Boise is a seismically (sp?) boring area for the most part. Last quake felt here was in 1981 when the deadly Challis quake struck. As I recall, there were two fatalities in Challis, Idaho, with that one. The quake was 6.0 at Boise and we felt it as far north as Post Falls, ID. Today, however, the construction crew across the street from my place of work decided to try and make their own seismic entertainment. Took a big-assed excavator to do it, but it was impressive.
But meanwhile, back at the kitchen table...
PC #2 is being staged. This one is for The Chief. I took special care to order an extraordinarily quiet case for this PC. The Chief needs quiet given his loud environment what with Spudlet and Ma Sweettooth living under the same roof as he.
And on the mechanical front...
Tater Tot changed the oil and filter on his favorite Toyota Camry a few days ago. When I got home today from work I noticed a rather pronounced oil stain on the driveway. Stitch confirmed that the budding mechanic had parked the Camry (Japanese for "Crashme") where the suspicious pond of petroleum was slowly seeping into the concrete. Ironically, Tot was off at his job at the truck stop watching the wrenches get down and dirty with diesel road majestics. I left a message on his cell noting that he either needed to fix the Camry or apply for OPEC membership. He called back later saying that one of his buds had put the Camry on a hoist and commented to Tot that it was not a bad idea to snug the oil drain plug after changing the oil.
