I wanted to give a local shop a chance, let them impress me and earn future business. But that ain't happenin now.

Hiya FeyFey!

Hallo, it's Tuesday. That's all I got.

And I STILL don't have my PC back. The motherboard arrived today and they are working on it. But they are not sure it will be done by the end of the day. It's NOON! How long does it take to swap in a new motherboard? I would think 1-2 hours TOPS. I will never do business with these guys again.

Morning...

*Pops into the kitchen and makes Tramontane a big plate of holiday turkey, stuffins, taters, swedish meatballs, croissant rolls, ham and peas!*

Here ya go Tramontane! And the entire Rookery got a train this year! So that's some pretty good loots!

And to you as well Nyght!

That was AWESOME Scooby!

Hallo...

Bioshock 2 is FUN!

*Pops in to put out some hot chocolate, cookies and chex mix for anyone who happens by.*

Merry X-Mas!

Hey LarkerSchismatrixStefanie! Glad you all could make it. Thanks for the gift Larker!

*Throws a lever forward and the train begins to chug out of the station.*

Hiya NekoDaKittehBeckyNinjaPixieKittehMystic!

Thanks Mystic, it's the perfect thing for watching cartoons and nomming donuts.

*Gives out holiday snuggles to all!*

You want to work the throttle Becky? Neko can work the whistle and Mystic can work the brakes!

*Fires up the boiler in the new Rookery train and gives the steam whistle a long blast.*

All aboard, train leaving for fun and snowy adventures! Heading for the North Pole and Santa's workshop and all points north!

*Re-POUNCES, this time on the Neko Kitteh for tusslings!*

Of course we can ride it later, it's always going to be here!

*POUNCES the Puppeh for the Festivus Feats of Strength Tussle!*

Hiya...

yes FeyFey! We must have a traditional Festivus Aluminum Pole!

Hmmm, soon Rad. I will out tussle anyone! The Puppeh or any Kittehs would be an appropriate opponent as well if you like.

*Pads into the room, dragging a tall aluminum pole along behind him.*

Happy Festivus!

As this joyous holiday is upon us I want to present my gift for the Rookery in honor of X-Mas, Haunaku, New Years, Festivus and Kwanzaa

*He opens a new door in the wall and... a TRAIN comes through with tracks dropping down in front of the locomotive as it arrives.*

That's right, we now have a Rookery train!

*Pounces and drags FeyFey back to the bean bag chair.*

Babylon 5 is awesome! What do you want????

Hallo LarkerFeyFey

*Plops down to watch tv with Larker.*

*Glances at the clock and makes sure the door is unlocked before hopping onto the couch to watch anime cartoons on the giant tv.*

Not that I know of, am hoping to have it by the end of this week. It will suck going into a four day weekend without my computer.

A donut! Fanks Puppeh!

*NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM*

I am getting a gift for the WHOLE Rookery to share. Issa surprise though.

Hallo NekoStryph

Hmmm Tron MMO, interesting idea Neko. I still want my Mech Warrior game though, MMO or not! Got Splatterhouse for the PS3 today. It's fun, but no great shakes.

Thanks Larker, I am watching them as close as I can. I think it's more a lack of professionalism than anything dishonest. They all seem pretty young and maybe not as focused on running the business as they should be. Oh well, it's their loss. I was looking to buy a reasonably priced gaming PC in the near future (1500ish was what I was figuring on spending). And they have lost that business because it's taking them so long.

Howdy PhillyFeyFey

Ok, so now they are replacing my motherboard, it will be another week possibly. So, over 2 weeks to diagnose a bad motherboard and replace it. Is it just me or is that an unreasonable amount of time? I was considering buying a custom PC from these guys but I think they just lost that one. Seems like a week would be reasonable to diagnose and fix the problem.

*Snags a donut in mid air and begins nomming.*

Fanks SantaLarker!

*POUNCES the Puppeh and begins a holiday tussling!*

Morning...

PuppehTwipperTuxedoShecky

Umm then it's.... Matron? Hmmm, your toon would be someone's mommy!

*Pops out of the lab followed by a cloud of smoke.*

Donuts?! AWESOME!

*He grabs the donuts and bounds down the stairs to plop on the sofa and nom.*

Secret Santa Donuts are the best!

I can empathize PogoPogo. My PC is in the shop until maybe Wednesday. This old box can web surf, but no winter event for me. No snow balls, no ski slopes. I think I will just head up to the lab and try to start a fire...

*Pads sadly up the stairs towards the lab with the big KEEP OUT signs.*
