SSD for an older laptop?
I am considering buying an SSD for a old laptop. We still use the laptop. it works fine as a web browsing machine. I also want to use it for navigating in my motor home. I think having a mechanical drive in a laptop being used in a moving vehicle may kill the HDD prematurely. Hence the SSD idea.

Starting annuals from seed
So yesterday night, I started planting some of the seeds. I know it is a little too late now. The frost date in my area is around the end of April. Here is a quick online tool to find out your frost date. So from today we have around 7 weeks left. I have planted: Petunia Shock wave Red [7-21 days] Impatiens Accent White Hybrid Impatiens pink [seeds harvested from our neighbor] Impatiens Shady Lady Tango [orange] Impatiens Accent Red Hybrid Pentas New Look Mix They say that we should start them 8-10 weeks before last frost. Hence should have planted around Feb 15th. These seeds were bought from Park Seed.

My second love!
I LOVE motorcycles. But they are my second love. The first love is hi-fi stuff. Ever since I was able to drive I have owned some kind of motorcycle….be it a Vespa scooter or my current hooligan bike! I also have a vintage Russian sidecar hack. more on this later.

Renovating my motorhome
We recently bought a used motorhome. It is 10 years old and needs some renovation. Here are the changes I am planning: Change flooring Replace carpet Replace toilet Replace countertops in the kitchen and bathroom Replace faucets Replace the sofa covers Replace captain chair covers The plan is to rip out the old carpet and vinyl flooring in the living room and bathroom area and put in new laminate. We are going to leave carpet in the bedroom area and under driver and passenger seats. I am going to do the laminate installation myself and let the professionals do the carpet installation.
