Watched the hog wrestling. It was fun. Hot outside though. Too hot!!

I see you all have been entertaining yourselves....

We have been trying to entertain ourselves

I always tell my wife we have to leave a half hour before we really have to leave so we aren't late.

Been married 23 years, I have to tell her 1 hour earlier on the time, she STILL makes us late.

She already knew what time we were supposed to be there. ?? Not much to do
A deer ran out in front of us on the way to the fairgrounds. I slammed on the brakes and was able to turn just a bit to the left and avoid it. I've had to do that twice since we got the Lexus, it is amazing how well it handles! Today we were on a gravel road and we didn't slide/drift/etc. Just went right in a straight line, except where I turned the wheel and the rearend stayed behind us. I'm amazed by this vehicle. I feel very safe in it.

IBM, you ever play the game: Blazing Aces ? It's a WWII airplane simulator/shoot'em up. I like it.

Anyone who's thinking of grabbing a new video card, I highly recommend a EVGA nvidia 240GT.

I replaced my BFG nvidia 8500GT that was struggling to maintain composure playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 at 1024x768 at the low setting and the heat sink fan was spinning so fast I thought that I was going to have liftoff a lot of times.

This 240GT card barely breaks a sweat running it at 1900x1200 at high setting. Talk about great graphics, I can now see the really fine detail in the sniper scope right before I send them to the meat grinder.

Everything else I throw at it should be a breeze. Has 1 DVI, 1 VGA and 1 HDMI plugs, and I'll be trying out the dual monitor tomorrow when I hook up the old 20inch LCD and run it side by side with the 26inch HD wide screen. Should be nice to see.

Is this the one that was advertised on late night TV for awhile, or was that Aces High.

Only flight sim I ever liked and played a lot was US Navy Fighters, nothing like a Tomcat.

Wish the old software that used to run on Win 3.1 would run on Vista.

We can only kill so many each year!! I got two last year, could've gotten more, but the freezer is only so big.
I started using a muzzleloader for the first time last year. Amazing gun. Shot a doe at 85 yards. By the time the smoke cleared, I couldn't see her. There was a buck courting her, he came back to the area where she'd been standing and I could see him putting his head down. So I figured she was there. I got down and walked that way, had to practically run him off. There she was on the ground. Bullet entered 1/2 way back on right side, broke 3 ribs, through the heart into her left shoulder. I expected to find the bullet in the shoulder but didn't. When I got her back to the house and lifted her up with the front end loader of the tractor, blood came out a hole in her left neck, the exit wound. I love my ML, and won't shoot a slug gun again unless I have to.

you guys scared me. I was off line for the last 2 or 3 hours and all the pw had me looking at to many pages to catch up with. Now I see there was nothing really there.
