I got the prop for

I got the prop for my plane last night. It is the folding variety so it should not break so easily. I installed it last night and then took it out before work today to try it. Yuk, it was all over the place, went into a tree and broke a bit off the aileron. Determined, I retrieved it and launched some more. I finally got it up but it was a mess in the air. I definitely have some adjusting to do this weekend.

I worked on my DVD burner issue again last night. I tried reinstalling the apps, going through the registry all to no avail. I was able to burn a dvd using Nero however. Very odd. I gave up. Then this morning I remembered the neato feature of Windows XP, system restore! XP automatically saves checkpoints at various times that allows you to roll back your configuration to that checkpoint. I picked a date back in December, let it run the sys restore and BAM, it all worked again! VERY COOL. One of those features you don’t appreciate until you need to use it.

We have a long weekend this weekend. However, Alison has to work Saturday and I have work to do some work in Sarasota on Monday. My plans this weekend include cleaning, working the bugs out of my plane, hitting my new golf clubs and getting some good xbox time in.

Sunday is the NFC championship! We will be glued to the set. I can only hope the Eagles will play as well as they are capable of playing. It is going to be a tough game.

Coldest weather of the year is supposed to blow in this weekend. Lows in the 30’s overnight and high only in the upper 50’s. Very chilly by south Florida standards. It could be worse, Tim said it was 9 up in PA the other morning.
