Hey,hey, hey!!! Got my new motherboard and CPU in my case and it is doing fine.
This is the first time since way back when...that I have all of my drive lights working, and this Tech has managed to connect a light on the back where my Cable connection is. And yes I'm still using it with the side panel off. I can see 3D graphics for the first time.

Oh yeah, it has a Mach Speed P4MST-890 Socket 775 motherboard and an Intel Celeron D 356 3.33Ghz 512K 533FSB CPU. This is going to be fine for my XP. Only things I plan to do now are to add another stick of memory and swap my hard drive for a larger one. Then we start on my DREAM MACHINE.

As far as food is concerned I have sort of grazed my way through summer. I didn't get my spring garden planted but local prices have been good and this is the first time in over 10 years that I have been well enough to go for my favorite summer vegetables and POO has gotten melon happy. I get most of the watermelon because that is his least favorite. He really likes the honeydew and it is my least favorite. We both go for cantaloupe.

Now POO is a dog and he likes meat. There's not much of that during the summer months. I'm a Seasonal eater. I eat fresh, uncooked vegetables and and make pasta dishes during the warm months. I drink a lot of milk and eat as much cheese as I can afford. POO loves cheese anytime.

Cold weather is meat soups and stews with grains and potatoes. During the winter I will eat grapefruit and drink a variety of juices. I eat cooked greens in the winter.


I don't care much for bread. POO thinks half a slice of bread is a big treat as he wants to eat people food and I'm stingy with food except for his green beans. He doesn't like potato chips but mooches me out of half a bag of corn chips and hides them until after I've finished my food. Then he eats his.

Got the Car started and a new battery. Now I need to have the brakes checked.


That's it for now...off to the kitchen.
