I have hardly even had a chance to peek in here lately since I have been working so much. They are supposed to be putting on a helper to take up the slack so I won't have to work 70 to 80 hrs a week any more. My water cooling project has been dragging on for months now and I'm so close to finishing but need 2 days off in a row to finish and test it before powering up. My rig has been down for a little over 2 weeks since it came time to start moving my parts in preperation for the swap to the new W/C case. I just put a second machine to gether in a pinch with an Nforce 420 chipset board and a Palomino 1900. So I can at least be folding again and not have to use my wife's machine to get on the web. The good part is after I get my rig up and running again I will have 3 machines folding!!! ;)

In case anyone doesn't know, I haul heavy equipment around with a big truck. It is rather physical and strenuous work loading/ unloading the equipment and throwing heavy chains to secure it to the trailer so I get a real good workout every day. The other good news is that I am supposed to get a pay-raise to make up for the difference in hours when I get cut to about 5o hrs a week. :D

I feel for you Larry. I work no less than 12 hours per day M-F. I had a couple of 16 hours days last week. One thing about being on salary, you can work all the overtime you want and the company doesn't mind. :D

Well my single day off was spent at work (on my own!) .. trying to find out what was up with our exchange server. I feel for you guys. Don't think Ive been home before 7pm any night this week and I do start at 7.30am.
Such is life, but at some point.. vacation! :D
