Bowlcut’s little piece of the world

I love water.  Its fun to swim in, take pictures of, and cook in.  But lately here in Nashville we have been in a bit of a water shortage.  So much so…they’ve asked the rich not to water their lawns.  That is one thing Ive never understood.  The fascination with lawns and how much work some people will put in to them.  I mean, grass is there to do nothing but keep the dirt from washing away.  So now they have asked the rich in Franklin to do us a great favor, dont wash your sidewalks, dont water the golf course, and turn off the sprinklers.  I mean, how nice of them….  Let us poor folk drink, thank you.

Me and my computers don’t appear to be on very good terms.  First I get home from Mid-Ohio to find my file server turned off.  It’s power supply, dead.  So I grab my last power supply I have not in use here, and throw it in the box.  I boot and I am missing some drives, I figure “crap Ive lost my data.”  Well it was that the cable came loose when I was changing power supplies.  Get that fixed.  Then because of this heat, it keeps shutting down.  If it lasts all day its amazing.  I may try a bigger heat sink on the processor but they are 3 times as loud as it is now and that sucks.  I also may move the network around this weekend and put it here in the living room where I am never at.  Last night I also noticed my F drive was gone.  It doesnt show up in the bios any more :(.  So I lost a little data, nothing important tho.  Ill work on that later tonight.  If I figure right, thats my oldest drive at somewhere near 10 years old.  I guess thats not horrible….  Ok now on to work, we are starting our every other weekend off again this week.  So its my week to work, sadly.

That I have a few more readers here than I thought.  So, maybe there is a good chance Ill write more often.  I need to find a theme for this place sometime.  Not just my mindless ramblings.   While they may entertain some, they are mostly boring if you ask me…

But I went up to Mid-Ohio Raceway last weekend.  8 hours in the car each way, almost 90 degree weather, and miles of walking…had a great time.  Always fun to hang out with Kakashi Racing.  Tho the guys couldn’t seem to keep from hitting their teammates, it was a decent weekend.  Had some heated battles, had some highs, had some lows, but over all a good showing.  Greg came in 4th, but 1st non CRX which was amazing.  I found out I can speed swap a transmission in next to no time.  Rear suspension takes maybe 30 mins to replace.  And bending out front bumpers is all cosmetic, so use the big hammer.

I cant wait till the ARRC to hang out with the guys again.  I dont think I can afford to fly up for any race in between, but the ARRC being only 5 hours each way is defiantly on the to do list.
