We have an 03 focus zx3. I like my escort better. But I haven't driven any other ones either to compare it to. There are a lot of focus around also

Are you sure it isn't Monday?

I decided this afternoon that I should go over to our 2nd Datacenter and fix two cables.

That turned into:
Haul 3 servers over to 2nd datacenter and carry them downstairs one by one (about 50 lbs each)
Fix 2 cables
Swap 1 server
Decomission 2 servers
Haul 4 servers back to the main datacenter (hauled them upstairs one by one)

In the process, I shut down the wrong 2 servers (they were mislabeled) and unplugged 1 server that was a dependency for about 6-8 other servers.

I'm leaving. After supper, I'm going out to work on the truck. Let's see if I can at least be successful in getting it started.
