My bonus update

Got my bonus Friday morning and it was pretty much spot on for how much I thought I would be getting. 1,535.67$! I went on new egg and picked up This Dell laptop. I was able to get a 15% discount through work and snagged it for 748$. I should be getting it on Monday or Tuesday next week. :yay:

On another note it was so windy where I live on Friday. We had gusts up to 50 mph. I had woke up and let my dogs go out and there were shingles laying all over my yard, about 15-20 total. I looked up and there were none missing off my back roof so I went out front and saw that that's where they had come from. I guess I know where some of the remainder of my bonus is going. :angry2:

Darn and here I was going to recommend a MicroSD for me.

Yeah, it's strange that winds are picking up this late in the month. Especially here. We never get this kind of wind or chill, and it's supposed to be around 70 for wind, and -18c tonight for the temp. It's insane.

Don't know where you live, but here, usually we get nothing but rain for Winter and Spring, so it's weird, we're not used to it. We picked up some windows off of craigslist for $400, designer windows for our Cabin. They're heavy as shit, the wind blew knocked them down like it was nothing. And we had them tied to our porch, so it's weird.

Lol, I would... I mean I'm normally a generous guy when I want to be.

Yeah this wind is crazy, it's since died down but Earlier today it was howling like a banshee.

I normally like winter but so far this one has caused the roof on my addition to leak and now it's torn the roof on the front of my house the fuck up. I'm ready for spring so I can start to make repairs before my fucken house falls in on me.
 
Hope the computer doesn't let you down. :3 Winds... :O lol Sounds like Wyoming xD

Oh, my current 11 year old desktop is a Dell and my frankenstien desktop is mostly stolen liberated Dell parts and both have been running well since the day they were bought and liberated. I've had good luck with Dell.

Well the positive is, at least it happened now, and not in december or anything like that. Now you just have the winds and cold weather to battle against, and not rain and snow and cold weather and shit. Though, obviously it would have been better if it didn't happen at all.

Cool ^^ I just must not have the Dell Touch xD
 
Yeah for the most part the snow should not be around much longer. I do remember tho that it has snowed in the month of May about 7-8 years ago here in Pennsylvania. Tho it only stuck around for a day at most. I remember my dad telling me one time when he was a kid it snowed in June. Now that's some crazy shit.
 
I think the latest we've had it snow here, was April. And that's rare because of where we live, it hardly snows, and I don't mean a little, i mean it's rare that it snows at all.
 
The wind here is crazy too....Almost got owned by a tree that got ripped out of the ground while I was walking by it......that and the wind almost ripped off my car door...stupid wind....

Oh...and HELL YEA Who doesn't love money

It was windy as hell last weekend too. We were out at the store and my son opened the car door and the wind took it and knocked his little ass down to the ground. He didn't get hurt and he kinda thought it was funny.
 
It's weird, I don't remember the weather being this bad last year.

It's ridiculously cold. We had to have the fire lit (we have a wood stove) all night last night, and all day today.

Wish I had a wood stove. I miss the fireplace we had in my parents house growing up.
 
They save a lot of money, they just require a lot of work. Like installing it correctly so it's legal and safe, getting firewood. We go into the woods and cut down trees and get our own, chop it and stack it ourselves and everything. The only bad thing is it takes a while to heat up the place.
