Computer isues

My computer sort of died today so I am on my tablet.
Which isn't really the same. So I am going to be kind o scarce until my new part comes in on Saturday.

I'm back up and running now. Strangest 'problem' I have ever had with a computer.
A bracket to hold my heat-sink broke on the motherboard.
The two ends were still screwed into place,but the middle was laying in the bottom of the case.

Got a replacement ordered Thursday night, and paid for expedited shipping, so $20 for like a $5 part, but what are ya gonna do?
Got here today, and it was the wrong size, so I modified it to work. Now, I am just playing catch up with email, messages, and other stuff.

On the bright side, with no computer, I got a bunch of stuff done. Finished the shelves in my new shed. Got more Halloween decorations done.
And finally finished the shop sink, and the counter to go next to it down the basement.



So, now I can wash kits and such down there instead of having to haul them all upstairs and do it in the kitchen.

Nice work! Having serious skills is a BIG plus!

I know, computer not telephone, but this came to mind...

Thanks.
I wouldn't say I have serious skills. I am proficient with power tools and can visualize things pretty well. I generally cut and build on the fly.
I don't do well when it comes to making plans, doing precise measurements and cuts, or fine joinery. Basically, I am a framer, not a finish carpenter
That is why I marvel at the amazing hardware builds I see in the modeling community. All that fine, scribing, decal cutting and applying, drilling windows, and all the other amazing things they do just blow me away.
