Appliance Hell

Well, I definitely “Jinxed” myself…
When I got up yesterday morning, my computer would not connect to the internet. After testing the modem, cable, etc.; I determined the ethernet card (NIC) had stopped working. Not that big a deal to replace it, as I always seem to have “spare parts” laying around here. Moreover, it gave me a chance to blow the dust out of my desktop computer.

Then I jumped into my old work truck (to run some errands) turned the key and… nothing. After some quick diagnosis, I determined the starter had bit the dust. Replacing the starter took quite a bit longer than the NIC card in the computer.

OK… That’s two problems fixed, bring on number 3… I’m ready!!
