I had a 64, cassette drive, 8 color monitor, the works.. State of the art machine.

Oh and these pictures were taken about 5 minutes ago.

I no longer have mine, It was destroyed in the 1995 house fire.

When they were current machines, I had to modify a standard RCA cassette recorder for the tape drive, Popular Electronics ran an article on how to do it with just a couple IC chips and a breadboard.

Damn Stefan, That stuff is in great shape for it's age.

I loved Pitfall!! Of course Astroids was the best game ever...there was a bar here that had one of the original video game machines with Astroids on it until recently...

Damn Stefan, That stuff is in great shape for it's age.

Well, the box has about a dozen bullet holes in it and the plastic on the C64 is cracked. And the TV cable is in very poor condition on both machines and should have been repaired in the late 80's. And the tape recorder sustained some damage at some point between 1986 and 1989, but it should still work.

Ok, quick subject change. Our well pump failed. Most people replace them, But I don't work that way.. I saved $500 doing this myself.

Nothing wrong with DIY.
Saving money is a good thing.

Saving money is a necessity in today's economy. Off to scrub out a boiler fire box.

Home ownership is so much fun....

It's official. I'm on my way to being a domestic goddess. This morning I have make garlic and chilli butter to bake some corn on the cob in. I am partway through making a lemon meringue pie, I've nearly finished knitting a scarf. Next project is crochetting a cushion and starting work on a knitted patch blanket. I feel so domesticated.

[infernalis]

will you marry me?
