Nice. There was a time when I really impressed myself with what I could do in MS Paint. Believe it or not, I can't even open Paint today. To explain, got a brand new HP laptop sometime back. Don't use for much. A few weeks ago I snapped a pic to use as my avatar here. Took a notion to add a bit of text to it. Point and click, windows, accessories, paint. A box pops up, says 1st to look for a newer version of Outlook. I'm like WTF? not Outlook! Feckin Paint. Clicking my way again, windows, accessories, paint. Damn thing opens Power Point. Now I'm getting angry, shaking a bit, cursing louder. Closed power point, and here I go again, move the mouse slower this time. Wife is watching when I click PAINT!. You might guess. No? Damn Outlook again. Still downloading latest version. I gave up, held the power button down rather than throw the fecking thing. HP had sent multiple messages asking for feedback. I had ignored those. When got yet another such request ,, Oh yeah, they got both barrels. My only mistake was deligating the purchase of a new lap top to wife and daughter. They purchased from Walmart dot com. Without additional rant about the hot solder splatter across the screen fresh out of the box, tell everyone you know, HP does ship seconds and/or rework to Walmart. Go to Best Buy, anywhere else.

New is not better!
Del seems to know his way around computers. Maybe he can help you get an old version of MSPaint
 

Morning!
Crazy wind here this morning. And nothing in our weather reports. Big bang and a flash outside, have a tree smacking power line and arcing. Wife is freaking out and im sitting here drinking coffee and typing out this post. Not much can be done in the dark with this wind.

Stay safe and what a not nice surprise.
 
Laptop I'm using right now is an 'upgraded to Win10' Dell. Runs slow, and clogs itself up. Only good thing is that my Credit Union needs W10 to access the website. Can't use my home computer even though its newer 'cause it has Win7 Professional.

700 entrants in the cornhole tournament. A Guinness World record. There is a rubber chicken throwing contest. It used to be rolling pins until that got out of control. :lol: And of course the Butter Cow.

My grandparents use to take me every year when I was a kid, but now we go about every 10 years on average. Like you say, just too many people, and without actual machinery on Machinery Hill, I just don’t feel the need.

Only time I hit the Fairgrounds now with any regularity is for the Back to the 50’s show.
 
The portable shelter Kim parks in moved from the wind. So its up against the car. I never screwed in the anchors.
So now i have to get car out and re-align shed. And this weekend i will anchor it.
