Days 2 and 3
Motorcycle Trip To Patagonia, April 2023 – Day 2
Day 2 - 440km After sleeping for nearly ten hours, which for me is a new record, I took advantage of the electric kettle (a rarity in Argentine hostelries) and made a coffee using my coffee pack - a Tupperware container with sachets of sugar, powdered milk, and Nescafe Gold, complete with spoon...

Motorcycle Trip To Patagonia, April 2023 – Day 3
Day 3 - 500kms Not being able to sleep through the Rio Colorado thunderstorm, which I was thoroughly enjoying by the way, I slid off my bunk to find there was no power. Fortunately I had scrounged steaming hot water for my thermos flask before retiring and I was able to make a coffee. So, [...]

Day 1 of my Patagonia odyssey.
Motorcycle Trip To Patagonia, April 2023 – Day 1
When my sister gave me a slice of slate from her house near Llandeilo in West Wales some years ago, I made vague plans to take the stone to Patagonia and donate it to the Welsh community. However, the reality is that I stuck it in a drawer, completely forgot about it and only [...]

3000kms in eight days and my rear end really felt it
Back home now with my lovely wifey who welcomed me with a nice cold beer and delicious food.
This is the endless horizon, but no camels to be seen!
I'm ready for my motorcycle trip down to deepest Patagonia on Tuesday morning and being Welsh, I'll be presenting the Welsh Association with some presents from Wales.
It's a long way down (1400kms) and I'm already champing at the bit!
My birthday entry for game sites and I'm still alive and kicking.
This is very handy for those hard to reach symbols:

I was reading on quora.com that someone was trying to add a “lambda” symbol (λ) into a document. Sometimes you can use Alt codes. That is, hold down the Alt key and then type a series of numbers on…davescomputertips.com

Painting and decorating becomes obsessive, yet at the same time, it's nice to change the house and add some colour.
Gaming? What's that?
Argentina exploded in joy and happiness yesterday evening on reaching the World Cup final and I witnessed the scenes of cars honking their horns and fans dancing in the streets.
Believe me, it's contagious!
Sunday will be nerve wracking.
I picked up this lovely used (2021) Himalayan on Wednesday and can't stop riding it.
Reminds me of a mountain goat as it will go practically anywhere.
Searching for a new motorcycle is a serious business, but I think I may have found the right one. Definitely a Himalayan, maybe not this one, but one like it.
GPU replacement shelved!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has died. Long live the King.

Just realised that I've been on TPU for just over six years. I don't usually hang around forums for that long!
Must be something in the water
Cool effect on my new website
Signing my book today at the Buenos Aires book fair!
The president has landed!
The translated version of my book into Spanish has now arrived and I'm all set for the Buenos Aires Book Fair!
I grew these Bird of Paradise plants from seed, but had to fight off the armies of ants. Luckily, they survived but probably won't flower until next year or the next.Attachments

I write for Dave's Computer Tips and we're struggling with the Facebook behemoth to get our site URLs unblocked.
41c (106f) today in Buenos Aires and it's been hovering around that for what seems like weeks. Bring on the rain and thunderstorms!
A panoramic of my new den and a close up of my main PC, which I can now get at without having to move furniture all over the place.
We're getting married today. Yay!
My stepson moved out on Friday and I requisitioned his room which is now my den/workshop. The garage served its purpose but it was noisy, draughty, very dirty and it didn't have a window!
Work in progress...
Hey...
We're getting married on 22nd of October!
First met in June 1976 as teenage sweethearts in Buenos Aires, life took us apart and then we met again in 2005.
The road is long, as they say...
Running Windows 10 with only 2GB of RAM is a painful experience and only slightly less painful with 4GB, which is the maximum a Biostar G31 motherboard will take (DDR2).
Anyway, the pensioner customer only browses the Web and plays Bridge online, so upping the RAM is the best I can do, within reason. Lucky to find the RAM anyway.
