SWing'R

So, todays gone well.... - fixed my pc - topped off the tank on both bikes and added stabilizer - removed the battery from Melissa's bike, plugged the tailpipe, pushed it into the corner and covered her up - took mine out for a spin! Yeah, that was nice, envigorating, not to bad out! Rode around Hilliard until my fingers got to cold.

Priced a new ram module @ microcenter, can get a PNY stick for only $20, so I'll pick one up this week and stick it in there see what happens. Just glad to have the pc working again, and with a fresh install its like getting a brand new one, yay

Okay. Just found out some more interesting information. I DID have some RAM problems afterall! Even though the memory testing showed none. Forgot to mention that during the last round of format/setups I removed my second strip of 512MB DDR400 just for shits & giggles. I've had the pc back up working great for the past hour, installed SP3, reinstalled my McAfee AV/FW, working great, no reboots, no errors. So I decided to stick the ram back in. Immediately after windows started back up it crashed and rebooted. That stick of RAM's now in the trash! So I wonder if the ram problem led to a corrupted and screwed up operating system? So for now I'll just do with a single strip of 512MB ram until I can pick up another. Thanks for everyones help and suggestions.

It LIVES! It took me since 7pm last night but I think I got it to take a fresh install. I think the problem was that even though I was selecting to format the drive during the install that it wasn' trully doin that, there was also a small (8mb) unused partition on the hd, it seems that every time I tried format/install it always told me there was an existing windows directory on the system even though after a format there should not have been! What I did that appears to have worked was used FDISK on an old MSDOS startup disk to delete all the partitions (the main and that unused one) then create a new partion and format that using FAT32 and all available space. Then I went back with the XP setup disk and selected format the drive using NTFS before install and this time the install went thru without a single error and I'm currently running the SP3 update. Yay! It lives to see another day. Persistance appears to have paid off this time, I was close to trashing it.

Finally had some time available this evening so I proceeded with a HD wipe and fresh windows install. Well, thats what I tried to do anyway. So far (on my 4th? attempt now) I have been unsuccessfull in reloading Windows XP Home on the pc. I continue to get various BSOD errors and file copying errors. Its not looking good for this machine. I feel I may have just aquired several "spare parts" for the "next" machine. Pricing replacements now.

Dayton? Where's that? J/K. No, not really. I was born and raised in NorthEast Ohio, I trully love it here in Columbus. Would I like it somewhere else scenic like Colorado, probably. I haven't had the chance to travel much

I meant "coverin my ass" by saying "Love you honey" in case she reads this, get it, CYA... cover your ass!

Dude, you're nuts.

Yep! Big pockets of ice all over the parking lot. I never game much thought to maybe their car didn't start, they probably do work at Kroger cause I was there for awhile and they didn't come back. No windshield, no fairings, brrrrrrrr.

Its a black Boulevard, not sure if its anyone on here. Just crazy. Kinda funny, while sitting here I've watched two cars and one shopping cart almost hit it.

Thats crazy cool. Looks like it'd be fun but looks like it takes some skill to learn how manuever like that. Can you imagine being on your bike and being passed by that; be like WTF was that??? BTW, looks like a fun ass road to ride!

At least thats my opinion, crazy to ride today, its freaking 22deg out according to the dash thermometer on my truck, theres huge wind gusts not to mention snow and ice, BUT, this guy rode today.... Just snapped this pic in the parking lot of Kroger @ North Hamilton and Morse Rds, notice the freaking ICE in the parking lot between my van and the bike. Crazy.

Got her home this evening around 10:30p. She's resting comfortably and will probably read this thread tomorrow. Thanks again, you all are great

Yes! Another one of my favs!

I thought we'd stop by Wendys for a tripple baconator on the way home from the hospital tonight! J/K! We'll ask. Still waiting for her to come out of recovery.

Welcome, Tick

See thats weird, I asked the surgeon about that when he talked to me afterwards and he said theres no need to change your diet, that the body does just fine without the gall bladder. Hmm, we'll see if anyone says anything and what the discharge papers say.

SHE LIVES!!!!!! Shes out of surgery and in recovery, doc said all went well and she's "fixed" now She will be able to come home later this evening. Thanks all for bein there for me, and her

Cause Purple Rain wasn't any good J/K, it was good back in the day, but Prince is a moody sob, but gotta love Morris Day and the Time!

I LOVE this movie, just watched this the other day again too, been home sick the past two days. Oh hell, its Upgrade!

Probably shouldn't use that word while talking about Time Warner, thats one of their rivals here in Cbus

The Fifth Element Dude, Wheres My Car? Robin Hood: Men in Tights (just watched this yesterday)

She hasn't gone in yet, her surgery was scheduled for 2:30pm, according to the board she is still in preop waiting to go into surgery. When I posted the thread last night they told us surgery was gonna be this morning, it wasn't until this morning we found out it was gonna be this afternoon. So I'm sittin her in St Anns surgery waiting room, thank goodness for free wifi huh

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and prayers. Just got a call from her a little bit ago, her surgery is scheduled for 2:30pm this afternoon so look for an update from me here late this afternoon sometime. Thanks again all.
