Movie streaming buffering problems
Search for  "internet speed test," run the test, check speed multiple times.  If it's not the speed you expected, contact your provider.
Buffering  can be a problem from your end or from the sending end. First you must insure your equipment is primed:
  1. Connect your computer by Ethernet to your modem. A wired connection is generally faster than wifi. During my own tests I gained double the speed when wired over wifi
  2. If you can't connect by ethernet move your computer as close to the modem as possible.
  3. Clean your browser history, including cookies. Alternatively use a different browser dedicated only to streaming without any unnecessary extensions.
  4. Clean out your computer startup folder.
  5.  Check your task / activity manager and disable any unnecessary functions
  6. Disable hardware acceleration in your video settings (right click on video).
Now fastening the track to the foam to keep it from moving

Let me not disappoint you

It's been said of old folk: "They tend to regress into their childhood."
So that's what I'm doing and loving it
This little toy has gotten quite expensive since my childhood.
Had to modify my building plan since I've been told that the extra tracks I ordered are backordered from Germany. Promised in a month.  
 
Got to do some glueing of the foam. then I'm ready to upholster.
All Aboard

Homegrown tastes best

Been a few days since I've seen a heavy downpour. I had to water the garden.  I'll have a green bean salad for lunch. I prefer them before they grow to footlongs.



I enjoy bananas. This is too much at once.  It's going to be shared.
Luckily the other banana trees will take a bit longer before they 
mature.
Many of my papaya trees did not fare well as a result of the recent flood.  They have very shallow roots. just a few survived.
