much is real so, ok, I'll hold onto that.  Hopefully it means something to you as well.


Sure I've got hope since maybe space aliens will come across the cosmos to rescue me because they want to hear those deathless Silas Scarborough jams and they will fix me back up again physically so I can play live.  For this reason, I always try to keep the Galaxy Guitar tuned and I always have a towel.

WTF, it could happen (larfs).


There she is
Miss America
and I don't know
a single word
after that
whoa, whoa, whoa

Doesnt your BofA account use a 16digit ATM card number. That should work to turn on the account. Since it is a trial it would only process one penny to verify the account.
Then free shipping usually overnight for free I just used it to have a rack and pinion assy shipped for free two day express

I got a Shari Lewis puppet 4 hours after ordering free. Yes there is an Amazon facility about 12 miles away

Cool! I swear there is a little Lampchop plush toy within arm's reach. Now the whole world knows (larfs).

Whoa, I thought I had to get an Amazon card but I really don't want credit. If I can use BoA instead then that changes everything. Shipping is a huge kicker so that definitely counts. I'll check that and thanks.
