Been a while since the last update, and got 2 days off of work, so got some Steve things done instead of work things..

Upgraded to CS 1.1.. process wasn't that hard.. photo gallery works again, but I need to make a skin for it.. will probably do that tomorrow and possibly upgrade FastRides as well..

DMV - took an hour to sit around, wait for the automated teller voice thing to call out my number and then 5 minutes to change over my tags, title my new car and order different plates for the Bird... now I can actually race it - only 2 race nights left at RD, so hopefully I'll have my wastegate issue worked out and won't blow it up first night on the strip..

My huge puffer, whom I named "Ole Blue Eyes" in honor of Mr. Sinatra, passed last week - not sure why.. wasn't eating right, didn't have lockjaw though, which I hear is common in puffers lately.. guess it was just his time to go.  I'll put up some pics of when he was younger in a few days.. speaking of fish tanks, I've not had much luck lately, mainly due to being at work way too much, so only have 3 fish left.. a female Clarkii Clown and a blue and yellow Lighting wrasse in my reef tank (which no longer has any live coral in it), and my fimbriated leopard eel (who shared the 110 gallon tank with Ole Blue Eyes).. ordered a moonlight and new sump motor for the reef tank - still hasn't shown up yet and it's been over a month.. most of the time eBay is worth it, but I'm ready to cancel the order on this vendor if I don't get it by end of week.

Let's see, what else.. time is freeing up again, as mentioned before - been working way too much.. worked 2 months of overtime in the past 3 months - all of which except for about 40 hours was against the project I mentioned a while back.  Be glad when it's done - be nice to move on to the next project.  May actually get to hang out and actually have time to go out on the prowl again.. have a couple of people in mind whom I haven't talked to in a while that I'd like to catch up with.. left a situation or two not exactly the way I'd like and need to clean things up.. anyhow, drop me a line if you want to beat me to the punch...

Oh, almost forgot.. vegas trip for my birthday end of March '06.. getting a group together, should be a blast.. contact me for details
