Watched an old movie today. At least I think 1985 is old for a movie. For those who have seen it these few captured scenes should bring the title to mind.

Boy did those guys pick the wrong train.
Home Health nurse comes tomorrow to to put a new dressing on my foot. I've been teaching her how to build it up properly and it looks like she's learning. The last one lasted more than a day more it had a blowout and needed to be patched. The first one she did for me lasted a whole eight hours.
The only work I did today was an old Apple //e add-on card. It needed some chips replaced so I sorted through my good ones and was able to replace every one of them. It's amazing how small the components have become. My //e's processor is slightly bigger than two postage stamps. If I were to shrink it down in comparison with today's components it would be smaller than a grain of sand. A ten megabyte hard drive back in 1983 was about the size of a large cereal box. Today I have a one terabyte hard drive that's only slightly bigger than one of my old 64k RAM cards (3" x 5.5"). Isn't technology grand?
That's it for today. See y'all tomorrow.
