busy, busy , busy
« on: July 11, 2006, 07:17:12 am »
So I've been away for a bit--whats new?  In the last few months we have undertaken the top 2 stressful things in a persons life and its finally getting back to normal.  On march 17th we took possession of our our new house with my wife 7 months pregnant.   Needless to say I was on my own for the move and getting the place ship shape (including 1200 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring, central vac install, all new light and bathroom fixtures) then on may 5th my next project popped into the world--Samuel Charles--weighing in at a healthy 9lbs !

So finally Im able to dedicate a few minutes here and there to hobbies, which brings me back here.. :applaud:
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

Hey menace -- congrats and welcome back.

Lots of new products, The Wiki,The Kid has stopped coming to auctions and Paige has vanished in his RV. I finally pulled the monitor from that BattleShark and need to sit down and run the flowchart on it (it wasn't the filter cap like I thought).

How's sleep going ?

Cheers

not bad--he's getting 6 hrs in a night which compared to the previous 2 months is an eternity  :cheers: Sorry to hear the battle shark is kapuut again--damn arcade monitors anyways...nice to hear the kid is gone--guess he realized that making 5$ on a machine isn't worth the time and effort of outbidding all of us and selling on ebay.  maybe now i can buy some more el-cheapo pins  :applaud:  Ibriefly saw the wiki--Saint approached me for some monitor type items but again real life came crashing down--i'll have to have another look today if i get a moment.

CheffoJeffo, you forgot to warn him that noone likes any of the spinners on the market anymore -- they all seem to have encoder wheels with both too many and too few teeth!!!    :dizzy:
