Good day to you all it is I, Scrooloose and I'm done with this speech pattern already. Yesterday it was 73 and sunny with some nice fresh feeling breeze action. Today it's going to top out in the high 40s and rain. And tomorrow it may snow a few inches. Gotta love that early Spring weather. I'm a middle aged man. I talk about the weather. It's what we do. Let's get to the WRUP though because I don't know, maybe you're not a middle aged man. Or something... Read more

Hey there everyone. We survived the end of March and made it to April, even seeing some pretty great April fools jokes on the internet. One from CD Projekt Red advertising a limited edition of Cyberpunk 2077 installable from 97,619 floppies. They say it should take around two months of non-stop floppy disk swapping to be playable. That one made me laugh pretty good. There was also one that had me going for a moment until I read a few details in about Nvidia buying Xbox from Microsoft in order to better compete with Playstation. Which honestly doesn't sound too terribly out of the range of possibility until you get into the details: Dual GPU SLI configuration and AI to power the box... yeah.  Tweaktown you almost had me for a moment there. The article even contains renderings of the NVidia Xbox. Pretty fun times. Read more

Hey there everyone. It's me, Scrooloose and it's the weekend. I missed last week for no good reason at all, but here I am now so let's WRUP this. Read more

Hey everyone, good morning. The sun is just coming up and boy do I greatly dislike daylight saving time changes. I'm trying to train myself to get use to it, but it's rough. Anyway, here we are once again for a weekly WRUP. Read more

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

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

Hey there everyone. It's time for a WRUP. It's been a busy morning for me so I'm a little late. But I'm here now and even though I don't have a lot of info to share this weekend it's only because I haven't been paying much attention. There, see. Nobody's fault really. Read more

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

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
