Hmmm, Salem to Essex is overall a down hill run, so the 1200 pounds should have helped keep you rolling. now if you had to ride the brakes well.l.l.l.l
Now the empty ride back up to Salem should be easy on the MPG's too.
For the 64$ I suspect you broke even.

Good afternoon Dave! 
(and the rest of you miscreants lurking in the CT B/S thread)
Dave,
What are you doing Thursday?
I ask because I'll be doing my Stamford run. New tires & alignment, Post Office, Booty, etc....

Hello Jim & Greg.
Just another boring day at work.
Had to send my water-block for the CPU back to the manufacturer for them to examine.
One of the nipples would not thread by hand into either of the ports in the block.
Cost me shipping but not time, as I have yet to order the rest of the components to finish assembling the computer.

I'm reading through a forum for the motherboard I bought, really gets depressing.
I'm only comforted by the reality that those who post are the few with problems, and not the multitude that had everything go right.
At least I'll be aware should I have any stumbles with my motherboard when I power it up for the first time.

It was ok. Cleaned out my locker today. Half days tomorrow and Thusday and then I'm done til next September.
Then we can do something productive! Like work!
So I'm gonna be making 12.50/hr working this summer. I happen to know the teachers make less per hour than that if you do out the math. In that case shouldn't I be teaching them?

Other guy running the screen: burns through a hydraulic motor, breaks some hydraulic hoses, fills up the belt under the drum so that it can't move, stalls out the drum motors and then I have to shovel the drum out because he had a screwed up back.
I ran it for 2 weeks straight last summer running 50+ hours a week and only had one hyd motor break and it's the weak link on the machine. Dad had the same problem. And now I know to look for it.
