Fourth of January 2026 Update

 I'll try not to make this a long, rambling post. Promise

2025 was not kind to us, at all. I was sick with a 13mm gallstone, despite not having a gall bladder. Yeah. Spent a week in the hospital, then twelve days getting an infusion series for sepsis. Not fun. Then I had the long COVID, and I was not fully recovered when Mrs. Meig'h came down with Meningitis. She spent several weeks in a hospital and a rehab facility. Basically learning to use her body again. Once she was home, I ran myself ragged, taking care of her and the house. I had help from my daughters but still, it ran me ragged, which leads to now. I am certainly not up to my A game, probably not to my Z game level, to be truthful.  I'm pretty sure this is the lingering effects of COVID, so when and if I recover, we don't know.

As an aside, My computers do not run Redmond products, except in a Virtual Machine. I need Win10 so I can connect with the servers to upload my Freestyle Libre II glucose monitor. I also need WinXP Pro SP3 to run my greeting card/calendar/business card/etc. software. I'm also trying to fudge some games on there, too. BTW, I run Linux Mint 22 for an OS and Oracle VirtualBox for a VM. It just seems to work. And it's supported by a great group of people on a forum. and it's free.

Anyway, I'll cut this off here, and come back in a few to update things. Take care, all.

A True Workaround For My Games

 When we last posted, there were no clear workarounds for my gaming dilemma. Well, sevral days later, I couldn't get my laptop to read a CD that I had burned myself about a year ago. Alas, I was thinking my optical drive had lunched itself. I was right.

It was cheap enough so I ordered a replacement drive from Amazon the seller was ECOMPUTER SYS. Took all of 10 minutes to change out the drive and put my bezel on it. Now I was able to install a program that would not read in my old drive. I'm happy, $33.00 USD later.

That's all for now,
