Thanks for the congrats. It's taken me years to keep cool under pressure. I knew it was all gonna be ok.

Never let em see you sweat.

Man if we lost power to the datacenter I would be a crying little b!tch in a corner somewhere in the fetal position lol. Good job getting all the services up and running again.
When I was in school one of our teachers told the tale of the "new hire that hit the BIG red button in a data center..." yeah ours is marked Armageddon ONLY lol

Does anyone know what would cause a heavy vibration when breaking? The 350 had new rotor and pads put on a free months ago and this issue has been present since. The hubby doesn't get things done so I'm taking it upon myself to get it fixed.

They were new back at the end of May. I haven't done anything since the install. They didn't even prep the rotors properly, they are covered in rust.

Hmm, sounds like they're warped.

How's Tracie doing otherwise?

Servers stayed up on 20kva ups.

Understand this tho: our most important servers are in Kansas. We access them via Citrix.

I remember one particularly hot summer's day I spent an hour tending to the front yard (the back takes equally as long), then came inside to tell my wife that was it for me. I said I'd rather chew my arm off than mow the yard again.

Haha! It was so stinkin' hot and humid today that I had to take a shower after I mowed... which was before I ran.

I hear that! I touched up the yard where the woods was creeping in on my sprinklers lol Had to cut back about 2 ft of growth. I was so itchy afterwards I had to take a shower. I smelled like dog poo that has been baking in 100*F sun all day lol.

Heck yeah. Our last guy was $75 a month...He was great but for half the price I could hire a another person's company that has been very good about showing up on time and cutting the crap when I want it lol Do they have the occasional brain dead person, yeah, but they dont last too long lol.
