OLD COMPUTERS

.

OLD COMPUTERS.

You no doubt have seen the adds too.

"New life for old computers".

HA, HA, HA, HA.

Really, I have no complaint.  But when I

saw the add I was tempted.  I have several

old computers laying around and to be able

to put new life into them with just a little 

flash drive.  Amazing, I want one.  Why

even my newer computers could use a new

burst of energy.

There was only one problem.  My

computers were too old.  What they meant 

by old was late model to me.  I do not 

remember seeing what operating systems

this new burst of energy would work with

in the ad.  And apparently my old computers

are "pre-historic".  So, now what.

Well, the sound system on the computer

I had my music in went bad.  So, I turned

the little OLD computer in the picture above

into my new sound system.  It now has 

eleven hours of the kind of music I like

- Not what you like - down loaded into it.

The gadget I bought might not have worked

for me.  But I thank God that it made me

do something with that old computer that

is a real blessing to me.

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

A few years ago my wife and daughter wanted

me to make a cross and put it up in the yard.

One of my favorite hymns is "The Old Rugged

Cross."  Of course that was the thought that

kept going through my mind.  So nothing slick

or fancy would do.  It needed to be old and rugged.

You guessed it.  I make it out of old railroad ties.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creature; the old things

passed away; behold new things 

have come."

(2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB)  

Tired of your old life.

Don't only start a new year,

but get into a relationship with Jesus Christ and

start a new life. 

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WANT

I spotted the little tractor above at a friend's place one
day. After looking it over good  and seeing it was a
well built little tractor, old and just sitting there, I
confess to wishing I had it.

It had a hydraulic powered draw bar, wheel weights and
a hydrostatic transmission.  It would be a lot stronger
tractor than the little thing I had.

In time my friend wanted me to get it running for him.
So, I brought it to my shop and "fixed" a bunch of stuff
to get it going.  Then returned it to my friend.

It was being used around his farm pulling a mower.
My friend has a lot of volunteer help because of the
camp connected to the farm.  So the tractor was being
used a lot by "young boys".

You guessed it.  They ran it out of oil.  So, back to my
shop to go through the engine.

Does it surprise you that now I am content to not
have that little tractor?

OH BOY - GRAND KIDS

Grand parents like to show off their grandchildren.

This one is my great grand daughter.
In contrast to most "kids" I caught her here
doing something worth while.  Of course how
long that will last may be something else.

"Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it."
(Proverbs 22:6 NASB) 

FLYING CONTRAPTION

Faster than walking around the lake.

More fun too.

I do hold the distinction of being the second

oldest rider on this zip line.  But then, I'm

only 83.  I have been beat by a woman.

She was 92 I think.  That is embarrassing.

HOME SWEET HOME

They don't make them like they use to.

GROW OLD

"I am old now;  I have lived a long time,

but I have never seen good people

abandoned by the LORD or their

children begging for food."

(Psalm 37 25 TEV)
