PC stretch

Firestorm Power Tools
Originally uploaded by SG-Spin

.So, I have come to an interesting new delima. I seam less able to keep my PC up to par in performance. This has realy happened for good and bad reasons. The bad: There just isn't anything to play on the PC these days. The Good: Other, more physical hobies, like motorcycles, bikes, and a certain special lady have taken more of my time/money.

So, in this realization I have tried to stretch my PCs usefull life. Step 1, add DVD burner. Step 2, add USB 2.0 card. Now combine those with the new Video camera my Dad just bought and I have now added video editing to the uses for my computer. It can still just barley pull off any game and with the addition of these new media and interfaces I can use all the new toys with it.

Picked up some new power tools today. Its a pretty sweet 4 piece 18v Black and Decker set. Came with a circular saw, drill, sander, reciprocating saw, 2 batteries and charger. Then lucky for me, they happened to have a promotional box that added another battery and a stud finder (always lights up when I hold it for some reason). Then when we payed for it we got 2 rebates. One for another free battery, and a second for a free 18v tool. So, for $191 after taxes I will eventualy end up with 5 tools (6 with the stud finder), 4 batteries, and a double battery charger.
