20 bucks anyone? Anyone? I'm headed to Vegas and I need extra gambling money! :laughing:
haha thing is I will have to fill it with gas so I can put it up for the winter. Which means it will sit for a week ish till it stops snowing lol.

Gonna put Stabil in that tank as well?

It's funny how a few days ago it was 65 degrees F in NYC and now it's 27 with some freezing snow/rain mix and wind chills. Of course if the precipitation stops I can ride again in the next 2 -3 days.

We got another 6 inches of snow here, so I spent the day shoveling and trying to teach my new puppy to behave.

She's a bit of a handful, but cute. :D

Took the truck to a muffler shop and had a pipe repaired. (Helps to know folks) Went to a computer store and bought a new video card. Installed and configured the video card and tested it with MOH Spearhead, (love it, around 95fps now on crowded screens) BF2 demo, (much smoother) and HL2 (almost there, it still drops below 30fps when the screen starts getting populated). Next I took a nap. My daughter and my niece dropped off their girls about 7 and I just took some brownies out of the oven.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I just bought a new video card a couple of days ago so I could play BF2142.

I picked up a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 260 Core 216 after my 8800GT blew a cap. I can play any game out now and GTA IV is sucking up my free time. The ATI 4870 supposedly runs faster but uses more power...




Just got back from Times Square, lots of pretty women around, got me thinking on how my life is heading the way of Holden Cauffield from Catcher in the Rye (oddly my high school experience mirrors his let's see if I end up in an institution like he did).

The cheapest one the computer store had that would play my game. The Geforce 6200. Coming from an ATI Radeon 9000 pro.

Wow I'm such a computer geek, I thought when people upgraded their cards to play games I think GeForce 8 and higher all running on a PCIe bus. I didn't think that card still existed in the market with the GeForce 7300 and 8200 all flooding the sub $80 market along with AGP based systems nearly phased out.

I buy cards that won't require upgrading for 3 of years or more, depending on what I can afford at the moment (mostly in the $180 - 220 range). I don't own any consoles since I game on the PC more, just in case anybody wonders why I spend a bit on video cards.
