Finally have my main Windows 7 PC back up and running.

(Was dealing with a dead 1 TB Hitachi hard drive over the weekend-it was one of my storage drives.)

I did once.

My Pack rat wife squirreled it away with the wrong power unit.

I pulled it out to use it and it pretty much went pop.

Fortunately it was a pretty old one, so i didn't go completely beserk, was a older 19" LCD monitor.

I hate when she does that, I think she's learned not to do that anymore.

It was hot today, almost 30C, but most importantly it was dry. Finally I was able to mow the lawn. Downside is when it gets that hot it usually leads to thunderstorms and then a couple weeks of crappy rain and cold. The weather here is ridiculously unstable. I am going camping in a week from now I really hope we at least get dry weather. I'd be happy with low 20's and no rain, but that rarely happens here. Our summers are actually shrinking, we used to get 3 months. I seriously think about moving sometimes, just tired of it. Would be nice to live in a place that still gets good winters with lot of snow, but has summers that are nicer than what we have. Probably Maritime area.

I burned out a router that way... plugged in the wrong wallwart.

I really which companies would agree on a standard for wall warts and stick with it. Ex:

Make a standard plug for:

3v, 3.3v, 5v, 12v, 24v, 48v

And maybe other oddball voltages in between.

Lot of routers are 5v too, that can easily catch people off guard, you'd think they were 12v and a 12v adapter usually fits. Oops. 😛
