Getting old with computer issues

I have not posted for a few days because I have had major computer issues. I still cannot find out how to get volume, (which is why I undertook this project to begin with). So in trying to fix that issue, a friend and I wiped out the computer and started over again from scratch. It solved a few problems, but still no volume. We should have checked out his speakers first, he brought them over for that reason. But we didn't, we smoked some sativa first. Talk about making a small problem more challenging. Yet it ended up being the best thing we could have done. It only took about eight hours to reinstalling all my programs and favorites. I now understand the computer a bit more and have pushed back dementia for a few more months.
That's the way I look at things from the other side of 50 years old.
