Frankeinstein's Laboratory

I call my computer workbench "Frankenstein's Laboratory" because it's a mess of wires, pipes and humming devices. Once in a great while I get a customer, usually a friend or family member, who knows I can help them (for cheap). This is how I hope to get a little word of mouth. My workbench computer, used to rescue data and research stuff online, is on the right. The computer on the left just received a new motherboard, memory and power supply. Fortunately, the CPU had no issues. The new parts are playing together well, so I can relax and enjoy a Bass Ale now.

Jingle's Story



Anne once had a cat named Precious who was killed in the road in June 2001. So for Christmas, Julie and Rand picked out a lost kitten from the Humane Society to surprise Anne and named him Jingle (which had a Christmas-like sound to it). He had been found in a factory living off garbage, and he had the worst gas you ever smelled when we brought him home. Once his worm issues cleared up, he was fine.

So, as you can see, he has it pretty good at this "factory." I pamper him even more since his companion "Bear" died last September. They used to play together all the time. I keep him busy with a thin wire on a fishing pole and some occasional catnip.
