ok well i put the desktop up.. and figured I would try a render. in the next couple of days I will put the directory on the external drive. I don't really want to keep this running too much right now.. I havent' found a good setup for it.. yet. and I kinda like using a laptop. . .. it takes up less space.. so lets see.. got my electric bike back from moms was going to drive it home.but the battery was dead.she did plug it in..but it didn't charge. I had trouble chargign it at home but I took the battery in and got it to charge. guess the battery was cold.. once it got up to room temperature it charged.. last year didnt' have that problem... oh well. it's working now.. it's going to be such a fun year ...my mom now has to move.. nothing like being pretty much forced to leave the house. during a pandemic. my stepfathers son is kicking her out.. my step father passed away 6 years ago.. court said she had the right to stay there.. (they were common law)... the son apealed it ..and now the new judge says no.. the right to stay there only for married people..which is bull.. he only cares about money..she can appeal again..but why? go through all of her money on lawyers that dont help her??? yep .. hopefully ill find a new job next month..
