Pains…

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

Well, aparently leaves are not only a pain in the arse… but also a pain in the BACK!!! I got done doin the leaves today and felt good. but about twenty minutes later the pain in my back was EXtreme! I’m sitting now at my computer chair, which has a built in vibration & heat system, treating my back.

After hearing back from NewEgg about my graphics card that is on the fritz, I decided to make a trip to the local BestBuy to get a replacement. It turns out that the bad card is either not in stock or NewEgg has stop carrying it. So it will take a few extra days to process. Meanwhile, I need to get my PC back up and running, so I got the new card at BestBuy

Star Wars Galaxies is now updating.
Playing a game of Warhammer 40,000 to test out the card.

What’s been happening to Louie lately??

Many computer problems.
My brother’s computer is still acting up. I recently put a new power supply in it and I hope that’ll do the trick… not sure of what the next step will be.
My gaming PC’s graphics card has gone bad (at least I hope that is the problem). I have it packed up and on it’s way back to NewEgg for a replacement. I was having trouble getting them to accept the card, but got that resloved, so hopfully I’ll have the replacement card within a few business days.
My other PC has been giving me some lip while trying to install a game.

I have been lucky to have avoided PC problems in the past… but recently, the problems seemed to have caught up with me. ARGH! It is very frustrating to have broken toys.

Shelves
I’ve been trying to oganize things in the basement. I got a metal shelving unit for my older PCs that I’ve accumulated over the years. I have a hard time throwing things away (runs in the family haha), and if I fix ‘em up right, they’d probably work ok for someone. I also got a new storage unit for my DVDs. It will make a nice difference to the room… Now I just have to organize those DVDs.

Gaming has been great (except for the recenct PC troubles)!! Been playing a lot of Warhammer with Mike. The internet is a great thing… Mike is in Texas and when we game, it seems like he’s in the next room. Star Wars Galaxies is going good as well.

Leaves! Trees should not lose their leaves. what a pain in the butt to take care of. I spent 3 - 4 hours cleaning up the yard last weekend. It looked good when I was finished, but TIME!!!

Estes is taking the changes outdoors well. She’s not staying out as long anymore. I can tell that she’s getting older… not quite as spastic as she once was… but she’ll still get wired up once in a while. The other day my parents pointed out that she’s got a growth of some sorts on her chest area. Not sure what it is. I knew of one on her leg for quite some time… but the one on her chest is new to me. Poor lil pup.

The movie DOOM comes out Friday the 21st of October. I’d like to see that one. I think it’s based on the computer game of the same name. The Rock is in it… that guy rocks!! har har!

Fantasy Football has been a disaster this year. I’m still have a record of 3 wins 3 losses. I will not be playing in the same league next year. Maybe I’ll try to find a different league next year… but I won’t hold my breath.

Vikings are having a terrible year so far. Problems after problems are holding ‘em back. I had high hopes for them this year… but I’m not giving up on them yet. GO TEAM!!
