Weirdly, not as abnormally normal as I thought.
I like fixing things, and occasionally, I like making things.
Here for the retrocomputing community and some music.

Part of my little Retro collection, partially back in storage for the time being. I do miss playing and tinkering with it. Atari 800xl, my original Atari 520STfm bought in 1989, Amiga a500, Amiga a1200. The Demo is playing courtesy of the A1200
Amiga, the true successor to Atari 8-bit ?

A week day treat. Most times I like to coral my beans, but now and again it's nice to let them roam free on the plate and mingle.
No plates were licked clean for the purpose of these photos..

Some bedtime reading. It's probably not the happiest of reads, with such sadness and grief at times, but it's a very interestingly told one. One that will stick with me for a little while after finishing.

I thought this was a Monty Phyton sketch at first. The fact somebody would follow plans so diligently is absolutely brilliant and slightly scary. I object whole heartedly to them blaming the poor photocopier though.
It's added to my bucket list of places to visit 😁

Despite been know as the Terror, the more time I spend with this playful, genuine fella, the more I notice the dishonesty of some folk. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they are trying to convince me or themselves of their utter shite talk 😁
Happy Friday 🤘

My #atari2600 #heavysixer bought and refurbished a little while back, but never posted here. Recapped, cables, repaired and resoldered, a new TIA chip, 2 PSs as the first was causing noise interference on the video feed and a composite mod to finish. Still so much and so impressive .

For me, there is nothing better than sharing nice food, drinks, stories, and life with nice, interesting people, and Mastichari is such a beautiful town with such friendly people. It's definitely a place worth sharing. My new second home.

It's hard to believe I've been watching Ghost Town Living for over 4 years now. I still love the solitude and calmness in those mines and remote surrounding area.

After meeting up with friends earlier who all seemed to be stuck in relationships for practical, almost joyless reasons. It made me think about always only wanting to find somebody who you share that special connection with, where all you needed was each other, and nothing else mattered.

A peaceful Sunday morning. The perfect time for some garden diy and operating a chop-saw and impact driver, especially in somebody else's garden and neighbourhood 😁

Apparently, being in some ways, a private person, and just getting on with life is very off putting for some folk. So to all the private people who dont like to make a song and dance about things and just live their life, I say sláinte. To the rest, Póg mo thóin.

What was meant to be a temporary fix done out of curiosity is still ,120 million characters later, working fine. I think it's now a permanent fix.

I loved this show and character. I always thought the theme by Darling Violeta was a perfect fit, moody, and atmospheric. Just hearing it brings back lots of happy memories. Like travelling 170 miles and staying in a hotel, just so I didn't miss the Season 1 double bill finally. Good call
