  • Episode 110 - RIP HDD

    So, what's buggin' me right now is the whole "Grand Delusion" aspect of people parting with items online for sale. Yeah, that processor from 2003 isn't worth much now dude. Most people don't want it for free. Ugh!

    I'm into the SYS01 build for sure. It's done folks. Ran benchmarks on it after this recording. Got some great video captures from it. Getting it cleaned up this evening after work and getting a few pics for the listing online to sell it. It's turned out really good too. I'm happy with it for my first one. We'll see how much extra $$$ it scores me, but that's not the only point. It's been a lot of fun to build it out and create something special for someone (hopefully).

    Listening to nothing new really. Just hyped up over the forthcoming Urge Overkill album dropping soon (well, next month) and that's about it.

    Watching nothing much new either. Really gotta get caught up on Book of Boba Fett after what I've heard about characters popping into the show.

    Reading nothing new really either. The new Giant Size Geiger book is awesome though. I love that comic.

    I've totally and completely thrown myself into this PC flipping scenario and it's been great. I'm anxious to see how it pans out as far as money earned. I know I will make a little, so I guess it's all good.

    I've got a load of new pics and even some videos here for you to check out in regards to the flip.

    See you guys again soon!

  • Special Report 026 - GPU Run

    Just a quick update on the procurement of parts in this latest endeavor.

    Successfully nabbed a lower end (but sufficient) GPU and got it all cleaned up, new thermal paste, and it's ready to go. See the pics here.

    More coming soon kids!

  • Episode 109 - Flippin' Puters

    So, I'm being bugged by insurance. The ultimate scam in the U.S. since...who knows?

    Then, after the break, it's off to the races about my latest hobby...Flipping Computers. I explain all about it extensively. I even just threw in a special report I recorded towards the end. Just cuz.

    Latest pics of what's up and what I'm into are here.

    Gotta go! Got puters to flip kids.

  • Episode 108 - Treat Each Other Better

    Seriously, quit being inconsiderate and respect those around you. People's behavior out in public is absurd right now. I won't be a part of it, but I will correct folks when I have to. Ask the noisy teens in the theatre with us last Sunday night. They were ramping up and I loudly said, "Shut Up!" and they were pretty tame afterward. Now, I'm not a big guy, but sometimes you just don't know, so shutting up is the best plan.

    I'm into quite a bit. Busy as all get out. Don't know when I will be building a new gunpla, but it'll happen for sure.

    Only new thing I am listening to is Urge Overkill's singles from their upcoming album due out in February. It's gonna be great.

    Saw Belle and it was as amazing and gorgeous as I assumed. Go see it if you can. Here, I will help you. Watching Toast of Tinseltown also. Loving The Puppet Master - Hunting the Ultimate Con Man on Netflix. Craziness. Looking forward to Moon Knight on D+ also.

    Reading a ton of comics including, Moon Knight, A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance, Star Wars The High Republic, King Spawn, and more.

    That's about it kids. See you next week.

  • Episode 107 - Blue or Green, Just Talk!

    Well, first I'm ticked about the selfishness of those not being vaccinated and not wearing masks. This is causing an explosion of COVID infections nationwide and for what? Not a thing!

    I'm into a bunch, but then I start getting heated up about the whole blue/green text bubbles thing. How ridiculous can we be people? Who cares? iPhones are not a higher-end smartphone people. Seriously. They're no longer more pricey nor are they any better. Just different. If you refuse to be friends with someone or date someone because they own an android...screw you! Here's a few articles about what I'm ranting...

    Completely nuts!

    So, I'm into a lot as far as music and stuff with the kids. We had some great holiday action. Here's the pics.

    Been watching Book of Boba Fett, Toast of Tinseltown, Cobra Kai season 4, and the end of Pen15. Here's that trailer for Belle I discuss also.

    That's about all I have in me.

  • Episode 106 - Happy? Holidays
    "So Kyle, it took so long for a new episode."
    "I know. It's been crazy. I'm sorry. Here's a new one."
    "Okay then."
    Yeah, so I discuss some recent thoughts by former military leaders on the possibility of (gulp!) Civil War. That's what's bugging me.
    You'll have to listen to all the stuff I'm into. You can also see some cool pics here.
    Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy New Years!

  • Special Report 025 - RSD#3: Black Friday

    Yeah, of course, I was there.

    3 segments here really. Before I went in. While I was standing in line listening to the directions and some jazz. Then on the way home.

    Enjoy Kids! It's gonna feel like you were there with me. Latest pics here.


    Peace!

  • Episode 105 - WTFBurger?

    >>>>>First off, I'm sorry I accidentally uploaded a 2nd segment with no audio. I didn't realize it until I played it back like usual at 4x speed to make sure it all worked on the podcast app. It's all correct now though. Thanks for your understanding.<<<<<

    Yeah, so I'm gonna just complain about the What-A-Burger opening here in my town. It's been a flipping madhouse.

    I'm not blaming the company opening these new locations at all. I'm not blaming Patrick Mahomes II for requesting his fave burger joint open in the KC area. I'm not happy with the knuckleheads lining up for hours and blocking the entrance to a hospital during a freakin' pandemic! I mean, come on fools! It's a fast food restaurant for crying out loud. There's like 30 others right here in this town.

    I go on and on and on about the amazing audio system our good friend Julie Boolie gave me as a gift. I just can't quit playing with it and looking at it. It's incredible. I've got some pics here for you of it and the latest spins. Also, I'm looking forward to the Black Friday Record Store Day this year. Lots of stuff to pick from.

    The rest of what I'm talking about being into is nothing super new or great. Here's the models I was discussing though. Here is the specific one I spent about 90 minutes just building one leg for.
