Ah, jaysis, I should’ve known better than to declare victory in my battle with the auld iMac so. Froze up on me again it did, as before, after less than 12 hours of extremely light use.
It caused me to explode in righteous wrath, and before I could go for a wee ride in my St. Patrick’s Day finery too.

Oy vey!
A fine auld Irish saying that.
Póg mo thóin!
Howssat?
It occurred to me on my ride in to work that my Salsa LaCruz is orange. Fortunately, no one took it the wrong way and shot at me. Maybe I can slink home in one piece.
Easily fixed. Can you say “Krylon rattle-can?”
That would make a mess, don’tcha think?. Maybe I will memorize some Clancy Brothers and sing at the top of my lungs all the way home.
Now I REALLY can relate to your problem. Now the I-shit’s every bit as crappy as the Micro-shit it seems.
It’s starting to remind me of the joys of automobile ownership. Y’know, when you take the beast in for one repair and it leads to a half dozen others? Next thing you know you’re standing there with an empty wallet and that silly look on your face.
I woudn’t go that far. After all, it worked well for 6 years. I have been using Apple for 15 years with little or no problems. But, lifespan of computer hardware and software these days seems to be about 4 years and shrinking. Like the number of teeth on my chainrings.
“The marvel is not that the bear dances well, but that the bear dances at all.” We should be amazed that the bloody things even boot up. This is hard to remember when they seize up, of course.
Well, we’ll just forget about it for the nonce, keep running the cantankerous sonofabitch until it crashes a few more times and then enjoy a brisk argument with all the voices in our head: Replace the ATI Radeon card? Replace the HDD? Replace both? Buy a new Mac? A new-used one? Re-employ an old one? Retire and take up hollering at passing children about lawn integrity and inviolability?
Can I join you?
Just two shotguns? Funny, there was an article in the paper down here that a guy shot his girlfriend and said his dog made him do it. Reminded me of that Harlan Ellison book. Later made into a movie of the same name. A Boy and His Dog. Been years since I saw that flick. Interestingly, the whole movie is on the web.
Don Johnson, yeah? Before “Miami Vice” made him a household name. Ol’ Harlan could really write ’em.
Given what I do for a living, its a movie after my own heart….
That scene in “Second Hand Lion” immediately came to mind when Patrick mentioned lawn intergrity. I find shotguns to be superior in protecting one’s lawn. Doesn’t require the precision a M1 requires.
Got a mountain ride in today. Believe it or not it is clouding up down here with a chance of rain today and a better one tomorrow. Saw Big Motor Reggie when I was coming out of the Ramsey Canyon. He said, “call me for a ride.” I guess it is spring and time for my first punishment of the year chasing Reggie’s wheel.
Speaking of video, what we need here is a wee spot of Irish arse-kicking music on this day of all days. I’ve posted a version of this before, but not from so far back (1977).
May the Road stay down beneath ya Lad- under your tires that is.
Rubber side down! Guinness bottoms up! 🙂
I guess it’s time for a Guinness and the annual screening of “The Quiet Man.”
Hear, hear
I have it on DVD. I think I will get the restored version on Blu-ray. I bought the “African Queen” when the restored version (audio and video and in the original aspect ratio) came out on Blu-ray a few years ago. It is sweet. Hope they have done the same with The Quiet Man.”
Speaking of TCWSNBN
Dude’s 15 minutes ain’t ever gonna be over.
Blast from the past. What were the shoulder patches on that jersey?
