Salvation Army, Goodwill etc etc...have keyboards for a couple

I have plenty of spare keyboards for free, to anyone in the

Florida area. Probably 100+ right now.
Shoulda been prepping with food 'n ammo instead, boy.
I hope you label them clearly so you don't dump ammo into the hot
deep
fryer.
No biggie. I -like- spicy food. Also, I see that you didn't answer
the challenge.

"In his book "Gunshot Wounds" Vincent Di Maio describes various
experiments where ammunition was heated in ovens. He says that .22
long rifle cartridges detonate at an average of 275F, .38 Special at
290F and 12 gauge shotgun shells at 387F."
Would you stay around long enough to shut off the propane, before the
oil volcano erupts?
I'd like to think that I'm a bit smarter than that to begin with.
kaff,kaff
I answer challenges from 6AM to midnight; you don't get to add to the
list.
So be it.
Last midnight and early this morning were wasted on bugs my cellular
ISP finally admitted plague their website.
Grr...
Then there was covering everything outdoors for predicted rain and
reinstalling the bedliner on my truck. I removed the bed a few days
ago to find the fuel filler hose leak, then spent a day trying to
track down a replacement for less than the dealer's $317, or Amazon's
2 month delivery.
I'm still searching for gasoline-proof duct tape. Let me know if you
hear of any. The last of my epoxy putty hardened up on me, so I can't
fix any more mower gas tanks this decade. I might try this HFT epoxy
http://tinyurl.com/hsbgugl If it works on HVLP poly jugs, it should
work on a gas tank.
The rest of this morning and part of the afternoon were spent trying
to backup and restore the hard drive with the mindless Win 10 version
of Seagate Disk Wizard, then giving up and removing it and installing
the powerful and dangerous Win 7 version, and learning to use it. Are
you sure you meant to delete and wipe the C: partition?
Has anyone ever found a decent backup software? Y'know, one where the
media still works when you need it?
Then I found the source of the basement leak, fortunately a pinhole in
a jug instead of the toilet it was next to.
That's good.
Now I'm collecting evidence and composing a nastygram to an Amazon
supplier who advertised two new laptop drives but instead sent a
laptop drive with 12,000 hours and two free falls recorded on it and
a 'recertified' (failed) desktop drive.
You bought -used- computer drives? Shameful. They're bad enough new.
In my spare time I try to learn how to set up my neighbor's new
"self-install" XFinity Ethernet and WiFi gateway and update the clean
install on the computer I'm loaning him for it. MS couldn't make this
simple:

?
I haven't found GWX nagware in it (yet?) but it adds their Customer
Experience Improvement Program telemetry spyware which I manually
disabled(?). Experience this, dammit!
--sigh--
I finally had to uninstall either 9 or 11 Windows Updates to finally
get rid of that GWX virus. Now that Win10 is no longer free, maybe
it'll go away. I, too, try to turn off the spyware whenever possible.
