2008 Presidential Election
Just in case there is any question: No, I am not a Republican. Usually I think they are the worst of the bad choice we normally get, the Democrats not being much better. (I'm a registered Libertarian.) However, Ron Paul is one of those guys you vote for because of what he stands for, not because of who his party is. (I'd vote for Schwarzenegger, too.)
Basically I agree with Ron Paul's stance on everything. There are some small nit-picky things I do not agree with, but by and large he stands for everything I could want in a presidential candidate: Less taxes, less government interference in our lives, more freedom, and an end to war.
Family Weddings
Funny how nobody in my family gets married for like thirty-some odd years, and now everyone is getting married.
Of course, it now sounds like my brother and my cousin are both getting married next Labor Day weekend. Guess whose wedding I will be attending if they are? I'll give you a hint: Not my brother's.

The downstairs bathroom
Still working on this, albeit pretty slowly now. I've painted the threshold, some molding that was attached to the old, crap threshold, the wood frame around the mirror, and a good deal of my workbench downstairs. Hey, what are workbenches for if not saving your floor from the same mistreatment?
The sink is all hooked up, bolted to the wall, and working nicely. It leaked at first, but then I figured out that you can't be stingy with the plumbers tape.
The floor is mostly done, thanks to my wife. She did the difficult pieces that had to be cut in weird shapes. She's pretty much waiting for me to clear the plaster from the entryway and put down the threshold so she can finish.
Also, the paint doesn't smell too bad, so I might just paint all the woodwork this winter, so by summer all I will have to do is replace the walls. (And I say all because I am - as usual - clueless about how much work it will actually entail...)

Vista 64 and 4GB of RAM - Part Two
My new motherboard - Asus's excellent Crosshair - came in today. I hooked it up, wiped my hard drive, and installed Vista 64. Then I plopped in my new sticks of RAM, and it booted flawlessly. I'm now gaming in 64-bit with 4GB of RAM. Yay!
Seems like it was entirely the MSI motherboard that was keeping my from using the extra 2 sticks of RAM. That's OK, though. MSI wiped themselves off my hardware approval list, and Asus is back on. (Had some issues almost a decade ago with their motherboards and cards.)
