This is what my first IBM-compatible PC looked like, and probably would have been the first PC to have a modem. It had 640k of RAM. After a few months, I bought a 32MB hard card (hard drive and controller on a single card). It had the Tandy graphics which was CGA resolution with EGA color. I also eventually upgraded it with a VGA video card, and then bought extra RAM chips to put on the video card to bring it up to 1MB RAM.

On a resent trip to central Cal. Coast, my boys and I spent some time at Moonstone beach in Cambria. It's a nice spot where a stream comes down from the coastal mountains to the coast. This place has the most varied deposits of pebbles on the beach, many polished to a nice sheen.
I even found a nice moonstone.  Also a couple of what at first seemed to be sea glass, but on a closer look may have washed down from the mountains.  Zoom in to see some of the variety to be found there. Looks like the is some geology going on in those hills |

Picked up some new shut offs today...can't have too many of those in my business!
The other one at the bottom is something new. It's a fitting that goes between your hose and the bib and it rotates in any direction if need be. Going give it a whirl....no pun intended....

The brass shut offs work great, the metal one not so much.

Found a baby Gopher tortoise in the road this morning apparently hit by some distracted driver no doubt on their cell phone....
 He was upside down and cars were going by....  I saw him from a distance and stopped to check him out. Can't assume anything is dead just because it's laying motionless in the road. He had blood on his head only - so I figured got hit in the head. He moved his head a little when I picked him up so I turned around to go home and wash him off so I could see better plus I called the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet to let them know I was bringing him in. They looked at him and said they would x-ray and try to determine extent of damage and if brain was affected or not. At least he will be euthanized and out of pain if it's determined he won't have quality of life. I'll contact tomorrow and see what they determined.....

Temp in the valley was 107 at 3pm - it was 70 at the notch (elevation approx 7800')         I think I see my house...
