I wonder how much the computer industry has helped the fast food market including Taco Bell which is open late night. Also I know people drink a lot of Mountain Dew at their computers, especially gamers (me included).

Hi Zepp - as soon as I get an outdoor gas burner, I'll try your method with the Salmon. The bacon grease was especially mouth watering. I'll discount the part that it probaly negates eating salmon in the first place. I was just delighted I could finally turn it over without it sticking.

Yes, there are fine people in this thread. Glad you should be getting your parts real soon. Long live this thread.

I just may install FarCry again and kick-up the difficulty level. Probaly would still be on the third or fourth level if I had a higher difficulty setting.

I too did salmon last night, but mine was in the giant cast iron skillet because I wanted it blackened...whooooo weeeee....sucker was hot and yummy...first off rub in spices - lightly sear all sides in bacon grease - then slow broil in same fry pan turning every now and then...

Yup, the Intel store has shipped a new bracket out, but the big news is BillC went out of his way at lunch yesterday and expressed one to me!!! Thanks Billski. Got some really fine people associated with this thread. Guess it is a special type of person who wants stability and high end???? It shall be good to have a spare on hand too

Cheers,

Oh yeah - it counts. In fact, we'll do Tacos tonight ourselves. Pizza I am picky - got to have the New York style, and that is certainly almost non existant where I live now.

A lot - a few weeks ago we rolled-out about fifty boxes on the military base. Four people involved, and it took six large pizzas, and about five gallons of Pepsi. Pizza Hut was happy. I never had so much heartburn in my life.

I think that card is well worth waiting for. I would be going nuts during the interim waiting. If I had it all to do over again, I would have gotten an additional HDD, and after reinstalling the OS, with all it's updates - at that point I would make an image. So if things go south during a software/hardware install - I would always have the pristine image.

I hate waiting but when I do get the card I should be set. I have the fans setup and positioned and the GPU water block is all ready for me to just bolt it onto the card. I will be adding RAM sinks to the card also. I haven't touched my box since last Saturday which is a long time. Everything is running fast, cool, and quiet at 2-3-2-6 and +4% and I just reinstalled Windows MCE. I even cleaned my case out. I should be getting Acronis Ready Image in about a week so that will be fun to play with also. I upped my Plextor 708A to PO6 and will be burning with it again soon.

I am really about finished with my box finally and there was one other thing I was thinking about getting which was this new keyboard. I have heard good things about it and it would match my case, mouse, and deskpad. After that, within a years time I expect I will have a new LCD monitor for the first time. There are very nice LCD monitors out there now for the desktop but I am kinda waiting to see if the gaming aspect of the LCD improves.

But of course! And as my idol Homer Simpson would say: "Purple is a fruit!"

Waiting to see if kitchen still smells like fish when I get home.... Think Jim has it right, cook fish outside...but Pizza Hut, gag. NY Style pizza, what is that??? Chicago style is what I like and Mountain Dew is a huge Sandog, I am hooked on the stuff!!!

But in Homer's case wouldn't idol be spelled idle?

I am not even going to get into the Thick/Thin crust debate. But I am partial to thin olive oil draped crusts I will say that Pizza Hut and just about anywhere you get a pizza in California, it's lousy, i.e. uncooked crust, acid in sauce, and tasteless ingrediants.

I like ice cold distilled water.

Hi Jim,

Can't speak for CA, but in OK, the Pizza Huts are just as lousy. Ditto Dominos, and then the worst of all: Papa Johns. Now that is some nasty pizza...like eating greasy cardboard (I think...never actually tried to eat greasy cardboard). However, I am quite fortunate to have Pisanos, which is a family-owned, one location restaurant, and they make some of the best pizza and calzones that I've ever eaten. Really yummy stuff. And since they started a delivery service about a year ago, I have no reason not to have a Pisanos pizza or calzone at least once a week.

Best,

Hi Bill - your lucky, we had some Mom & Pops that baked a great pizza. They were bought out by the big tasteless chains.

Years ago I had to go to Altus, OK in the middle of the summer . There was a place around there that had the coldest beer and greatest pizza around. Would that be Pisanos?

We have several places good in Huntsville, my favorite was called Big Ed's where I use to eat at all the time back in the old days. It was sorta like NY pizza in that it is hand tossed and huge and goes in a big old oven. The bottom of the pizza has those little white crumbs if you know what I mean which I believe elevates the pizza in the oven for a crispy style. Great cheese and sauce to. Now I go to Terry's Pizza which was the first restaurant to serve beer I believe and I also go to Donato's which makes great specialty pizza's like their Mariachi Chiken with jalapenos, roma tomato's, and provolone and cheddar cheese with sour cream on the side. See you got me started.

Your killing me, I'm hungary for a pizza now. BTW the little white crumbs are corn meal which enhances the baking of the crust.

Having spent most of my life on this Island in the Pacific I have eaten salmon till it has come out my ears......

IMHO

Here is THE BEST WAY TO BBQ SALMON!!

Cut the salmon into steaks before you freeze it, put wax paper between the steaks and THEN freeze it....
Separate the frozen steaks and throw em on a hot grill (while still frozen)
flip em lots.....every time you flip em cover them with Hys' Seasoning Salt.....a lot of it will fall of, but the stuff that doesn't blackens and tastes very yummy....

also IMHO

Here is THE BEST WAY TO BAKE SALMON!!

Cut the salmon into 2 big fillets ( 4 or 6 if they are too long to fit in the oven)
place em on a foiled cookie sheet skin side down
cover the other side about 1/8" to 1/4" deep in MAYONAISE!!! (It's just egg and oil remember?)Put whatever spices you like on it, I like lemon pepper myself .....
Bake it till the mayo browns and the fish flakes.....nummmmmmers !
