Friday once again! Phew! The wrap up to another long week. I enjoy my job (most of the time) but I always look forward to Friday night. It is the only night of the week that we dedicate purely to relaxation. We open a nice bottle of wine, cook something a little special, put on some nice music and (as they say here in Texas) just "kick back" and relax. Ahhhh....

I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend as well, Mac57. I haven't been feeling quite up to par lately so some rest should do me good!

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been so busy I haven't been able to post very much.

I just got home to my parents' house for a nice relaxing weekend! It's been a good week since I have a new lady friend who seems to like me a lot. The weather is just awesome, it's been mid-60s all day and sunny. Perfect weather as far as I'm concerned!

I also got to check out my .22 rifle that came back from the repair factory. They gave me 2 extra magazines with a larger capacity than the original! I also like the new stock they sent with it too. I dry fired it and I could definitely hear a difference in the amount of "click" when dry firing it than what it used to be.

Wow it's been a great week!

Yikes! I'm trying to finish my paper for my teacher(liberal studies) course. I have to write about 3 strengths that will help me be a successful teacher. I don't know why it's taking me so long...

Good Luck Netty! I'm sure you can find at least 3 things that show how you're a great teacher!

Saturday is here, and I am about to embark on a big upgrade of an older dual boot Linux and Windows ME PC I have. I will be physically re-arranging the existing hard drive and Zip 250 drive to make extra room, then adding a new 160 GB hard drive (for a total of two hard drives) and a new PCI IDE interface card. Then I will be replacing all of the hard drive controller cabling with new low profile Ulta ATA 133 cable.

Finally, and for the "piece de la resistance", I will be upgrading the existing 1.6 GHz Pentium IV to a 2.66 GHz Pentium, plus adding a monster new Zalman heat seat to keep the faster CPU running cool as a cucumber.

I love to tinker with PC hardware, so this should be lots of fun. I can almost hear Geeky1 drooling! :D
