How do you like your motherboard, scrambled or fried?

Today is one of those days that started great and ended bad...well, partly. Church this a.m. went well. It was "neat" to see jack take the reigns from Dave for a week and make us laugh and think at the same time. Some of our transitions were rough, and Eli said the mix was "off," but it was a great morning. I think some people were pretty moved...and who knows...it's just good to see God work in a room...

Went to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch with the wife, kid, J-mo, Eli, and Emma. Good food...good eatin... J-mo and Eli did have a slight tendency to play some "curb racquetball" with conversation, and Eli probably doesn't need to let J-mo teach Emma any more new "phrases."

Napped this afternoon (yes, a nap worthy of a blog entry).

This evening, went to Dave's for the Crosspoint membership seminar. Good turnout after all. Looks like God's doing some pretty big things in people's lives.

And all was well in the world...UNTIL...

Went to check e-mail, and i noticed my monitor wasn't powering back up as I moved the mouse. "Hmmm...I thought." Tried turning it off...it wouldn't turn off. Had to unplug it. Went to re-boot...nothing...just a black screen and none of the reassuring beeps that everything was okay. Dang it.. After a couple of phone conversations with Dave and J-mo, it seems that my motherboard or my RAM (or both) is fried. Sheesh, I hope it's not the processor. Well, I'm done "tinkering" with it for now...if I "tinker" any more with it, I'll wind up throwing it out a window to see if that fixes it...WOOT! Whatever the case, my biggest concern is that I can salvage the music files and pictures of Kailyn, etc. that are on the hard drive. Now that I have my new DVD burner, that was on my list to do this week. Hmmm...this stinks...

Anyway, send any PC advice to kcbsmp@yahoo.com

So now, I'm stuck with Stacey's PIII 600 PC...heck, at least I can still blog...and e-mail...or play Half Life and other games that are Quake 1 or 2 engine-based.

KEY PHRASES FOR THE DAY: "Where's Kyle...it's almost 10:00." "I've got my 'stuff,' and I'm running." "Bow or burn." "Joel's married??" "Emma, say 'beef tips.'" "Enough about the 'curly' already." "The expiration date on this was August 3." "Dang it, this is going to be expensive, isn't it?" "If you keep messing with it, it'll be even more expensive."

BEST (serious) PHRASE OF THE DAY: "Right away, I knew Crosspoint was different."
