Goodbye To My Old Mac

Goodbye to an old, inanimate object/friend! I bought this back in 2009, and after about five or six years gave it to my Dad, who now has a brand-new Mini. Fortunately, this is still able to be used by an aunt of mine, so it’s still chugging along! I upgraded the RAM past what is stated that it can take, and upgraded the hard drive to four times the capacity so it’s good to go. (I did this years ago). It is starting to not work with some web sites as well, and as of a few years ago was unable to upgrade to the latest operating system, but it still does quite a bit just fine.

I Finally Did It.

First time ever: I took my garage-stored car, that has never been rained on since I took ownership back in what, 2014? That I never drive if I don’t have to for fear of… everything… I took it to the Ice Ranch. The longest drive ever with this vehicle, for me. When I bought it, I declared that I’d never have my hockey gear in this fine automobile, but upon watching some videos on the perils of allowing a car to sit too long, it was mentioned that if a car isn’t driven specifically on the highway, to get true hot/cold action on the engine, big problems will evolve. So, it was for the good of the car. I picked a late-night game in good weather, and the long drive home on C-470 was wonderful! Especially the newly remodeled parts to the south. Boy was I careful with my big bag and sticks in this car, they weren’t in it any longer than necessary!
