I was able to get the Coastal computer sanitation take of.  The two drives in the old XPS were defiantly dead.  I hate to see data lost.  it translates in to such a large waste of resources.  I also was able to finish the the New Alienware 12 core, 6GB Aurora.  I shipped the XPS back to dell and the user is coming to get the Alien tomorrow.  I know i refrain from talking about work but this was a real sweet computer.  I specked out the one I would purchase and it came up to $8300.

Something was also in the pond last night.  the lilies were a mess this morning, the small pump was moved and the lucky bamboo was knocked over.   So I fixed that and cleaned out some of the debris on the bottom.   I needed to clean the main pump so that should give me a day count.  I think it was more than 2 or 3 this time.  I was calculating a truck from budget and the power went out about 6:30 PM.   It only flickered but it still bounced.   Susan came home about 7:30 PM due to allergies and being tired.  Also the dog appears to be doing much better so I will allow her out of her room tonight.
