Gee, it's been awhile!

Too much has been going on lately with the HQ-A contest and just things I've had to deal with at work and  life in general. I've been working on a Hackintosh system to sell for anyone who wants one, but can't build it themselves, for whatever the reason. If this is successful, I may do another one, but if not I will load Ubuntu on it and probably sell it on Ebay just to recoup my costs. Here is a video of the system in action in case anyone is interested:

The ProjSys2 contest has come and gone, the winner was an HQ-A member in New Jersey. The system has been shipped and he has received it. I hope he enjoys using it as much as I did building it. Here is the video of the drawing:

While trying to be good and keep my speed down, I managed to catch the attention of a female KY state trooper the other day coming home from work. I was passing a semi and got up to 72 MPH while doing it. She just happened to be coming the other way. Normally when passing on this stretch of road I would have been doing 80-85 MPH, but as I said, I was trying to be good. Guess I'll find out how much my attempt at goodness will cost when I pay the ticket.

I know it made me sick, I've been off work since. No, it wasn't that, but I believe I caught a bug which has been going around. Some sore of stomach virus, not much is staying down, but hopefully today I will be able to keep what I eat for a longer period of time. It's no fun being sick, but I try to make the best of it by sitting in front of the keyboard in between trips to the bathroom.

Attended the swap meet last Saturday in Louisville. Talk about a lot of people and stuff! I'm not sure how many buildings this thing took up, but I thought we would never stop walking! I'm not as young as I used to be, that is for sure. But it was fun to see all of the old cars, parts, etc. Hope to go to another one in May which is held in Springfield, OH. Jim said that one is better because there are places to rest there. This one would have been much better if there was just a place to stop and rest a bit along the way.

We got a brief snow shower yesterday. It actually got colder during the day, down to about 30 or so, before it finally went back up around 41. It is still March, so I suppose that is not out of the ordinary, but this winter seems like it will never end, even though we have had a day or two in the 70's already. I'm ready for spring and summer to get here, I hate cold weather.

I've always heard when you start talking about the weather you've run out of things to talk about, so I guess that is enough for now. Hope to make another post sooner rather than later next time.
