I enjoyed last year's Amtrak/bike trip to Colorado so much, that I planned another for this year--the western part of the state this time.
But I had to replace my PC just over a month ago. Apparently, the source of instability lately was that there had been a small
fire on the motherboard.
Of course, getting me into the LCS (Local Computer Shop) is a lot like getting me into the LBS. I spent nearly $900 on a pair of 24" monitors alone. And there went all the money I'd saved for the trip. But they're really nice monitors…
So I've moved my late-summer vacation to Labor Day and will be joining one of my clubs for a cycling weekend in the 1,000 Islands. Won't be car-free, but it'll be cheap.
