http://automan66.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-new-ride.html
I picked this up last week, a 2007 Yamaha XVS1100 V Star 1100 Midnight Custom. 9,000 miles on it, and in perfect condition. The bike already has a hyper charger, Cobra custom exhaust, and has bee n jetted. What a NICE. I've alread y had it out for a ride (Bringing it home) only 9 miles, I tell ya, it was 32 an d windy out, but I enjoyed the ride home! I can't wait to get this out on a really nice day and go for a LONG ride! Weight update: I'm staying steady at 207, 56 pounds less than my previous.

Once again it has been a long time since I've posted. No projects lately, a combination of nothing coming my way, and a LOT of overtime at work. Some time ago, I had an Acer AOA150, it came back to me a couple of months ago! Good old Junior (Its name.yes, it has a name! I posted on what I had done to it some time ago (320Gb, 7,200 HD, maxed out the ram, blah, blah, blah. Back to the Acer website to download the current BIOS! I ran the Flashget program, and VIOLA! It is once again charging the battery.

Wight loss, job change, relaxing! That's all I can say! Since April a LOT has changed. Where to start? Weight loss. I have lost a total of 57 pounds since February, not much in the last 6 weeks or so, but BOY di I feel better! I am no longer with the heating and cooling company, while they treated me very well, they pay was poor. I received a call from another company in June asking me to interview with them, I did, and was HIRED! I am back to being a quality Supervisor, as well as a Production Supervisor.

New battery for the Stratus. So, I went camping this weekend, and wouldn't you know it! One of the hottest days of the year and the 8 year old battery in the Stratus decides it no longer wants to work. I got it jump started and drove it to Bumper-to-Bumper and picked up another one. $80 later and the Stratus coupe is up and running like a champ. It's been a couple of expensive weeks, with the fuel pump in the Bravada going out. I did however save myself a CONSIDERABLE amount of money by doing the work.

I can man: Acer AO756-2840
http://automan66.blogspot.com/2013/03/acer-ao756-2840.html
I picked this up yesterday, it's an Acer AO756-2840 . It comes with an Intel Celeron 847, and 2Gb of DDR3 10600 ram. As it turns out I was quite wrong about being able to upgrade the processor, it is indeed soldered directly to the mother board.ARG! Too bad. I will be upgrading the ram and hard drive yet, anything to boost the performance of this very nice net-book. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Link to other Blogs. Awesome Inc. template.

I received another notebook to work on today, it is a Dell Latitude E6400. It is in need of a new hard drive, the old one id completely non-functional. For now, a 250Gb. drive will be installed, along with a 2Gb. upgrade for the memory. So far the installation has been a PAIN! Even though the updates are not complete, it is obvious that this is a very nice notebook. It's fast already, can't wait to play with it when optimized! Three time I updated to a certain point, then it would flash the BSOD! You MUS...

I recently picked up a Galaxy Tab 2, no real time to mess with it, work has kept me quite busy. I'm hoping Samsung releases the Jelly Bean update SOON! I'd like to root it and see just what I can make this thing do! So, it will be the little Acer D257 that I use to sync. Time to head off once again! PS 58 pounds lost so far! Not much lost lately, seems to come in spurts now? Gone from 40" tight to 34" comfortable! Workin, wieght loss, and keeping busy! Death of a Dell E6400. For whatever reason my Dell E...

I am still kicking, but back to work! I'm working in industrial heating and cooling on the construction side right now. It is quite physical, in 7 weeks I have lost 32 pounds! I feel MUCH better, but have a long way to go. Generally I post about projects that come my way, and I will continue to do that. I have two laptops that I received recently that I have played with a bit, a Compaq ZV6000, and a Sony Vaio PCG-9211. 17 inch display (Too bad it is broken right now! Never had a hit that high before?

Bravada rear axle problems. I noticed a humming in the Bravada the other day, it sounded like a low tire, NOT! I was on the way to another town, about 12 mile out, the rear axle went out on me. The axle cover seal went bad and let all the axle grease leak out, so now I need to replace the whole axle.$350 for used, or $500 for a rebuilt unit. either way, I will need to be working before I can replace it. For now, it must set. Have a great one all! Acer D255E, D257 memory upgrades and broken screen. The li...
