I haven't been on Mad Laps in awhile so thought I would post some news from the frozen tundra of Green Bay. Brett Farve?? Totally glad it's over he's been off/on about playing the last 3 years so this time management had enough. For awhile it was almost like a "Young and the Restless" soap opera.
Recently I did get on Mad Laps for an hour. Racer X was only one there that I knew. It was late US time so all the English folk and sheep were sleeping. Hey I didn't want to embarrass Mad since I whooped his tail every time *wink wink nudge nudge*
Computer business was bad in April + May. Usually they are the worst months of the year but this time around it was worse. Always happy to see June 1st roll around  All the kiddies get on the Internet and infections galore take over.
I've been doing work for national contractors. Installs Inc. (www.installs.com) has a contract with Dell to setup new Dell systems. But I do have a job on Monday to do a security virus/spyware analysis. Noticed I had to run a Trend Micro HouseCall scan. Do they know how long that takes  ?? That's just 1 thing. I've been driving to the Appleton/Neenah/Menasha/Oshkosh areas in Wisconsin Installs Inc doesn't have a tech there. So I always have to request a trip fee each time for a job. Jobs are flat rate - if you don't have workers comp insurance you get less than businesses that do. Dunno why........... Money is direct deposited in my checking account. Sweet
Prism Pointe Technologies does warranty work for Gateway. I've been doing work for St. Vincent's hospital which is very close to me. Mostly motherboard/power supply swaps. For laptops, screens, keyboards and new base assemblies. Today I had to go to another hospital to replace a bad power supply ($60).
If anybody plays poker on PokerStars, my screenname is racermark (duh!). See you at the tables 
I went to the Nascar Indianapolis races a few weeks ago and to the Milwaukee Mile at the end of June. At Indy, at the house where I always park, he now has a pool table in his garage. So at 7pm while waiting for traffic to simmer down, was shooting some pool. Hadn't played in awhile but then it started to flow at the end was hitting shots. Shocked me they went in 
I've talked to Galahad a little. He's training Brie in UT land so look out fellas
Now it's CRJ127's turn to give us an update on the forum. Come on bud you can do it
See all you mad racers later

Ok no I didn't pay him off to post here just thought I'd clear the rumor mill Village idiot? Nah your helping all your elderly neighbors across the street. Or you've decided to hand out magazines for Jehovah's Witnesses in your free time It's ok dude we still are behind you 100% lol. Nah your working hard to support yourself and eating popcorn watching re-runs of Diggnation. When you return you should definitely upload and race the red beetle from your signature into Mad Laps.
Don't want to work today but got 1 appointment and 1 pickup. And have to call somebody else. Oh joy

hi racermark, thanks for the market report. Times are a little difficult in business over here also, still nothing would get me out of bed for $60US  .
I've been playing mostly Nine Ball on my rare outings, best mate Canada Ian getting fat on the nachos the loser buys.
CRJ127: Chris, Ive said it before, hurry back soon and pick up where you left off with that magnificent legacy of tracks. Simply the best <3

CJ and all his buddies will attempt a raid on your bootcamp Galahad when you aren't paying attention. Even with a 15 against 2 scenario I'd expect a lot of carnage on our side lol. Would be fun to try though
Totally shocked me to get both Galahad and CJ to post in the same day.
Ok where are my grenades at? Dang it G thief lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
