Man, it was a hot one this weekend. Every day the temperature was over 95 in St. Louis.  This made any activity outside unbearable.  I found myself running from one air conditioned spot to the next.  On Friday, I attended a wedding and had a late night (for me) at Talaynas.  I hadn’t been there in about 2 years.  But, it looks like they really made some improvements.  They added about 20 more disco balls then I remembered and a new bar.  If their goal was to be the tackiest bar in St. Louis, they are pretty close to achieving that.  On Saturday, I attended the post-wedding barbecue.  Despite the heat, I was able to get a few good cuts in with the Wiffleball bat.  Now that the wind is dying down, it is starting to feel more-and-more like Wiffleball season.  On Sunday, I spent the day hopping between Father’s day parties.  When, I got home that night I found my computer locked up.  Apparently, some time over the weekend my primary hard drive had a meltdown.  It looks like the root cause of the issue was two of my fans shutting down.  I spent part of Sunday and most of Monday night fixing it up.  After I installed a temporary fan (pictured above), I upgraded the system to Windows 7 RC.  I had been meaning to do this for a long time, but this was the motivation I needed.

Anyways, that was about it.  It was an extremely busy weekend.  I am putting some thoughts together on Windows 7 RC.  So, check back in a couple days if you are interested.
