Here I am on a Wednesday night in early February, in the upper part of Florida, and it's been around 67 degrees. Tennessee is just a bit cooler, the mountains where I lived in Idaho are in the thirties, and Seattle is around fourty.

It could be better, Miami is going to be in the eighties next week, but I have no complaints.

I have a new roommate coming in next week. I have made a commitment to our landlady Shelby that I will be at my best, sober, and a great roommate for this lady. She's an older black lady with a small dog, which I look forward to walking. Shelbs said she loves to cook, so it's a good thing I'm doing this purge.

Life is so interesting, and I'm really glad to be alive to still experience it. I just thought about the fact that I have no family older than me, I'm the old guy, the matriarch.

I made my first TikTok purchase the other day. I'm pretty paranoid about using my debit card for this shit, so I refreshed my PayPal account, and used it. The shipper said it would arrive in a week, but it got here in a few days. The small package was sitting on the front porch this afternoon.

So what the fuck was OldManJim's first purchase? The one they're pushing hard (so to speak) is a bottle of Nitrous Oxide to increase your blood flow, which helps your dick get hard, along with some other pills that shrink your Prostate and restore your flow.

Ok, maybe I could use both those things, but I went with the two week Colon Cleanse. A couple of brown pills taken daily which are supposed to drain all the old shit out of your intestines, and make everything clear from top to bottom. Like you could swallow a quarter and it would come out your ass clean an hour later.

So I spent $18.97 for two bottles of 30 pills each, and why I need two bottles I don't know. To make sure I was getting the right stuff I found it on Walmart for $15.04 with taxes included for one bottle, so I got a good deal and it's the real stuff.

As soon as I opened the package, I took a couple of those brown pills from one of the bottles. It's been a couple of hours, I'm writing great code here in the cave, and nothing has happened yet.

Here's a page from Amazon, where they're still selling it for more than TikTok.

I was sitting out on the front porch today, thinking I should have walked the ten blocks to the store on this nice day, but I just sat there.

I spent all morning in the Cave writing code and putting together a slide show for Dan's gun store. I'm not sure if he has any use for any of the 81 images, but it was a good exercise for my old brain.

I found out yesterday that Riley's boss has an attachment to their existing Auto Body shop logo. His daughter designed it and family comes before quality, so I get it.

As I sat on the porch I watched a tall lanky black guy hanging out under the freeway onramp, just across from me. It got me to thinking about what he's thinking.

There are options for the homeless here, but when your brain taps out, the only option you have is to crawl up the concrete ramp and sleep in the narrow space at the underside of a busy freeway.

I met a bunch of these folks when I worked the soup kitchen last year, and they define the word broken. I often consider myself broken, but I have to admit I'm far from that.

Thanks to Shelby I still have a roof over me, and my brain still works. I can only watch that poor man across the street now, and realize how lucky I am.

I've created 81 logos for Dan's gun store, Green Line Arms, located at 1350 South Blue Angel Parkway, Unit D, Pensacola, FL 32506

Here's an experimental Finger Drag scroller.

Well, I just created some cool shit today. I went back to my old buddy, DeepAI, and created twenty fun OMJ logos. Then I realized that I couldn't realistically show all of them sequentially in a Post, so I created a slide scroller, and it runs right here in my Blog.

Here you go:

Damn, this is pretty cool Blog code, I love it, and I'll use it in the future!

I created a bunch of cool OMJ Moon Logo images before picking my favorite, so I thought I would just share the others here:

What an interesting process I have gone through to create my recent code based projects. There was a time back in the early days of this blog, that I was at the top of my web programming game. I knew most everything I needed to know, to create new stuff.

Then I lost it. I honestly don't know how, age, brain damage, booze, or something else. I stopped writing code and just focused on using what I had previously created, to embarrass myself by blogging the truth about me.

And then along came AI, and I can now ask it how to do something I once knew how to do, but forgot.

Like how to gently rock a round image with CSS, and then embed an event into the frame, and make it go to another page when the user clicks on it. I know that sounds simple, but it ain't.

Microsoft's CoPilot is a brilliant programmer, and generates the code I need, that I used to know, just by asking for it. I still need my remaining skills to implement it, but damn, it's fucking amazing!

It can even create a complete page from it's response to the question I asked. For example, I asked "How to Stop Drinking Alcohol Forever" and it generated a great bulleted response.

Then I told it to make a web page out of its answer, and it created one, which I pasted into my text editor as a block of HTML code, named it Quitting, and then uploaded it to my server. It took me a minute.

Here's another I just created about selling stuff on Facebook.

Most of the people in my life have bailed on me, and I get it. Many regrets, and a bunch of I'm sorry, have gotten me down to two that have impact.

I have this roof over my head for a while, and a new roommate is on the horizon. My requirement is sobriety, which I will commit to.

The van Riley was trying to score had already been bought. I told him that everything now depends on my ability to still drive.

Which is a big question, as I deal with my ability to walk. I layed off my meds for a couple of days and felt ok. Then I started them back up today and I have been staggering around the place like a dizzy old fool ever since.

But I wrote some good web code today, and it felt good...

In the meantime, here's some kisses from the Cave.
