Attempted to install a higher capacity PSU (550 watts) and a new 512 MB Video Card on my Dell PC. Unfortunately I received the wrong parts from OutletPC.com, second time the send me the wrong parts even though not only were they provided w/ the model number but also with a picture of the video card. Of course they are not opened on weekends ... @#*&)%

I hope all goes well with Bugsey.

X3 for today. So far made breakfast for my daughter and replaced the batteries in my hygrometer and added water to the humidifiers in my humidors, so far so good.

Added some water to my fridgedor. Lost a some humidity in the transition to cedar drawers and shelves.

Yeah, it takes about a week it seems for the cedar to fully hydrate so to speak to a consistent level. I forgot to mention that the vinotemp with those cedar drawers looks absolutely bitchin' Mike. I am kind of tempted to get another one for the house and get rid of these humidors. The problem is if I get storage that is larger than the stock I have on hand I will start acquiring more cigars. This is why I haven't picked up a second wine locker, I know my weaknesses.

picked up my HE-5's at the post office this morning and am now giving them a first listen.

Shopping at the mall.

Lunch with kids.

Having a few ales now, to be followed by a nap.

Wife's office Christmas party tonight.

Installed a double glazing unit in my bedroom window.

Continued project "throw out years of old shite from my room". The project goes well. Less shite = moar speakers.

Took down the shelving I put up a couple of months ago.

Filled in all the holes in my walls with surface plaster.

Window shopped for wall paint inspiration on the dulux webpage.

Installed a double glazing unit in my bedroom window.

Mmm, donuts.

Made orange marmalade and just finished canning 8 jars of them. The second batch planned for tomorrow.

Finally put up my largest diffusion panels. (12 2'x2' squares on the back wall)

I thought they were a hard plastic but they turned out to be a closed cell foam. It actually made installation far easier.

Its amazing what a difference it makes, this room was nuts before. Sounds stay in their point of origin better if that makes sense.

Pictures, please.

A couple from last week and one from today:

Should be ready to drink tomorrow.

Sat and calculated tube circuits for most of the day. Can't wait until this phase is over and I can actually build this thing...

I should have put that damn kegerator in my office when I had the chance. Now we're probably going to be selling the house and further "improvements" will doubtless be vetoed by the boss.

I am watching Craigslist for a decent kegerator. I hear the less expensive ones are not very good but the high end ones go for $1500 new so I think I will go inexpensive first.

i gotta get my planned beer brewing. a steam beer, to be called Cleveland Steamer.

Sounds good Reks. We will have a bunch of regional HC brew.

Just got back from the obligatory Santa visit, for which there was a 2 hour wait to have one's photo taken. Even my 3-year old son thought that was ridiculous. So we had some lunch and caught a show. As children's shows go, this one was actually pretty good. Maybe because it was all....Canadian?

EDIT: And while it was a good show, I still have a headache, need Advil, and a drink.

maybe i should call it Dutch Rudder.

I think you meant HeadCase Dutch Rudder.

Pictures, please.

More, larger photos will be posted in the setup pic thread in a second. Ignore the pink paint on the door, second white coat isn't on yet.

thank you to everyone for the kind words and positive thoughts -- it's greatly appreciated.

bugsey had the procedure late last night. they passed a catheter out the urethra to remove a stone that block it, which constricted and obstructed his urine flow. the vet also removed a few stones from his bladder.

my wife and i visited with bugsey this afternoon and he seemed to be recovering nicely, but also was sensitive and very sleepy.

he still has an iv in his leg.

trying to stay awake -- i hope the pain meds are making him feel good.

if all continues to go well, he'll be coming home monday.

Right on, Bugsey. Have a good rest and get on home.

Your dog is awesome, I'm glad everything went well with the procedure and I hope he'll recover fast. I really miss having a dog, they're such a comforting presence in a house, it feels empty without them.

whoa! my wife would never approve of that. Looks uber cool though.

Rock on Bugsey!

Good dog, Bugsey!

Way to go Bugsey!
