was at a old car show and came across this
I am having a bit of trouble updating the old laptop. Briggs is probably the only thing keeping me from shooting that ancient dinosaur of a laptop.
A few pics of the farm. I got about 5 acres bush hogged today, cleaned out several lanes used to access fields. I also got everything ready to skid out several trees and pile them for burning.
The big pine by the pole barn is still going to be a pain. When I pull it with the tractor it'll act like a big plow unless I can roll it over 180 degrees. Difficult to do with it laying on the cedar tree.

Hard to tell if you were really complaining about a slow laptop, or just wanted to post a photo of your cat. But if it's the former...dademoss said:
Try running "antiX" on it (that is a low resource Linux distribution). Boot it from a CD or USB stick, and if you have 4Gb or more of RAM, have the whole OS put itself into RAM at load time. That will probably make your laptop run like a scalded ape. If you don't have the RAM, and end up booting and running from a CD or USB2 thumbdrive, then things will be slow. Running from a USB3 thumbdrive will be tolerable. You can also do what is called a "frugal install" which doesn't really install the OS on your had drive, it simply puts a few files alongside all the other existing files on your hard drive. But it runs fast that way. And it's a simple matter to delete one directory and the files in it - the frugal install directory - if you decide you don't like it.
If you indeed find that antiX runs like a scalded ape, you might try "MX". This is another Linux distro. Medium weight. Brought to you by the same folks who produce antiX. MX is a little more full featured.
Both antiX and MX are based on Debian, so you have a huge repository of software that you can install very simply.

Mainly the cat , but thanks for the Linux info.
My morning walk
Stopped by an area store and saw this.
Had to snap the pic...

Beautiful, I'd be the guy blocking the lane to look at medicinal plants on the side of the road. Speaking of which... Next time you take a walk snap a few photos of the weeds beside the road. I study medicinal plants. I'd luv to see what grows in Ireland.

I took this months ago but forgot to post it. This is "Floyd's Barber Shop". Not Floyd Lawson from the Andy Griffith show... just another guy named Floyd who happens to be a barber, and an Andy Griffith fan.
I really like an old fashioned barber shop, not many left around here. The old one's in small towns are an information clearing house. New jobs, local politics, sports, mostly funny. Some of the old guys who hang out are a riot. There's always jokes, lots of jokes.
Haven't posted this in a while... My grandfathers old straight razor and his razor strop, US Cavalry. I think his bil brought it back from ww1.
The strop was made by W.R. Case and Sons. IN WW1 WR Case got some big military contracts. It put the company on the map. Before ww1 "Case" was 4 brothers, each had a mobile knife sharpening business. After the war they were a major knife manufacturer.
Years ago I called the Case n Sons museum. They verified my strop was made by them. They also wanted me to donate the strop to their museum. Evidently they don't have and example of the strops they made.

Usually I'm the one posting those kinds of pics!! Raining and 75° here right now!!
We saw this guy yesterday. He was tangled up so we cut him loose.
It was way to big to even try to get in the boat.
He's at least 7 1/2 foot long and very big around. Which make it a 18 inches to long to keep even if it was season.
It's a sturgeon for those that are wondering. According to the charts it was close to 200 pounds and around 35 years old.

Ha Ha Poor cat.
Yesterday, being the first of Sept, was the start of the duck season here. OH went out at 6am with some of the gun club, then returned at lunchtime. Then headed up to local mountains to do some training with some of the younger dogs - I went along for the walk and photo op's.
Found cranberries for the first time also

She's adorable! I love torties. They tend to be the cuddliest ones.
My friend's tortie had these little ones.

Alice, the cat pictured, was a bottle baby. I found her when she was bout the size of the ones you pictured. She was still nursing and needed to be stimulated to poop. She ended up being K's cat since he was the one getting up in the middle of the night to bottle feed her. Now she is all about the girls. She LOVES being picked up and carried around by them but screw K or I if we want her attention.

Camp Red Devil, Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam.
This was the northern most, our Brigade was responsible for the DMZ.
There were no Viet Cong up here, we were always surrounded by hard corps North Vietnamese Army regulars.
I didn’t know until many years later that this was the most dangerous part of South Vietnam. I thought everywhere was that bad.
I’m a survivor, and I love being with my Brothers at our annual reunion.
WOW, thanks for sharing that, and THANK YOU for serving!! Glad you guys can get together every year!! Most 21 year olds today would faint at the thought of doing what ya'll did, you are true heros!!

I think its very sweet that K bottlefed Alice. It's weird how cats choose people. My brother is the one who rescued Mewlatto and as a kitten Mew would sit on his shoulder and adored him. Now Mew mostly ignores my brother but he sleeps in my room and wants cuddles from me all the time. He's currently on my left leg. Older pic of him while he was on my lap:
He likes to gently pet my face with his paw.
