OH thank you. Well I might have to go for a ride then.
Thanks for the prompt reply.

edit: Oops - I would need a SATA interface -- Nvme interface too modern for my old hardware.

They sell PCIe adapters for $5 to $10 that will work. May not be as fast as a native motherboard with a natural slot, but it should work. I don't know if you can boot with it, depends how old the BIOS is.

National Pretzel Day many pretzel places are offering deals or free pretzels. I got a free one from Auntie Anne’s, had to use the app for the deal.

My better half placed a pair of adorable looking overalls in the cart of an outdoor gear website we sometimes check. They're made out of a super light but durable tech fabric like hiking pants, which she thinks will be great for yard work and they were 70% off.

Then I received a $20 off $100 coupon and found a great pair of Mons Royale merino wool knickers for myself. I have several other pieces of merino from them, they are all super soft and durable, and the knickers were over 50% off. Combined, the two pieces were $81 with the coupon applied!

Getting dispirited by my last few trips to the discount rack at my beer store.
All they have lately is overpriced 4-packs. Used to have cases of 24 12 oz cans or bottles of the 'good stuff' imo (heavy, hoppy, high octane) for $19.97. Haven't seen those for a month ! Sigh...

Also, now I see other people browsing the rack when I come in. I have to wait. I guess I was spoiled before, lol.

OK, the beer store must have read my complaint here. I went in yesterday and found exactly what I wanted (almost) on the discount rack. Russian Imperial Stout pints in a 4 Pack for $7.99. A little too high to be considered a cheapwad find, imo, but the Russian is perfect, I must admit.

Where I go for discounted beer, they have mainly seltzers and ciders anymore. Not really my thing. Too sweet. They do have "off season" beers a lot slightly after season. Things like Octoberfest or winter beers.

Unintentional pun?
