Well long time no ramble so let the ramble be free.
On the weather. Friday night was a peaceful night like any other in our home. We were all comfortable around the dinner table after just finishing a splendid meal when all of a sudden. KABOOOOOM!!!!!! FLASH, POP!!!!! SIZZLE.... The biggest bolt of lightning hits the house and I hear a distinct frying noise emanating from my room and I know that my PC has been turned to mush. Rewind... The weather has been dull and grey for the entire week with a light and sometimes heavy drizzle rejuvenating the parched earth. Not a rumble of thunder nor the tail end of a lightning bolt has been heard of nor seen from the beginning and none are expected in this fog like cloud cover. Yet on this fateful evening, it decides to suddenly let all hell break loose and destroy half the unsuspecting electronics in the house.
Herewith follows an inventory of what got singed.
My R1800 Gigabyte motherboard (Completely dead)
My dads Office computer Motherboard (Even though it was switched off)
My dads personal PC's network card (Also speeding up the process of his oldish IDE hard drive failing)
My sisters PC's network card
Not a single resistor on my brother or mothers PC's was harmed
None of the other electrical appliances were touched.
And here is the solution to the problem.
My dads MOBO was replaced
My MOBO was also replaced (Free of charge)
Sister has new network card.
All is happy and good. (Considering it was the weekend that all this happened over!)
And now onto lighter things than the weather. The blacksmithng is going well but I have landed a project that weighs a ton. More detail can be seen on my other blog.
Now I am off to write a 300 word essay on extraordinary moments. And for me this will be really difficult to stick to 300 as I am overly verbose.
Once again Thank you all for reading my blog!
That was supposed to be yesterdays post but seeing as I did not post it yesterday it shall become part of todays.
Well today was very nice, got to UNISA reactivated my student card and then went to Acorn Fastners and got myself 4kg of spring washers, then off to Alert Steel for some 16x16 mm square bar for some tools and then home to start on some chainmaille and also to charge my car battery by driving around my area on all the back roads so as to avoid getting a fine and finding some very interesting places.
Along the way I decided that I would change my car oil today and so I have, only just finished a few minutes ago and all in all, it was not as difficult as I expected.
And a second time.
Thank you all for reading my blogs!
