I've been a gamer since a young age, my first experiences were with my old Atari 2600. Nowadays I'm mostly a PC guy but I also play board games when I have the group for it. And I love wrenching on cars besides.

Nice Steaming WRUP

Happy weekend, everyone. It's Time for WRUP again. It's before 6:30am here, I just sat down with a cup of coffee and I'm figuring on getting a couple things down before I just fire up Helldivers 2 and liberate the countryside. So let's get to it. Read more

Sunday Morning WRUP

It's Sunday. It's a WRUP. It's Sunday WRUP. Imagine I did that in a voice such as classic CBS Sunday Morning host, the late Charles Kuralt. And if you're old enough to know who Charles Kuralt was are you sure you're in the right place? I mean I remember him so maybe you are. Maybe I'm not? Anyway, happy Sunday everyone. Let's play Helldivers 2 - I mean it's WRUP time and I definitely didn't forget that yesterday because I was playing Helldivers 2 before going to work, coming home and playing Helldivers 2. No sir, not at all. Steel trap, this memory of mine. Read more

Get Yer WRUP Here

Good day to you, I hope this WRUP finds you well. It's the weekend and though the storms have passed there is much water, ice and snow left their wake. However the sun is warm for such a winters day and this may mean the snow will be melted in time for the Superbowl party to be held here tomorrow. Diets will be set aside as there will be many chili boats to be had. Beer will flow cold and the pizzas will be hot. Those who join us should plan on heavily filled bellies and antacids to relieve the inevitable reflux to follow. Here, below are more WRUP related issues. Read more

Rollercoaster WRUP

Oh man is it ever storm prep time today. There's a huge atmospheric river incoming around here set for tomorrow. One hit a few days ago and gave us about two and half inches of water with some snow up higher but this next storm is predicted to hit my area with about eight inches of non-stop rain from Sunday until next Friday, and just above my elevation is expecting anywhere from five to seven feet of snow. I imagine I'll get dusted a little but the real worry is the 60 mph sustained wind gusts. That's beyond gale and nearly hurricane strength. I've got to spend time today making sure things are buttoned down and my wood doesn't get uncovered and soaked. And it's time to hit the grocery store for a supply run for enough to get us past a power outage if that happens. Which is almost certain with winds that high. If you're in CA like me, stay safe, don't go out there and try to drive once this stuff starts if you can avoid it. That much wind and water is almost a guarantee for downed trees and flooding, that includes backed up sewer lines and power lines on the ground as well as potential overrun river banks and wash-outs. Not to mention as little as like three inches of water can wash your car away. Just don't risk it.

Okay let's look at the WRUP highs and lows. Read more

Blegh WRUP

It's a Saturday and that means it's a WRUP day. Good morning or afternoon or WTF ever everyone, it's me, Scrooloose and today is a beautiful day here. Certainly not feeling like the winter we had last year. I'll be taking the opportunity to get some paid projects done and thank goodness because money has been tight the last few weeks. But who cares about my boring ass life? Let's go look at this WRUP. Be forewarned this isn't a happy one and I'm opinionated about it. Read more

More WRUP More Problems

Word up homies. That's how the kids are greeting their friends these days. Those scamps. Fellow gangsters, let's get down and kick it one time.

Hey, did you try to charge your EV lately? Hopefully you don't live where it's cold because it didn't work for a ton of people. Just another reason to not own a "self driving" fire trap from mr. nazi, I suppose. Anyway, it's WRUP time. Read more
