Today's shopping

Was out grocery shopping after visiting my manga guy for maybe the last time since Diamond is gone. Scooby Doo cereal had a $2 coupon. Doritos Late Night Fully Loaded Taco is excellent, Lay's Bacon Grilled Cheese really should have been Grease. Butter Beer Hershey's Kisses - You have my attention. I bought 2 bags. Also the pile of $2.25 Pączki. I should have bought $20 worth. But I held back with 1 box of Raspberry. WHY WAS THERE NO DIET 7UP??

 

 

 

Did the survey from the register slip & got asked what I thought about the spicy breakfast sausage patties. "I am depressed & eat spicy foods so I can feel something."  I wonder who gets to read that.

Discoveries

Well, I found out some things today.

The little white box for converting composite video to VGA signals works! I bought this device off eBay about a year ago? It was last year anyway.

And one of the chargers which I bought in bulk & suddenly stopped wanting to charge my LG56VL actually works as this is what I'm powering the box. The image looks best in 720p mode.

As for the color... The tube is working fine as the self-test showed me. This is an input problem. Likely with the cable having a broken wire somewhere or it could be the box not outputting the correct colors on the correct pins. I don't know. The monitor has no way to adjust the color guns through the config menu. So I'll probably do something about the cable. This monitor is a Multisync model & best at adapting to odd video signals.

Product ideas for Palmer's

After eating some of the chocolates from the latest bag of stuff I bought at the store from Palmer's chocolates, I thought it would be more fun if the bag had more chaos.

As the bag comes, there are 4 different versions of the heart shaped chocolate. And the version you get is the same in each wrapper. If you grab the Gold wrapper chocolates, they're all the same. But what if you had 50 or 60 different wrappers & the one you grabbed was not what you were expecting? eh? Sound good? You hate the white chocolate ones but you can't just avoid picking the neon pink wrapped candies. It's just fricken random! Maybe a green one, next a puce colored one! 4 flavors, all wrapped differently.

Another idea came from during Christmas when I bought a little mesh sack of chocolates obviously meant as a stocking stuffer. Missed opportunity by not having nuts in some of the candies. Almonds, Walnuts, peanuts, etc. I also have the perfect name for this. It's absolutely brilliant.
