I got so frustrated at my computer I needed a break, so I went for a small hike. After 2.5 hours of fighting with my computer I'm still having trouble accessing the internet. So I'm currently on my sister's, it may be a while before I'm back online, I'm going for round two with the computer.
 
:D Dang internet service provider, turns out problem was on their end, unfortunately for you guys I'm back.

Today hasn't been a good day for technology and me, I found an old digital camera of mine and decided to take some pics of some of the mountains and a RAT in use, but unfortunately it wouldn't stay on and just drained all the batteries I put in it. I started up an old four wheeler path and about two minutes into my short hike I saw a deer trail leading up into the mountains, so I decided to take the path less followed. After a couple of minutes I came across a familiar short waterfall and just listened to it for a few minutes. Then the deer trail started going uphill, not a small gradient either, but I decided I would follow it a little ways further so I found a nice long branch that was about 10 feet or so long and an inch or so thick. I took out an Izula and made me a nice walking stick cutting of the rotting end of the stick. After about ten minutes of going uphill I decided it was about time I started working my way back, and since there was a lot of loose topsoil and leaves I decided to sharpen the end of my walking stick to a little bit of a point to where it could dig into the ground a little better. After working my way back down I got back on the old four wheeler trail and came across a nice mud pit, there was a creek to the left and a steep slope to the right so I had to go through it or turn around. Thankfully there was a large rock in the center of the mud pit that I used to leap frog across, then seeing how I had been out for a little longer than I had expected I decided to take a short cut back home and cross the creek.

Well long story short I learned 3 things today, technology isn't my friend, the value of a walking stick, and fresh air is a good reliever for me.

iggyd, I agree completely. I'll try and borrow a camera tomorrow and take a few pics, it wont be where I went today though. No way am I taking someone else's (probably my sister's) camera where I went today.

I have a 6+ year old PC that I got at walmart for around $250 on sale, :o its operating on a 198mb RAM.

:D its about time I upgrade, I plan on only purchasing two knives this year to save up for a decent computer. The knives will be the RAT forum knife and probably a Emerson A-100. Any suggestions for what type of computer?
