"mechanized PC assembly line" Some of friends and relatives may think that.
I got the builders bug, and then got real serious about running F@H.
I was folding on another team for awhile. Nice people and good team but they lacked the enthusiasm I was looking for, so I thought I'd come here and give you all a run for your money.
So, now I'm doing something good for humanity and having some fun at it too.
Actually, I just switched my secondary rig's production over to S-M, and when I build my primary rig, I'll have that production going toward S-M... I'll still be nowhere close to BDR!
That caused what I like to call "explosive laughter" when I read it
BDR, if going up that steep incline is too much for you, feel free to switch a box over to "GeneralKeebler" any time you like
omg, if I ever came to the folding forum one morning and there'd been no new points since the night before I'd... I'd... well, I don't know what I'd do, but it wouldn't be pretty.
I'll be losing the 1700+ running @ default speeds soon, but hopefully I can bring back my old p3 500MHz and add another 1700+ running @ default or slightly overclocked.
Maybe... maybe... I'll have a chance... I'm going to add three rigs folding for me soon, and I'm converting my sister's rig to XP, so I'll start running it as a service with -advmethods and -forceasm instead of the graphical client I've got on there... so just maybe...
Going back to the enthusiasm mentioned earlier by BDR. I am tempted to switch to #93 (once I establish a large enough lead over my friends) because they don't have anywhere near the same level of enthusiasm.
However, I don't think I can afford to buy machine after machine like BDR can. I've got two trucks . . . one brand new, and being under 25 and male is a KILLER on insurance too. Also, I don't qualify for multi-vehicle discount because I'm under 25. What a rip! You get screwed coming and going, eh? Hopefully I can commandeer a few machines and that won't cost me any $.
She folds, she overclocks, she builds nearly as many computers as IBM, Compaq, and Dell combined and she still has time to be wife, mom, and grandma!:wow2:
BDR,
that's damn impressive! Where do you find all the time?!
I guess it's time to get off my lazy butt and get my two machines to help out with the "SM Cause." I've been remiss so far, but I guess I really have no excuse.
I've been meaning to leave that sorry excuse rip-off agency disguised as an insurance company, State Farm, ever since they ripped me a new one last year when my truck was vandalised! I just haven't had the time to research it, but I really should as I hate giving those leeches money just to rip me off. I'd rather save a few bucks and be ripped off by someone else than pay full price to be ripped off.
So, to anyone out there that has State Farm . . . be ye warned, they suck!
"Like a bad neighbor, State Farm kicks you in the balls."
GHoosdum said Geico gives me a multi-vehicle discount, and I'm 23 and not married. You might want to consider changing insurance companies...
I agree. They really are a bad neighbor. I used to have State Farm... but as soon as I made a claim, they dropped me from the insurance policy because I made my money back from them... Geico treats me much better.

and I'm waiting for #7 to turn a WU. It's a 533 Celi and the protein it's running right now is taking forever.
Look for that trend line to go up in about a week, when I get #8 built.
//edit: D'OH! I just noticed that you're currently ranked 177 and I'm currently 178!

You've definitely found a place with ENTHUSIASM!
I love logging in and seeing all those new posts in the Team Short-Media folder.
You got a great team here.. no.. _we_ got a great team here.

Man...I mean woman, you are on a terror.
Yes Ma'am!
/me showers, shaves, put on deodorant, cologne and some nice clothes.
So, um, BDR, where ya from? You like computer nerds?
Seriously, that's some good production there. What are the specs of your machines?
(I know what you mean about enthusiasm. I fold on a team w/ some buddies of mine, but they're not enthusiastic about it like the SM guys are.)
So am I.
That's what I was implying.
I'm from Illinois. The land of cornfields, wheat and Lincoln.
Do I like computer nerds? I am one, so of course I like them.
Not only am I female, I am probably old enough to be "mom" to most of you all here.

Lol..
Guys, I'm old enough to be your Mom. I've been married over 20 years. I'm a grandma of 2 girls and 1 boy. Ok.. now that that's in the open..
I'm also a computer nerd and have been for 6 years.
I build my own.
I am a F@H fanatic.
So, I guess I'm a rip snortin', pc buildin', F@H runnin' Granny.
Sheesh, now I'm makin' myself feel old.
oh, and my name is Brenda.
Keep trying mate
Infact.. I think alot of our team are gonna see her fly past their stats
It's all good

Yeah... I've been storing an AMD 1800+ for a friend. (Which means, yes, I can't overclock it)
I have to give it back once school starts (9/5) But seeing BDR catching up so fast to me is getting old.... I'll make it take .38seconds longer.
BDR,
that's damn impressive! Where do you find all the time?!

But really State Farm just rapes you in the @$$!
Good luck, a2j...
