I'm No Computer Guru, But I Did Stay At A Holiday Inn Express Last Night...

Rachael and I recently upgraded our computer. Everything was working great. One day I decided to set up our old computer and set up a network. After installing the wireless adapter I was ready to go.

This is when I discovered a problem. The DVD drive on the new computer wasn't working. I tried un-installing it, but that didn't work. I consulted with Les the International Man of Mystery and decided to try installing a new drive. Well that didn't solve the problem either. I was sure I would have to reformat the hard drive, which is a very time consuming project. Les also suggested googling the error code I was getting. I had tried finding a solution on the Internet before, but I didn't try searching the error code. Wouldn't you know it, I found a possible fix. It involved accessing the registry, which I know nothing about, but the directions were pretty straight forward. I went through the steps, restarted the computer, and it actually fucking worked. The drive works fine and I don't have spend hours reloading windows and all my software.

I will tell you this, our next computer will be a Mac.

Cheers,
Buddy

A Mixed Weekend...

While Fatmarc was having his fixie doughnut ride, I led a ride from my place. L Webb, Tom and Jeb Bagger joined me for a nice road ride. Lauri even brought doughnuts. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to join Marc's ride, but I just can't bring myself to drive to a road ride.

Jeb showed up with his spanking new mountain bike, he just couldn't resist riding it, I was glad because it kept him from ripping my legs off. It was a good ride as far as road rides go.

Sunday was a trip to Les the International Man of Mystery's pad for a trip around Brandywine. I was feeling a little tired, but I was looking forward to playing in the rocks. Once again Les put together a great loop, while dragging Ethan, Peaches, Bike Line Rich, and Elizabeth around with him.

Rich and Ethan have showed major improvement riding the Rock Gardens of Brandywine.

You think it is a coincidence they are both riding 29er single speeds? As much fun as I had on this ride it left me pretty much shattered, so I spent the rest of the day on the couch, watching Football in HD with our new Verizon Fios TV. Which, if it is available to you, I suggest you get it.

Well, that is it for me, have Fun.

Cheers,

Buddy
