Old stuff finally being implemented.

.

I had... things for the ps4.  For a long time.  Just... couldn't get to installing those things.  An external hard drive, external ssd, and internal ssd.  Well, I finally tinkered and got the external drives working.  Then, had to tear it down to get the cooling problem sorted.  All good.

But, I decided, finally, to install the internal ssd.  Which, hardware-wise, is about a tenth as difficult as a complete tear down.  Actually, only one panel needs to removed (no screws with that part).  Then, one screw to remove the drive sled, then four screw to remove the original (hard)drive.  Then installing the new drive, an ssd, in reverse.

That... isn't what stopped me.  It is backing up that hard drive, then reinstalling that "drive picture" onto the new drive.  Seemed... complicated... programmy.  Not my cup of tea.  Still, seeing what else I did, I decided to hit it today.  So, as I write, the original drive, while still in of course, is being backed up.  Takes... a bit.  But, whatever.  When that is done, all I have to do is shut the machine off, replace the drives, and then start up and put the backup to use by installing on the fresh drive.

As well, I purchased an memory extension for the ps5.  AFTER I set that up, in a bit, I will, after handling the ps4, I will install the extra memory.  The ps5 has an ssd, but it's smaller.  This will nearly quintuple the storage on the machine.  And, it is just as fast as the memory already onboard.  But, this time?  I'll... have it ready to go from the getgo.  No more waiting years to get things installed and going.

I know, I know.  Sometimes I forget, or get lost, or get ill then things get... slid off to the side, or hidden under other things.  It sucks to be so close to death sometimes.  Heck, I can't even play games all the time, because even that is too much, to hard on me, difficult.

I have had to learn that wherever I am, there I go.  I start from there, with what I have, while I have it.  It's as good as it gets.  I... don't mind, finally.  It's messy, slow, a slog.  But, as mentioned, this is what God has left to me, seemingly asked me to endure, and possibly more?  So?  I try to do more than just endure.  I attempt to enjoy.  And, some days, like the last few, even if I didn't... say every single little tiny syllable no, but basically...

Basically.  And, really, I... am my own king, of my own little world.  It doesn't include anyone else.  It doesn't need to include anyone else.  Not within my domain.  Hmm... it's good, even when it isn't.  I have learned to humbly suffer well.  A... good thing to know.  No, not really a pastel kingdom, lavender save that doesn't quite work.  Men can't be women.  Though some might suspect such.  I quite like dames, and... just as things are.  Even if I don't have one, at the moment.  I certainly... have had them.

So, yes.  Doing a few things.  Too high of a risk of rain to mess with the window.  But, hopefully, that will happen soon.  Tearing out the old, putting in the new.  Oh, I need a better hammer drill for that.  I... had been offered to use one, checking on that now.  Always something.

My mother called.  Just a quick update.  Saying... update is forthcoming.  I then called my brother.  Hello!  Click.  But he called back.  Just to let me know he was getting in the shower.  Had to laugh.  Okies.  I'll... be waiting.  Just tinkering while I wait, anyway.

Oh, and the new shower seat arrived.  I put it together, and have it ready to try.  Hope this one is sturdier.  Shorter, but with crossbeams.  It should be sturdier.  Just not quite as comfortable or tall for seating.  Everything is give or take.  

Sassy is terribly hungry today, so I... look... if she begs, out of character, several times?  I'll feed her.  If she just does a beg check, that's one thing.  If she pesters?  She is hungry.  I'll feed her extra, sometimes, for that reason.

Well... on to check the first machine.  Change out the hdd for the ssd, and get it all reset.  Then some gaming.  Then to the ps5.  Yes, I am excited to see what it can do.  But, for now... one thing at a time.  I want things done before I trip over myself while trying to do too many things at once.  That's never a good program, for me.  I am a terrible multi-tasker.
