Grumble. Computer crashed last Monday. Paid geek squad $200. They call me Saturday and tell me I was right, it was a hard drive failure again, though the thing still spins this time. Brought them the restore disks Sunday and now it still isn't fixed. It is having problems loading service pack 2. The $200 does cover hardware and software installation but not the drive. But it is better than $1000 for a new computer and having to deal with windows 8.

While i was at best buy I did get a nice stereo system for my apartment another $150.

Today I found out that the cause of the misfire in the 911 was the mfi pump which appears will need a $2500 refresh. Might as well do the throttle bodies while the car is out of action, since they really need it. Probably another $1000-$1500 there I would guess.

That's all for now. This nexus thing is OK for checking email but the screen is tiny and the touch screen and lack of keyboard is rather irritating after a while.
