Mine was the Week of March 22nd

My spring break was the week of March 15th.  I would have much rather had spring break Easter week.  But, it's all good

You could all just skip spring break and go straight to summer where I am now.  My high today is officially 91°F, and it feels like everything is on fire outside thanks to the relative humidity dropping to 15% the past three days!   I can't remember it getting so hot this early in the year.

Wow, Patrick! That is hot! We're stuck in the high 70's-low 80's. To be honest, I'm freezing.

Due to extensive cloud cover, Lansing officially fell 2 degrees short of our 81 degree record. It has been overcast ever since around noon.

Anyways, I went out to Howell, and the customer service at the Staples there was phenominal. It's just annoying how I have to drive a half hour out there and a half hour back. My desktop computer is all alone tonite, without my company
Looks like costs may run me close to $70. Not to mention I'm buying a brand new lawn mower this week.

I am thinking of purchasing one of those electric lawnmowers. I am EXTREMELY lazy when it comes to cutting the grass. Heck I don't even do it now. I think it would be neat to try one and see how the technology has improved. Thank goodness Roomba can clean my room

Do you have a small lawn to mow? Electric/battery mowers are only recommended for smaller lawns, and you have to recharge them every 3 daze or so... or else you can inadvertently cause damage to the engine.

All I need is a pushmower. My backyard is as small as my living room.

The ones ive looked at seem to have enough power for the square footage or come with a second battery.  Just hook it up to the charger when not in use and its good

I don't even need a lawnmower. I don't have grass.

haha, fail (the picture I have attached)

But anyways, adding into that discussion about lawn mowers, I found a really good one at Sears on my way back from Howell yesterday afternoon. A really good Honda/Craftsmen mower for $336. 21", self-propelled gas engine. Gotta have self propelled...

Adding onto my post here, anyone remember that issue I brought up yesterday, regarding that burnt plastic smell I was noticing with my desktop's power supply? I went all the way down to Howell

And dropped off my desktop computer. An Easy Tech I've known for years (who moved from the Lansing store out to the Howell store) looked at it this morning. I'm glad I did not just go with replacing the power supply. He found the burning smell to actually be coming from the computer's graphics card. The graphics card's fan has actually gone kaput, so it is stuck and won't turn. Not surprising with all the things I've done with it. But anyways, I bought that graphics card new in February 2008. I'm hoping I bought the protection plan on it. If I did, then I can just swap out this one for a new one (or at least the cost of the old one can go towards a new one), with only the cost of installation to be concerned about. But if I did not, I'm running at least $200, with both the cost of the new card and the installation. This is not to mention, I probably should buy a new power supply (nothing was wrong with this, but a new graphics card would probably require a bigger power supply than the one I'm using).

Point being, I probably won't have the computer back until Tuesday. I'll try to record WUWA on Monday and Tuesday with my laptop, but if there's something you missed, I only have files from up through yesterday at noon.

Since the forum will be closed starting tomorrow for the merge, I want to wish everyone a happy Easter!
