Coverboy Axxxel of New York City
Making Do...
By Daddy
Las Vegas — Don't have enough to put up a normal Christmas tree so I've revived the small tree that has been sitting in the corner of the living room for the last several years. The lights had burnt out, so it received a LED lights facelift that runs on a battery pack and can flip between either white or multicolor. "Micheals Crafts" has their miniature ornaments at 70% off making it easy to trim the tree. It'll probably be the coverboy for the 25th.
I haven't decided if I can afford my usual Holiday shutdown. I know that I'm taking Christmas day off which means no reviews on Thursday and have a ham in the refrigerator to cook a scrumptious meal. Thank you to the kind person that gifted it to me. I may also take Friday off to make it a long weekend. Will be playing it by ear for the rest of the year.
I had freed up a 2 terabyte USB drive which is now hanging off of the Backup appliance that I put together and I'm monitoring it closely. Sitting at a rock solid 39°celsius (anything less that 50° is good.) BobbyB has backed up 73 gigabytes of data so far. Transferring the data from the 1 terabyte drive gave both drives a good workout so we know that they're solid. Not bad for a $100 computer! I plan to write up the process say that other people will know how to do it.
The "Pluto channel" is free this week so binge watching RuPaul which I have the chance.
We're at the 60% level, barely enough to pay the rent but not the computer hosting. Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page

Gay TV Producer Richie Jackson Pens A Memoir For His Gay Son
By David Artavia
New York City — Picture it: New York City, 1983. It was the dawn of the HIV epidemic in America, when love and loss were practically synonymous for those in the queer community.

It was a time of lawlessness, a time of integration, and a time to revolt. (More)
