    I got a pretty neat birthday gift from one of my kids.  A new Timex Pac Man watch. 
    I need to adjust the watch band to fit my noodle arm.  And maybe read the manual to learn if it has any special features.

    I'm selling my SMS Model 2 locally.  I took pictures of it for the buyer.  Why not take a picture of the SMS Model 1 at the same time?  Here they both are for your viewing pleasure. 

    SMS is a great system.  Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys the NES or 7800.

    It was a beautiful day for a trip to the beach on Halloween.  Such nice weather for the end of October.  You might recognize this particular rock from the movie "The Goonies".

    We're still in a very bleak place in Oregon, as wildfires continue to spread.  The sun is pink, and everything is grey outside.  It's difficult to breathe with all the smoke in the air.  At the moment, my area remains at "Level 1" of alertness with fires just a few miles to the south and east.  My family is fine, and we have a few options of places to go if we are forced to evacuate. 
    The advice I gave my children is what I really believe.  I told them that our bodies and our memories and knowledge are all we need.  "Stuff" is unimportant.  We will be fine. 
    I'm ending this status with a picture from a small town south of here.  It's a complete loss for many, and our entire community is in shock.  We will support each other as best we can.  I plan on making a giant donation to our local Red Cross. 
    Thanks to all for your kind thoughts.  I do appreciate it very much.  I appreciate the few moments of normalcy and distraction from you all here in the forums.

    Ebay has sent me a $25 discount (off a $25.01 or more purchase) for being a member since their beginning!  Help me figure out what to buy. 
    I'm thinking about the following choices:
    An N64 or NES flashcart/everdrive One of the rarer 2600 carts that I don't have (Frankenstein's Monster, Gremlins, or ???) A 1200xl. Help me find something good for a decent price!

    Just so you guys don't think I'm dead (because of no posts lately) -- although I'm sure @MaximumRD would respectfully report on it if I was, there's a new project I've been working on.  Restoration of a 2003 Subaru.  It's got a water leak (which makes it smell bad), and needs some engine work.  But I'm having FUN with it.  My father was an auto mechanic.  It feels good to get the hands dirty.
    AND...I got a NEW JOB!  I start next week.  Should be lower stress.  I hope.

    To open or not to open?

    Pulled from the most recent No Swear Gamer retro game box is the Hot Wheels USS Vengeance.  Should I open it, or display it in the package?

    Plus a view of the other ships in my office.
