LABOR DAY

What's on my grill on this Labor Day is a NEW grill. Went out to fire up ol' Bessy and a HUGE ball of orange flame comes out. :0 Me thinkest this is not a good thing...

So me and the missus pack up the SUV and head on down to look at the end of the year grill specials. After about 2 hours of shopping, we settle on a nice new stainless steel Kenmore grill on clearance (ahhh, Sears - ya gotta love it - came through for me in a pinch...)

Off for a quick trip to the market for some grilling material (brats, steaks and chicken), along with the customary alcoholic beverages, and home we go to build us a new grill, and get ready for the party... Still plenty of time to beat the sundown - and I actually had it planned to eat right before dusk, fire up the Tiki torches in the back, and smoke cigars and drink Daquiri's as the sun went down...

So I'm in my driveway - pieces of this monsterous new grill all over the place - instuctions laid out - hardware all sorted - and the call comes in... Gotta run to work because some moron decided to solicit a 16 yr old prostitute on the Internet, and she shows up at one of our office buildings and the cops caught her. So I quick build the grill (got it done in about 30 minutes), quick push it in the back yard (gouged up the back of my car when it slid out of control) and off I go to work...

So here I sit - 10:30 at night just finishing up at the office - no cigar, no steaks, no daquiri's... :(

but don't feel sorry for me, my brothers - there's always tomorrow... ;)

I feel you brother!! I have had this server blow up 4 times now. It would seem that not only one, but two hard drives have completely failed and I will be building this server again. It wouldn't be soo bad if it would keep blowing up after I finished configuring the OS, the iSCSI drives, the CLuster, the tape drives, the backups ... I get almost all the way done and POOF. WTF. ...

Hope you get out of there soon. The Tech I have been working w/ just got his ear chewed by his significant other, so he is heading home to cool down the read headed fires. I on the other hand will be babying this piece of silver trash. ???


Happy Hollidays! I do hope you get home soon. I will probably give this another couple hours or so and then call it quits. You can only do so much. And I have this Gurka calling my name.... I keep hear it coaxing in the distance. Soon my sweet we will be united. :p

Cheers,
