Welp, as everypony can see by the fact that I’m still up-and running, dusting out the PC, fans, filters and radiators went pretty smoothly.

Smoothly, quickly, and efficiently, thanks to the new toy that arrived just a few hours ago.

I’ve never understood why desktops aren’t designed to filter outside air before that’s drawn into the case.

Wish me luck: time to clean out all the fans and filters of my desktop.

True tragedy is buying an ice-cold six-pack of hard cider (Hellooo Rainbow Dash! ) only to discover they aren’t twist-off caps....

...and you don’t have any bottle openers.

I’m not ever going to make the “Popular” and/or “Featured” lists. I’m not ever going to have EqD wanting to publish anything I write. I’m not ever going to see the “views” or “likes” a lot of other stories display.

I’m really hoping that MS Flight Simulator 2020 is as good as they’re advertising.

My baby:

Some stories never written,
others’ endings never seen

Daydreams call to me,
mocking with the truth of never becoming

Promises I make, in all sincerity,
Only see utter futility

Staring at the boulder, and then up the hill,
Swallowing the bitter pill,

Nothing like Classical to inspire my inner Muse!

I’m sure most, if not all, of you have noticed the rather lengthy gap between earlier chapters and the latter ones. This often happens when, during that interval, your doctor looks at you upon releasing you from the hospital and says, “We didn’t think you were going to make it.” . . .

Four different times.

It’s been about 9 months since my last hospital stay, and--with crossed hooves--hopefully I’m due for a very long break before another one.

Chapter 12 has been published. Six additional ones are in varying states of completion. At least one more should be published before the end of the year.
