Comics? No, never collected them. I think you're thinking of my vintage video game collection I had. I sold a few to buy parts for my motorcycle. Then I sold a bunch of them and saved some of the money up along with putting back money from work so I could move away from this shitty town, or go to school or whatever. Unfortunately I lost all the money I had paying medical bills from my two surgeries.

That was the second time in 7 years I've lost my life savings, a little over $30k combined. It really takes the piss out of you to pull yourself up by the boot straps and have them cut like that twice.

Whatever, life sucks. You can't let shit like that bring you down.

I just found a Colecovision in a box with Frogger, Centipede and Zaxxon, don't remember that one. I'm gonna try figuring out how to hook it up to the t.v. and see if it still works. I just need to find the box with the birds nest of cables and adapters first.

Radio Shack, Walmart and a few other stores still sold the coaxial adapter that straight up replaced the old cable boxes last time I checked. They are kinda pricey, I think I paid like $9 for mine but they are worth it. My Atari 2600 looked and sounded better than I've ever seen, aside from running an emulator.

I miss radio shack, they all closed down near me, I think the nearest one now is about an hour away. They kinda sucked the last few years, mostly trying to sell phones and keeping inventory low.

I think I've got a 2600 around here, somewhere, and i saw there's a box marked Nintendo 64. There's even a Commodore 64 down there that I think I still have a box of games for. We're pack rats, nothing gets thrown out if it still works. I just got rid of 3 tube tv's that were 30+years old, they all worked, but I couldn't give them away. I just found 2 more, but they're probably only 20 yrs old.:roll:

Replaced a broken dishwasher so I no longer have to be the dishwasher, Win, Win! Well for everything but my wound, dishwashers are light but I think they may be a little over the 5 pound weight limit my doctor has me on, I don't think I am any worse for wear and the wife is thrilled so win, win at least until I see the surgeon tomorrow :D

Last night at 9 PM I decided I just HAD to take my dog to San Diego. Luckily it's only a 3 hour drive, each way, the freeways are clear (except for CHP) and the Vets are very smart and coincidentally affiliated with UC Davis. So it's worth the trip and San Diego is very lovely at night. Oh yes and cool! Almost 15 degrees cooler, delicious, turns out I can still eat vending machine crap, sleep without a hitch using my purse as a pillow on waiting room furniture and not get gastric reflux from the dreck I just ate, some skills just can't be unlearned #winning

3 hour drive each way? Wow. I could drive my whole state 3 times.
