I'll just keep it short:

Under contract to buy a new house (keep fingers crossed) :)

Purchased a slotachine for restoration

Picked up a bunch of new arcade supplies, boards, etc

I'm officially a Skyrim addict. And the addiction is BAD! Lmao! Anyone else hooked and want to talk about this game just let me know! My wife says my inner nerd is really starting to show! Hahaha! 

The new job is going great!!!

And I get free lunch today. :) woot!

 So I scored a major deal this week:

Gears of War 320Gb xbox360 (with box and receipt)

Gears controller and one black controller

Gears of war 3, Gun, Saboteur, Red Dead Redemption, RDR Undead Nightmare, Call of Duty (something)

All for $230!!!!

Guy needed the money. So should I feel lucky as hell or bad for a fellow gamer who had to sell his shit?

Also, I have a bit of a rant. I recently purchased the Turtle Beach DPX51 (i think, 5.1 chorded headset) anyway, the only complaints i have about them is that the earmuffs bleed ink onto my head and around my ears! I have a shaved head so you can only imagine what this looks like! Do you remeber the classic movie Police Academy when they put the shoe pilish on the megaphone? Yep, that's what it looks like around my ears. XD Anyway, has anyone else had this happen? I'm thinking of calling the customer hotline.

So after only 2 years working at my current position it's time to move on! There just isn't any sort of way for me to advance and further my career so I decided to start looking around a couple of months ago. After landing the new job as an Automation Engineer at a local animal health company, I submitted my 2 weeks, took a week off, and now the time is finally here. For the next 3 days I will be in orientation (woohoo) and then I'm sure my life will be full of S.O.P's, rules & regulations, etc.. This is a brand new environment for me so I'm a little nervous (as expected). I've done Automation & Controls Engineering in  the automotive industry as well as the food & ethanol production industries but, this is a whole new ball of wax again. I'm extremely excited because of the leap in $$$, benefits, and I'm also getting a signing bonus! I feel like I should be showing up tomorrow in a athletic jersey tomorrow! LOL! But, I'm also very nervous. New people, new expectations, etc....Hopefully I can find some gamer pals and make the transition a little easier!

Wish me luck!

The entire day went by faster than the last few hours! I'M READY TO PLAY!!!!! Debating on what time to leave and go stand in line. I'm thinking around 830 or 9 should be good. I have the PSP all charged up and ready to go. Gotta have something to do to pass the time! LOL! see you online MOFOS!

suddenLink! more like suddenl-y my internet has gone to shit! Does anyone else have to deal with this crap? We did have a cable provider that was working ok. It provided 16Mbs down and 3 up w/ 19s ping service for around $65 a month. Then it went ot suddenLink and now my service has GONE TO SHIT! I'm getting HALF the service I was getting along with a 102ms ping! AND I'M STILL PAYING THE SAME FUCKING PRICE! AND DO YOU THINK ANYONE WOULD ANSWER A MOTHERFUCKING PHONE?!?!?! OR ANSWER A LIVE MOTHERFUCKING CHAT?!?!? NO! Before, all you had to do was call the local cable company and BOOM problem was fixed. Now, every time I have tried to call throughout the week I have been on hold for over 30 minutes each time before I decide to give up. I have also tried the live chat feature for about 15-20 min during that time EACH time and have NEVER got a single fucking bit of customer service! and unfortunately, i think they are the only sad pieces of shit we can get for residential high speed ISP. 

Heading out to the At&t store to see if they provide that U-verse shit around here. I don't see why the fuck not. I don't live in the fucking sticks.

I fixed -7- consoles last weekend and I still have as many waiting to be done. I'm getting hit up almost daily for repair services. i had to order some more supplies from China just so i don't run out!

I need a counter like McD's: Over 1,000,000 fixed LOL! 

ugh....just spent some duckets on:

Aoyue 968 reflow workstation

xbox360 bga kit

41*41 nozzle

39*39 nozzle

28*28 nozzle

This is going to be fun! I have about a dozen or so xbox 360's that need fixed. No, I haven't ruined that many of them. I picked them up here and there for about $35 bucks each all of them had the RROD. Some of them only needed cleaned! LOL! Like the Halo 3 edition that I have been using.  Out of the 15 or so that I've purchased originally over the past year i have about 7 units that are still being stubborn. The other units have been given to me or belong to friends that need fixing. So, I figured i might try my hands at a more permanent solution to the RROD. I've watched several videos and have been reading up on this quite a bit and it seems pretty simple. I have a couple of practice boards to play with before I dig into the consoles so that will give me at least a couple of practice trys. If it works out, and i'm confident it will, I'll have some units I can sell AND from what I can see on eBay the older units that can be j-.......let's just say altered, seem to go for a decent amount of money.

Keep your fingers crossed! The equipment should show up this week! :D woot!
