Retired farmer, aortic dissection and cancer survivor, long time computer and gaming enthusiast. Content tends to be whatever I’m doing at the time: PC builds, repair and upgrades, software and operating system installs, Linux and Windows related conent, video game related content, Minecraft builds, rants, personal reviews on gadgets or software, Youtube reactions. I’m not here for fame or money, so your mileage may vary. Enjoy. Or not. LOL. Long periods of silence may be health related.
