Mark - that's a killer laptop you have spec'd out!!! It may sound odd, but I prefer the 15" (15.4" widescreen) size better than the 17's - I lug mine around quite often & it's more a tool for me, given the work that I do. Still... mmmmmm.... 17 inches.... wait, what?





BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Good morning. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Our auto saga continued last night. My wife is using her daughters car while she is out of town for a few days while Lynns is out of commission. We went to a friends to watch the Vikings game and his daughters boyfriend backed into the car. Busted out the grill, part of the bumber and dented the hood.

This has not been Lynns week.

At least that one's just cosmetic and hasn't sidelined the car. Plus you're not responsible for the repair bill on that one!!

Trying to decide if I wanna spend the time and effort to put chains on today, or just stay inside and make another pot of coffee.

Howdy Doc. I vote coffee also.

Thanks for the offer Lisa. Yeah, her daughter has not grown up enough to value family like she should. Her friends on the other hand can do no wrong.

Morning all, just hanging out at the Nissan stealership having the oil changed and tires rotated on the wifey's mini van. One of those "free oil changes for life" that isn't really free.
