It's about 7 weeks since we started SBD, and it's been about 3 weeks since we've full-on fallen off the wagon - but we intend to get back on after 4th of July weekend.   

Good news:I'm still at about 220lbs, which means I'm still down 9 from when I started, and means I haven't actually gained any weight back since the MB Vacation...   So hopefully I'll be in good position to start back.

We're headed up to Dad's for the weekend, my aunt, uncle, sister and some of our cousins will be there to celebrate the weekend, and will be back at the end of the weekend.  We returned the portable DVD player we bought prior to the MB trip because it choked badly on DVD's after about 2 hours of running, so we got a new one tonight.   It's an RCA, so maybe it'll work better, but it doesn't play DIVX, so I'm having to get DVD copies of the movies we have on BluRay.

Sims3 is addicting, if I haven't already said that...

Oh yea - and I recant my Gripe about Seagate's RMA cost.   it's actually 'free' to ship my HD back to them and have them replace it at a snail pace shipping (so >2 weeks with shipping both ways) - cost to me ~$10 for shipping to them.  OR, you can pay the $15, ship to them first, and they'll 2-day ship it back - Cost ~$25 and it'll take about a week to get it back.   OR you can pay them $20, and they'll ADVANCE ship a replacement via 2-day, AND send a prepaid return label - Cost $20 and I get the replacement in 2 days.   It's kind of a no brainer.

I got my advanced RMA today, and it only took about 4 hours for the array to rebuild into OK status.   I'm pretty astounded, I figured it'd take a day to repair.
