      Kept checking in. The shaking started on Thursday and got worse and worse over the weekend. I tried to walk the aisles at Lowes and HD, but it just wasn't the same. Welcome back!

              Some withdrawal symptoms for me. I wanted to get on a jet plane and get back there to help our buddy out. You guys don't know how lucky you are that I didn't. If I DID, it still would not be back up.

              Sam, I know you were sick during this time, and I know that I speak for many in appreciation for your work.

                The weird thing was, I was actually getting to the point where I was getting tired of checking the pc (used Firefoxes check for change thing), and was beginning of straightening/cleaning up the shop .


                That could be dangerous.

                      You mean the site was down?
                      I checked the site so often that it fried my hard drive. Crashed big time. At first I just thought is was normal Vista stuff, but.....That there is a whole nuther story though. Glad to see the site back up and hopefully Sam will be soon as well.

                        Sure did! But it was worth it...the server upgrade made the people friendlier and the content of discussions even more interesting!

                          Tough Weekend.

                          The message said it would be back ... I sat in my office Saturday morning maniacally clicking refresh hoping to get in a fix before I spent the day at MN State dance competition. My daughter's team, Cannon Falls HS Bomber Dance Team, took 2nd place in Class A high kick. Congratulations are due to Yellow Medicine East who took first place and the Aitkin All Stars who took home third. They all had some tough competition.

                          Sunday didn't go much better. My wife totaled her truck. She and my daughter are both fine, just shaken up a bit and a few seat belt bruises.

                          Can we all just call a mulligan for the whole weekend all around?

                            I checked several times a day. I ended up playing with sketchup to make some cabinet layouts and finally pulled down the ceiling in the shop.
