Computer Project

We haven't ridden our bikes in a week; busy days and fewer daylight hours, along with inherent laziness, has kept us out of shape. However, not all free time was wasted as we have been getting other projects taken care of.

One such project was to build a computer. Between our various upgrades over the past couple of years, and especially since Brian replaced the motherboard in his desktop, we had a whole mess of computer parts cluttering up the floor and closet. All we needed for another full pc was a hard-drive. Brian bought a 500 GB drive, and then we spent our Friday evening building the pc from the ground up.

It was remarkably un-complicated, we had everything we needed, including a decent mouse and an unattractive keyboard. We even had a spare card-reader from a few years ago that for some reason was not compatible with my desktop.

We've named the new PC Frankenstein.
