Sounds familiar, I'm getting arthroscopic surgery on my left knee on 5/28. Mine is somewhat lumpy and swollen and hurts a little. The more I use it, the more it hurts. I have a torn cartalidge with some pieces floating around in the joint.

Good afternoon all. Just got back from NJ. Retrieved the driveway sander. It's a little rough, but I can make something out of it. Some TLC and it should be working for me this winter.
Took the F350 down there. Started at 0530 and ended at 1530 at home. The tolls were enough to choke a horse, especially with dual wheels.
The roads around NYC and Northern NJ are the bumpiests I have ever traveled on. I've seen smoother roads in the Great Northern Woods in Maine.

On the subject of onerous tolls.
To date I have been paying cash when I go through the tools.
Once I get my vanity plates, I intend to get the Massachusetts' FastLane.
For the Mass FastLane treats my van like a car and I am only subject to passenger car tolls. Such as West of Springfield the Mass Pike is free.
Whereas the New York EZPass treats me as over height (recall seeing a horizontal pole that sticks out the side of their tool booths) and due to that I'm charged twice the car rate anywhere in New York.
There are several states with the electronic tolls that have a reciprocity agreement.

Rich. I got an E-Z Pass last year and I put my wife's van and my truck on it. When I called, I asked 2 or 3 times and they said there was no extra charge for my dually. We don't go down to that way that often, but for the once, maybe twice a year that we do, it makes things so much quicker and easier. There is a small annual fee ($3) to have it, but imo it's well worth it - who knows we may even be using it for CT soon

Never heard of them...
I don't think who makes a case is all that important.. They are pretty much the same no matter who you buy from.. The important stuff is what you put into it..

Sean thinks the Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme motherboard I have on order will live a short life. 
I have seen them go bad and I refuse to build a machine with that brand

I just wonder if the owners are pushing their boards over the edge?
I intend to at least water cool mine, and not go insane with over-clocking the CPU.

I built a computer with that saem Board for the Airport Director a couple months ago and the board went bad 2 weeks into it..
I ended up putting in a Nforce 680i and what a big difference ..
He is now Happy..
I really do not think having it water cooled is going to take care of there poor craftsmenship...
