Picked up this car fridge/freezer from SetPower. I was skeptical it would freeze, but it does and works rather well and is quiet. They have larger ones but I don't shop for a family, just me.

The problem with Hotd is that each episode is like 5 years have past since the previous episode, making it difficult to follow. Ultimately it builds up to the dragon war, and you learn why at the end of S1. I hope S2 is better. There is also a cartoon MAX is releasing probably at the end of this season which is a side story.

Basically just going to post when I drop individual pounds to reduce clutter. Now past the 15 pounds dropped mark. Diet is boring. That is all.

Up again. Had yoga yesterday as well. Weird how the body holds on to weight and then drops it suddenly. Will see how it looks tomorrow.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

@Breakdown64 Ha! I keep typing that wrong. Although there are days where I feel like I am 300 pounds.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

Weight 330.3 / 343

I snacked on too many peanuts I think. I don't think it is actual weight gain, but just water from the sodium being held. Probably.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

The Star Wars is there by accident. I don't think it needs reposting to remove that. Just noting that it is just called Adversary and not Star Wars Adversary

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

Console #7
Star Wars: Adversary
Man: National Semiconductor
Date: 1976
Type: TV Tennis Console
Country: USA
Chipset: MM-57100N
A fairly advanced (for the time) system that offered color graphics and sound through the TV speaker.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

Console #8
The 400 Mini
Man: Atari
Date: 2024
Type: TV Console
Country: USA
Contains 25 games plus can run additional games via memory card.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

Console #6
Go Live MystiKats
Man: Playhut
Date: 2006
Type: Cartridge Based Handheld Console
Country: USA
Playhut created three dolls, each with a cartridge based game player with stand that communicated to the console.

[Kevin J Baird @tempestb]

Console #5
Dot Matrix Game Player YD-959
Man: Yuanda Electronic Factory
Date: Unknown - Before 2013
Type: Cartridge Based Handheld
Country: China
This is very much like a Game King 1. Black and White with low resolution. There were at least two models made, and like the GK, the second unit had static colored backgrounds. The pack in games are the only ones known to exist.

Down 13 pounds total as of today. Need to check my keytone level. I'm supposed to do it every day, but I see little point in that. It makes sense for diabetics to check glucose daily, but as for me, I think every other day for keytones is fine.
