Well, things changed

The Bruins did not lose last night...

They got their ass kicked.

They got beaten into the ice.

They got stomped on, dragged into the locker room and left for dead.

The Jets beat the Bruins 8-1 and the only reason it wasn't 8-0 is because Pastrnak got lucky on a power play and slipped one past the Jet's goalie.

So as I alluded to yesterday, the standings have changed:

Their next game is tomorrow night against the Kraken. Puck drops at 10:00 so I won't be watching any of that game.


The police, by definition, are "law enforcement". They are not security guards. Their job is not to watch over you and protect you from loss or harm. If you need someone to watch over you and your property, hire a security firm.

If I read any stories about police departments being used to protect multi-million dollar executives, I'm going to be pissed.


Today was "Build the new WOPR" day and I can say with all honesty, it went well.

When I left Pat, the new PC was up and running and he was figuring out what OS he was going to load.

It is a beast of a machine and Pat should get a lot of years out of it.

Here are some pics of the build:
CPU, RAM and SSD installed in motherboard. Mother board installed in case.


Cooling tower and fans installed onto CPU. Power supply installed in case.


Graphics card installed and front panel wired into motherboard.


Power applied to motherboard. No smoke!


First light. Everything is recognized and functional.


Oh, and for the record, the computer did not say, "Greetings, Professor Falken" when we first booted it up but if it had, that would have been very cool.
