   No, not really.  I need to get a conversion kit for the propane furnace so I   
   can hook up a 40-pound tank to the system so Felix and I don't freeze to   
   death over the winter again.  Being out where I am, it's hard to get the   
   motorhome into town every week to fill up the small internal propane tank.

   Hey, that works.  I'm reclaiming the dinette table by getting rid of this   
   desktop I have on it; just bought a nice HP Elitebook 6390p laptop for $100   
   including shipping and tax.  Waiting for it to arrive so I can have a lot   
   more room in the motorhome again.   
      
   On an on-topicizer: with the computer shuffling that will be going on when I   
   get the laptop, I'll be moving the BBS to a very tiny HP "ultra small form   
   factor" desktop.  It's literally over half of the size of the current BBS   
   machine so that will make it easier for me to tuck the BBS away in the   
   corner of my ham shack.  It doesn't need much power or anything these days.   
      
   As I've said in here before, if Slackware can compile on the RPi 3 and I can   
   get a DOS emulator working on it, I'd move the BBS to that too.
