New Windshield

By Arkayn

Just had my windshield replaced this morning.

It had 2 large cracks, one on either side of the windshield.

Bunch of little stuff

By Arkayn

Still waiting on my refund, but it should be in Friday.

Had to replace the low beams on my car as one died in the last couple of days.

I thought I had fried the logic board on my 530S while trying to do a case transplant, but turns out it might have been a short to ground as it fired right up when I put it back into the original case. Now I have a case and a logic board to work with for something.

Looks like my hours should go back up a bit as we are losing one of our cooks here in a week.

Taxes done

By Arkayn

I just finished filing my taxes for last year, used  Intuit taxfreedom to file both federal and state for free.

Almost done with changeover

By Arkayn

I have canceled DirecTV and tomorrow I will be stopping by Frontier with the modem and canceling them.

Also tomorrow I will be getting the PCI tuner card so I can get back to recording the shows that I want to watch when I want to watch them.

After that I plan on reorganizing the living room as I want a slightly different look in there.

Switching things up

By Arkayn

And now I have plans to dump both Frontier Communications and DirecTV and go with my local Cable provider.

Frontier(Phone & Internet/3MB down):         $90.00/month
DirecTV(Basic TV and Starz):                 $73.00/month
Total                                       $163.00/month
Golden Valley Cable & Communications
Expanded Basic & 3MB down                   $100.00/month

I use a cell phone from Boost mobile and have no real need for a home phone.

Water heater working again

By Arkayn

I had a lovely weekend, lost a computer and the water heater at almost the same time.

The computer was a PSU, the water heater was a thermocouple.

Now I just have to wait for the water to heat up and I can take a warm shower instead of the freeze fests that I have been doing.

Quad is back up and running

By Arkayn

It was the PSU as a new one started the machine right up.

Bad computer day

By Arkayn

I just lost the PSU in my gaming machine, I got home from work today and it was off.

Tried different outlets but nothing and the Dell work just fine on the same power cord plugged into the power strip.

Ordered a new one from Newegg and now will just have to wait for it to arrive.

Decorations

By Arkayn

I got my outside lights up on Friday, turned them on last night.

The tree will be turned on tomorrow.

Boring

By Arkayn

My life has been pretty boring recently, working 5 days a week and having split days off.

This week I work Monday and Tuesday in salad prep, Wednesday off, then Thursday, Friday and Saturday is Prep.
