My main rig is dead. Took a dump last night. It's been having issues for awhile. The mobo is the culprit. I was getting Q-code errors. Of course, none of them are listed in the manual. Tried the memory a stick at a time. Moved them around. Tried other known good ram. Swapped out the video card. Finally tested the power supply. Now down to motherboard.

I have no intention of replacing the mobo. My home server has a better CPU. I'm trying to hold out for a better price on a 5950X. I wonder how many more months I must wait.

Pouring rain here. Been raining a lot in general but now it's really coming down. Crazy to think most of our snow might end up melting so early in winter. We did not even get much at all. Would be kind of cool to get an early spring, though I won't hold my breath. I'm sure we have lot of storms coming.

Wicked storm rolled through here around 2am. Lightning, thunder and hail. Lots of rain. Had to run and get my key fob as the car alarm kept going off.

Sucks you can't just buy a 5950X at retail. Heck, I should be able to get $50 off retail at MicroCenter. That's where I got my i7 920 and i7 4790K for $200 and $250 respectively. But we live in bizarro times. And don't get me started on miners. Waste of power and waste of cards.

Still no luck?

Kind of hard for them to say yes to collectible boxes and no to listing like this one

Witnessed a police chase today. Was driving home southbound on 360 and I saw some (police) lights in my review in the distance. A little bit later a pickup comes speeding up to me in the far right lane shoulder. I was in the inside lane doing 80. I watch the truck zoom past me as he's exiting the highway. The cop was playing catchup. I used to love to watch COPS back in the day.
