ITS STARTING TO WORK

First off let me say this, I have three computers on my desk right now. They are old, older and kinda new. I spent most of my time on them and they frustrate the hell out of me. Sorry about the bad word. I name my puters. First the oldest is "Dell" he is getting ready for the retirement home but still is a contributin member of his genre. Next comes "Lance" who lives strong and carries the workload. He has been a desktop for sometime now, however he is actually a laptop that I turned the battery over to Sue sometime ago. The new kid on the block known as "Hugh" is just a baby. He is both frustratin and nasty but has potential. The thing that really bugs me is that he won't run certain programs. For instance he did not like Battle Stations: Pacific at all and wouldnot allow even an upgrade. Next he balked at Second and Ten football. Can't seem to get it right. Well I am starting to get to know this kid. Tom came over and gave it a dose of TMG basektball which is fine. I got Sims3 and created twin girls to manage(OOH LA LA). Stratomatic has not been tried until now. Well first off College Football got the nod and Penn State defeated USC in a close game. I got itchy for more. So SOM basektball was tried and worked fine. I must report that I loaded two older seasons (1970-71 and 1966-67) First game as part of the Tri-State Tourney was the Indiana Pacers at Kentucky Colonels. Indiana built up a 17 point lead only to lose 106-101. George McGinnis had 28 in the losing effort. Next up was the 66 Cincinnati Royals against the St.Louis Hawks (I know that ruins the Tri-State title but then the Big 10 is actually 11). Cincinnati built up a 20 point lead and finished with a 111-106 victory. Oscar had 25 points to go with 14 assists while Jerry Lucas had 23 and 25 rebounds. Also Adrian Smith bagged 20. StLouis was led by Lou Hudson with 21. Since this is a tournament the next round is St.Louis against Indiana Pacers and Kentucky versus Cincinnati in NBA rules from 1966. It was good to see som Strat on Hugh but TMG is worlds better plus it has cool cards. the 1995 Ford Tarus better known as the Deer Slayer from Lexington fame has gone to the big parking lot in the sky. The engine seized up (Oil Mikey please)and the transmission housing broke. We bid a fond farwell to a vehicle that served us for many years faithfully. Goodbye ol Paint.

Well I am sitting here on my sort of new computer typing for the new year. Yesterday Mike helped me shift it to the prime position on my desk. So now for the first post of the new year. 2010 should be better than 09. I don't believe that the Colts will win the superbowl but then I thought they'd go 8-8. Okay my prediction is Chargers over the Vikings in the Superbowl. Okay in shifitin my computer I found stuff, like "Medal of Honor,Allied Assault" which had be lost for weeks. Further 10 brings new stuff I got for Christmas. I admit to being selfish this year buying many things which is bad but now I get to use them which is good. I also must call my sister and my friend Gary, both have tried to call me. Of my new stuf asside from the chairs we bought and this machine my favs are Star Wars the force unleashed ( its really cool to be Darth Vader and kill off some wookies), The SI basketball book ( I have looked at it several times), and Star Trek the movie (seeing the young version of the Enterprise crew is way cool). In so far as old stuff my TMG basketball replay of the 1957-58 Cincinnati Royals has reached 40 games. This am my Royals won their 15th game against 24 setbacks by defeating the Boston Celtics 106-99. Clyde Lovellette had 28 for Cincy and Jack Twyman had 27 while Tom Hiesohn had 21. It was close all the way with neither team leading more than 6 points. Tim called from Basic yesterday. He said that so far they weren't doing much. His girlfriend Jessica became a friend on facebook recently and taught me the expletive "holy smurfs" which I find funny. Oh the pacers are stinky this year and look to finish with another lottery pick. Even a good one probably won't help, but a point guard would be nice. This is the year that Susan and I will be celebratin out 25th anniversary, more on that at a later date. She has become indespensible as a medical advocate, and I appreciate her for the fine job she does. "Holy Smurfs it time for me to go" c ya
