Happy Day and the Mounting joy on the Horizon!
Well, after much saving and a few close calls, my new BFG NVIDIA Geforce 6800 Ultra OC is on it's way. I won it last night in a last second scrap out with another bidder. $371.78 is the damage after shipping but i think i got a FREAKY great deal being that the card retails for about $500. Anywho, I now have beefed up my game collection as well having added DOOM 3 and Half-Life 2 to the stock. I guess our first UT04 Fest is going to be the first weekend in May, which will be in perfect time to test out my completed system.
Work is work and i find myself having less time to blog and such since my boss is back now, but i'll try when ever i can. The offroad beast project is moving again, after a long computer building lull, and i find myself selling axles and all other manner of auto parts to fund the project. I still am not sure about the Buick 455 being usable in the project. But passing up the oportunity to run a bigblock with that much torque is a little hard to swallow. I do think, however, that i'll end up just rebuilding the 350 Vortec i have in the garage, as this'll prevent me from having to build an adapter for the transmission and i know it is a proven motor.
Stupid movie night was a whirling blade of bad jokes and seemingly tasteless humor. In other words it was a huge success. I do have a suggestion of a movie for the next one though. The Jeff Daniels classic "Escanaba in 'da Moonlight". It's a really bad movie about hunting and general wierdness and spontenaety. (<-- i don't think i spelled that right) THerefore it qualify's for the event.
NIkki and i are still trying to sell our house, and the prospect of building in Elk Ridge kinda fell through. We figure it'll be good to sell ours first and move in with my parents for a few months while we rat hole a bunch of money for a down payment and various other things. My only hope is that i don't end up living there forever, and i am not really happy with calling Lehi my home.

Mmmmm..... Geforce Ultra 6800. There is much UT/Quake/Stuph to be played.
Trust me, I don't even think Lehi as a city likes calling itself home. I freakin' moved from Lehi to PG when I was 16, but I tell people that I'm from PG originally.
#1 reason to move away from Lehi: Get yourself an internet connection that doesn't suck.
