down but not out

[dabaerman]

well, I have to temporarily shut down my folding opperation. I planned on a slow, systematic approach, allowing
the clients to finish first. sadly, that won't be the case for all of them.
it is temporary! and I will fold at a very reduced rate for a few months. it is temporary! and it will
allow me the time to complete many changes to the folding rigs. the mods to the cooling and power systems. I need to
do a complete re-wire of the electrical to meet code and reduce consumption. yes, I was racking up an extra
$200per month, and gladly paid it because I could. now, I can't and it is temporary!. this is not the end. I want
to let you all know that it is temporary I will do my best and you will know when I'm @ 100% again. also to let you
know that all in dabaerman's house are well. got to tighten the belt and get beyond the bumpy parts.

tough times call for sometimes drastic cutbacks. this time it's me.

Do what you have to do, m'man.

We will still be here when you get back

[dabaerman]

OK, I'm here again.

bad back, laid off with eight months to get to 65.

it was hard for a while, not knowing if you would have a home in eight months.

that said, I'm still here and have qualified for Unemployment benes. getting the mortgage adjusted
and paying the bills.

ran FAH on a pair of GF250GT's as I started to rebuild. now upped that to a pair of EVGA GTX285 FTW Edition
water cooled with Koolance blocks. the AMD P II X4 945e 3.0 is also H2o cooled with koolance block,
three 120mm fans/radiater and RP 980 pump. maybe som pics when I can.

just happy to be Folding again. i know ther will be pics as i try 3 N460GTX Cyclones and an AMD 955 on air!

Hey, the ol' homestead comes before folding. Take it slowly and feel better. Lots of people are slowing down on folding these days, with the cost being what it is, and the money they make staying the same...

[dabaerman]

right you are sir. the back problems (disc issues @ L4/5 & S1) are somewhat limiting and healing
will take time, along with PT and work related limitations. my employer will not provide light duty or
otherwise accommodate these limitations.

now I have more time to work on the 'big list of things to do'.
