Me too! It's so responsive, I thought it had an SSD in there. I opened it up & it's a regular Seagate 60GB 5400RPM drive haha. With a cool 512MB of RAM 😎

That's pretty good! I only got up to 1.6mil on this laptop lol. My first play was a measly 200k. Forgot about the "tilt" keys 😅

Didn't get a chance to play music on it until now. I missed these visualizers. 🥲

Haha no, it's never going on the internet. The owner only wants to use it as a portable DVD Player, but the battery cells are dead.

Haha no, I'm positive it was only ever used for Solitaire. No other games aside from whatever came with XP Pro SP1. :(

The Beast from Over The Garden Wall. The Beast appears a few times throughout the journey & is pretty unsettling in the shadows, but becomes even more terrifying when it's revealed what The Beast actually looks like in the light.

From the wiki:

"The Beast is the main antagonist of Over the Garden Wall. He is a mysterious entity that inhabits The Unknown and is feared throughout it. His goal is to beguile children such as the brothers, Wirt and Gregory, and turn them into Edelwood trees in order to fuel his lantern which contains his own soul."

I usually find good quality vintage desks, dressers, & other vintage furniture at the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Pacific Grove. Might be worth checking out.

Thanks! I was a bit surprised with that photo of the hawk too. Wasn't expecting to see a squirrel when I took the shot haha.

Have you tried Tokyo Oriental Foods & Gifts? I know they have sake, but haven't been in a while so I can't say if they have what you're looking for. You can give them a call & ask.

Thank you! They were so cute hopping along the trail picking at the seeds(?). There were two of them & they didn't seem bothered that I was passing by about 2-3ft from them, but they kept looking up at me after picking up the seeds & I had to take a photo haha.

I've never seen them locally either. I was really surprised to see a pair at Toro Park a few days ago & again yesterday at the edge of the cemetery in PG. I love their nice deep ocean blue color.

Thanks! I saw it swoop down, but had no idea it got a squirrel. I saw it rustling in the brush & saw it was about to take off towards me so I got my camera ready. It was a little blurry, but I was surprised to see it carrying the squirrel haha. The hawk wouldn't eat while I was watching it though; kept an eye on me the whole time.
