Thread: So whatcha doin this weekend?

    So whatcha doin this weekend?

    It is H O T outside this afternoon. Too hot too soon. I'm staying home this weekend and got so bored I even put another system together from parts sitting around. An old t-bred xp2600 on to a new gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ m/b with onboard video. Had an old 2 gig disk around so for fun I put a copy of ZipSlack on it. And then kicked off eon, only to have it time out, so I then fired it on on TSC to let it burn in a little. Then will probably load that puppy up with FAD and add it to the farm. Only have one more m/b left, and I have an xp1800 I can put on that. Other than that, just sitting here watching the cpu fans turn................. really enlightening.

    So someone else must be out there that didn't go traveling this weekend and is just having a totally exciting afternoon too.................. .

    Ahhhh........... to be so lucky. My garage is rather electrically challenged. Otherwise I'd have a farm out there too........

    Just got back from a trip to the store with the wife. Bought the last two big bottles of Beck's Dark they had. Happiness is spending a holiday weekend at home, with the A/C going, your very own bed, a computer terminal and a nice cold beer or two! Techno jock through and through!

    Been a workaholic lately....

    But I have the next two days off and want to check out any in-store deals at Fry's electronics. I haven't been there in a while and they don't have the best prices usually but this being a get-away holliday weekend they may actually have something at a decent price for a change. Otherwise I'm going to veg-out.

    heh..... ya, I've got a bathroom remodling job coming up before too much more time passes.... not really looking forward to it as I hate doing bathroom remodels. Seems like they always turn out to be a much bigger pain than you ever figured, specially when it's your own!

    Worked some o.t. today, and pressure washed the deck around the pool.If I don't croak from heat exhaustion first, gonna vacum it on Tuesday, get the chemicals squared away, and open it for the residents, on Wednesday.Of course, since I live where I work, this means I can jump my butt in to it, as soon as I officially open it!! Gonna barbacue tomorrow, and probably Monday.Other than that...JUST CHILLIN!!!!
    THE MORE I WORK ON MY COMPUTERS,THE MORE HAIR I LOSE!!

    I received an email from Bok about his escapades moving 13 bags of mulch.... well I should not have chuckled to myself cause the wife picked up on the brain waves and now I've spent the morning outside stringing water drip lines, etc., and putting up lattice work for flowwers and vines. Such is life! Sure is a nice day though for those out fishing, water skiing, picnicing and all those other outside activities!

    It neer seems to end does it? At least it's no longer cold, that is some help. Tonight though...bbq. Our neighbors are coming over...we're grilling some steak and pork chops (hot dogs for kids), corn on the cob and having some cole slaw and baked beans. Tomorrow may be back to work but I'm planning on having some fun before that.

    Ouch...that's painful. Where are you heading out to? How long? It looks like I won't have any more trips until around the end of July. I'm liking that. Have a save trip Bok.
