    Its the computer hardware. There is approximately in 2015 dollars about 7000 dollars worth of computer under this table. Or it was once. Its devalued now since then. If I have to replace it it's going to be pricey. Since I do not have a wife barking up my leg about it anymore then there is no problem. I usually purchase parts on newegg during holiday sales. Not this month but maybe next year. It cuts down on the pricing and increases the ability to buy a boat load of parts to build a machine.

    I am not a wow player, I can only imagine the endless world they have created for those who do play it. And the wife would feel put out. Hes got a storm coming. Been there done that.

    Thankfully my wife encourages it. It is how we make ends meet. $15 a month for entertainment and electricity is cheaper than me wandering around in a plow truck at 10 mpg. Tho granted if I get work I am out doing it. Also I only spend about 5 hours a day online. It does get boring and theer are other things in life that I can do. Washing dishes, scaring the cats with the vacuum cleaner, washing the windows, doing laundry, plowing if it snows, cooking and so on.

    Makes me wonder if he is exhibiting an addictive personality? Can't/wont log out to take care of real world things.

    I recall there being something in the WoW experience that pulled in a bunch of Addictive personalities.

    Mr. @HillbillyDeluxeTruck , don't make "jokes" like that about me... I don't find that funny... I am a lady driver and like to be respected as such.

    What happened? I have been patiently waiting for at least the cliff note version.

    WIIS and you stop to chain up and find a puddle of gear oil sitting on a rim on your brand new truck. I'll tell you what I did. I stood there and stared at it then said a few words then grabbed a socket and ratchet and tighten the #### axel cap. First time using the EPU for heat went well. They added 2 Deep cell batteries. Ran the heat and all without it starting the truck so seems good so far.

    100% correct. nothing to see here, spread the word.

    was a nice day today, hauled a big metal shear to a train derailment, then standby until it finished chopping up rail cars and haul it back to it's barn.
