Just dealing with Truck repairs after getting a check cut for 1000 more than the repair estimate under insurance, and I keep clean title too.

Things are going ok for me. A trying week at work last week, hopefully this one will be better. I feel like I work for an idiot sometimes, even though he is edumacated. My step daughter is in from Florida, I think this is her last week with us. She is now 17 and has a bf. He seems like a smart kid. I cant threaten him from Canada though. Bummer.

I'm sorry to hear about these problems you're having to deal with.
If only your problem was a simple as mine was last night, leading up to this morning.
Just came in from replacing a bad light fixture outside, replaced it with another one and it's working now. I made sure it was one that had a 110V plug made into it so I can plug a cord into it for stuff if I need to, and in this case I did for the bug zapper.
It was actually setup to power the zapper and I was using a screw-in adapter with a plug for that purpose and I have a blown bulb in it on purpose so it isn't using power because of the light bulb. It's in a location we never use or have need for a light to so I bummed off of that for power to the zapper instead.
Installed it, screwed in the bad bulb, plugged in the power cord to the zapper and it came on like it should - Fixed.
Best of all I can turn the zapper itself on or off inside with the light's switch.
I have one or two things left to do and will get those done in a day or so for weather protection to it.

Glad that worked out for you. I'm trying to get some dry ice today.Yeah I get to repair it myself. Ive only spent 700 on parts this far so i have 4400 left to spend on it. Will drop in a shop to have drive shaft carrier, rear main seal, stall converter changed.
Use LN2 at work for shrinking bushings and axles for interference fit.

Its hard after 10 years of knowing eachother and being married in 2015 just to divorce in 2017 and be on and off together since 2019.
And Right now Thunder which is over 8 mo and 60+ pounds is suffering from diarrhea

Yes use LN2 at the shop also. Cylinder sleeves and Drive shaft yoke ends mainly.
Only had a few lbs of Dry Ice to work with. Got a couple hours of CPU shilling, so that was fun.

Yeah for landing gear parts here.
Will probably go change plug wires later after the heat is less.

This is new to me. Delivery tomorrow. Spent the whole weekend without wheels. I almost got depressed man. I mean I got a bike. A ride to work. But nothing is like having your own wheels! 1.8 litre of fury!!!!! And a turbo. SE package, real nice. All the bells and whistles.  |

I should be getting a shipment of capacitors in this week. I had a slew of miss matched caps on on bx133-raid to post test a few CPUs after the old ones blew. Most were only just close enough to the right ratings... and used. Needless to say it was still unstable. Here's hoping the new caps will make the board stable again as I have about 50 CPUs to bench on it.

I just saw a video on that mobo. Skip to 29:00

But yeah I get you, they are a lot better, but I'd be spending over 100$ in caps if I went tantalum. That and IDK how I would mount them |

But nothing is like having your own wheels! 1.8 litre of fury!!!!! And a turbo. SE package, real nice. All the bells and whistles. View AttachmentWell things have been a roller coaster in my life but 1 thing is I am moving into an apartment in Sugar Land TX, I will have my FX Rig Running and possibly find another Case like mine to drop the AXP Rig into. I recently started up a Laptop my Grandfather had been messing with in 2015. He passed in 2016 and it is a Toshiba A305D Satellite. He had the RTM version of Windows 10 on it, I tweaked the heck out of it, as it only has a 5400 RPM HD and 3G of Ram(from factory), I just acquired a Hynix Replacement from Nanya and its up to 4G now. It's a pretty good laptop from 2008. The CPU is a Turion64 X 2 TL-60 2GHz. GPU-Z Says the GPU is the ATI RS690M, Device ID 1002 791F 1179 FF60, default clock is supposed to be 400/200 (MS basic driver shows 57/401). In Hwinfo32bit the GPU appears as a AMD Mobility Radeon X1200, it reserves 128MB of DDR2. Not even gpu-z can do a bios dump from it but it does read the device id and subsystem id.[/div]
I got a legacy vista driver from 2010, Im having difficulty getting Catalyst Control center to launch, I manually installed the driver through device manager and it is for sure a Radeon x1200. Any clues? Using the 10-2_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc.exe driver
