Red Ring Of Death

|
We all live with fear to some extent.

For example, I have always been afraid of heights, they just make me very uncomfortable. I don't how I worked as a High Adventure Guide when I worked at Hume Lake. Even watching something on TV where guys are on top of high high rise buildings or something will cause me to sweat a little. Granted my TV with HD is more clear then when I look out a window, but still.

Another great fear that I have, a great fear that all Xbox 360 owners have, is the Red Ring Of Death. It means that your console has had a major hardware failure, usually because the console has overheated. Then it magically becomes a $400 paper weight.That right there is the Red Ring Of Death. Not any old generic picture of the Red Ring Of Death. That is my Red Ring Of Death. Yea. Luckily, Microsoft knows that they really screwed up in making their GPU from thier own specs and sending it to Taiwan for 10 year olds in sweat shops to make rather than sending it to a reputable producer. So a RROD means you can get a free fix no matter when your warranty expired; mine expired in May.

All I wanted to do was have a nice quiet Sunday at home killing zombies. Nope. Hopefully in a few weeks I can get back on the horse.

Uh oh. What ever are you going to do without your X-box for a week?!!

Not 1 week... like 5 weeks. I will survive as long as it returns to me before Sept 16 when "Star Wars: Force Unleashed" is released.

I know, I'm a liar. I would like to have come up but not sure it will happen.

That sucks.... Why in heck does it take them so long to replace it? Crazy.

Come up and play our X-box. :)

If you can't come up here we are thinking of getting down there this fall. Do you guys have room for us or should we look for hotels near by? I'm starting a night shift in September that is 7 on 7 off, so I get to travel a lot more if we wish. And Jeff won't start school until January.

We miss you guys like crazy!!
