so basically this means that I can tell my writing teacher to **** off hahaha. Just kidding....pretty amazing!
 
After I got into the rythm, I was suprised at how quickly I was able to read that. WEIRD!

Wehre's my baot ahcnor? :costumed-smiley-047
 
No, really you don't....ok, actually, I don't want anyone to know.


It's pretty embarrasing actually... TC was talking about buying a new PC and we all say, build one, build one, it's easier and cheaper. Then I foolishly said, hey I work just an hour from where you live (before he moved down south) I can come help you put it together. I've put computers together most of my life with little to no problem.

Anyway, after all the pieces got there, I got to his house and proceeded to install all the parts. We then powered it on and got NOTHING!!! Absolutely nothing. Of course, I didn't bring any other parts I could use to troubleshoot and I was never able to hook up with him again before he moved to So. Cal.

Well, he came up for a little vacation a while back and brought it with him. I picked it up with the intention of fixing it and giving it to him to take back. I didn't get it together in time and told him I'd ship it down once it was working.

Well, then I was in the heat of HeroFest pre-production, production and now post-production and I haven't even cracked the case again.

So, anyway, we refer to his new fangled, fancy computer as a boat anchor. It's been a few months, so it's actually out dated now anyway :grin:

Just a few more days TC, then I will have the contest version of HeroFest wrapped up and PROMISE I will get back on that computer with a vengeance!!! (Anyone in the Nor. Cal. area wanna' help? :grin: )

So there it is, now you all know my deep, dark, embarrasing secret of how I let down TC, the resident agitator. But I can at least confirm that those who think TC stands for Tom Cruise........... you're RIGHT!!! (j.k)

Peace,
Larry
 
I'd say the fact that he was able to decode "baot ahcnor" is proof of the theory!

It's all good Larry, I know how a project can totally consume your free time.

That plus the fact that you mention boat anchor in every post that is anywhere near a post with my name on it! :grin:

It doesn't help that I'm also working a full time job and commuting 4 hours a day (2 hours each way) to do it.
 
Yeesh, I don't miss commuting. When I lived up there it took 45 minutes to drive to school. Now I live across the street.
