Saturday wipeout!

Had planned on going to a party tonight but it became apparent after visiting the mall that it wan not going to happen. Between pain and work related stuff its been bagged. Ah well.. Ill bet it was fun.

Was also supposed to to Fiesta park this morning to see the inflation and inspection of the Arkey balloon. It was too windy to deal with all those animals and that big ship. So its been pushed off to next weekend. We have also put in for a rally in Angel Fire and I hope all goes well there. Its beautiful and such a closed almost hidden valley of green I cant wait to fly about it.

So I spent the afternoon re-doing a bunch of stuff. First I swapped drives on the acrylic computers so that they windows 8.1 OS was no installed on the six core, 16 gig ram computer and I upgraded the dual core from 8 to 16 gig of ram. The ram has been sitting in a box all this time waiting for the excuse to crack the case. This was the time. After all that moving I had to rerun every damn cable including the xbox. I routed the xbox from my surface screen to the acrylic screen because I kept getting motion sickness watching it... After all that unplugging and plugging.. yeah. still get woozy watching the screen while playing a game. May have to sit back farther.

The acrylic computer came up nice and quiet but it didn't much like the swap and windows thought I was reusing the software in a second computer and had watermarked my screen. I went and reactivated it and that was a heck of a long process with nine sets of six numbers.... way fun! Now I have to get in there and update all the software... damn... and get it to the point of similarity with the other two computers. I took pictures. Still gonna be a pain in the butt.

Nice blue glow is back and running nicely. I was going to buy and install an SSD but there was no reason for the speed or the cost yet.

Xbox is up but the video quality isn't fantastic.. its okay but.. well its probably me. Sound is good and the little subwoofer is okay. I did look into a nice headset but that's... well....

Trying to find a headset is as hard as anything else.. stupid, confusing and so many mods that each one has good things and bad things and its a very big pain in the ... butt!!!  I want something that has good sound quality and is almost noise cancelling as well as wireless... lot of reasons.. I have a very ncie set of headphones but they do not cut external sounds at all and I have ear buds that are sound cancelling but are a pain to wear and they get tangled up and fall down between the chair and table all the time.... Pain in .. the........ BUTT!

Went to Johnny Rockets today.. maybe that's why my stomach feels a bit odd... I do or did like the old drug store feel of it and ran into friends... But now Id rather have passed on the hamburger.

Oh! I did even get all my camera equipment in separate little containers. DSLR stuff, GOpro stuff, cleaning stuff and connectors then cables combers and cables chargers... took a while and I threw out a massive amount of junk but its somewhat nice and sorted. I have a lot of cables to put out in the garage and I do have some bins to separate out in the other room but right now its all nice and orderly at the moment. Must think about whats next next.

My facebook banner is from last years flight from Fiesta Park with my brother. It was fun. Normally flying from the park is an up, out and land things. Not much chance to get low and have some of that kind of fun but it was in the end a good little trip with a fast deflate on landing. THe long ( selfie arm ( 8 feet )) was attached with a GoPro on the end. I love the view but the arm is a pain in the... what... butt to set up and work around. I should have put two cams in.. One doing 11megpix snaps and one doing video. THis is a video clip so the quality isn't that great.

Logo is from the same flight. Nice flames there...

Funny below...

Time to go find a snack to settle the noises below.
