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.

Check This WRUP Out

Well, here we are again for another WRUP. Another busy weekend for me. Today will be the second wedding I'll attend in the past two weeks... for the same family. This month has been super busy because along with regular work scheduling I've also been helping them get things ready for party time. The first one took place at a local venue but this one will be at the mother of the bride's house and man it's been a lot of work. But it'll be a fun time. The groom has made a beautiful three tap bar top out of a downed redwood he milled from his dad's house. The kegs are on ice as of yesterday and I'll be pouring for folks in shifts as the evening goes on. The last time there was a wedding in this same location was about five years ago and there were about 75 people that came. Which is plenty of people to have in a back yard, even it's a pretty good sized yard. This time we're looking at a hundred and thirty people. I think it's going to be crowded but there's plenty of space once the reception starts. Anyway I'm rambling and nothing I'm saying has to do with actual WRUP news, so let's get to it. Read more

It’s True, This Is a WRUP

Well good morning everyone, it's another WRUP day and I'm actually here for it, for a few hours at least. Today I'm attending two events. One here just a couple miles from my place at Sierra Cider. They're doing a sort of chill outdoor farmer's market sort of thing with some music and food that sounds like a nice time. Then this afternoon Deadwood Tattoo shop is holding an open house event with beer, food, music and raffles for free tattoos and/or piercings. Between those two events my day is full.

I also have to look for a new water pump for my truck because of course yesterday it started leaking from the weep hole and squealing. I picked up a bottle stop leak with pump lube hoping it'll get me by for a few days and I'll just have to carry water with me. It's sketchy to run like that though. Potential for break down is high. Busy, busy, but time for a WRUP. Read more

Bringing The WRUP

Good morning everyone. It's me, Scrooloose, and I'm here with the WRUP. Surprise!

I missed last week because I was so busy. The sun came out and suddenly everyone wants me at their houses to work on various things. I'm happy for the work and the pay, but thank goodness I'm taking a couple of days off because I'm smoked. I have friends here from out of state and I think we're all going to get together and hit up some brew-pups this weekend so I'm looking forward to that. But you're not here to read about my boring middle aged life, so let's go to the WRUP. Read more

That Dang Ol’ WRUP Again

Welcome to another WRUP everyone and here's hoping your weekend isn't going to be nearly as busy as mine. I have been working more or less non-stop since last weekend and this weekend promises no different through at least part of Sunday. As a result I'm taking Monday off completely and doing as little as possible so I can get some legit recovery time in because my body is very tired from everything I've been doing. I'm not complaining though, it's that time of year and frankly I'm glad to be out doing all this stuff now and not when it's hot and dry. Anyway we're not here to talk about my boring-ass work life. Let's look at some WRUP. Read more

My Diablo 4 Open Beta Weekend Impressions

I wasn't going to play the Diablo 4 open beta. I had decided it was going to be too much hassle to wait in long ques and barely get to play over what was already a short time. I would just wait for people to give their written impressions and take a look at some videos to get an idea of what things would be like. Then as the weekend crept up I bent to the winds, reinstalled Battle.net and downloaded the massive 85 gigabyte limited access demo. So stick with me in my little op-ed and I'll tell you what I thought about it. Read more
