XBox

Yay! The XBox and Kinect arrived today, with all the games. I did order the extended warranty for the XBox. 

Hmm. I may need a larger surge protector.

Going to shoot some zombies tonight and this weekend!

The LED grow lights also arrived. They were so small and light I thought it was only one at first. Opened the package and found it was all four. Installed one immediately. Works well from what I could tell. Won't really be able to assess until nighttime. If they're dim, I'll use two of them. They're low voltage and low heat. 

I am so sick of rude, unprofessional people. They are who I will be picturing in my head as I shoot zombies. I wouldn't shoot them in real life but tazing sounds like a really good idea. 

Before games, I need to work on the bike some more. Decided to just wait until the weekend to do the car, since it involves raising the car up and spending some time underneath. Aside from taking it out of commission to do the engine and transmission flushes. I got new front brakes, also. So I'll spend at least a couple of hours working on the car all at once. Jack it up one time and be done with it. 

The battery for the bike is all charged up. Should be ready to work on, long as the gas hasn't all evaporated. Have to check that before starting. Pain in the butt if there's no gas in the fuel line. 

9:19 PM- 

Okay, so I am having one of those days where electronic items don't like me. Tends to be minor issues unless I push it too hard. Then it becomes major. So, better to leave it alone and come back at it tomorrow.

The bike wouldn't start. Could not get the tire seated and since the engine wouldn't start, spinning the tire at high speed didn't happen. Part of it was that the bike has sat so long. Just makes it stubborn. Had gas in it but probably not enough. I went and got more. I thought I had a battery problem but not certain now. Very difficult for the engine to turn over. So I tried jumping it from the car with car engine off. Then the bike engine just stopped turning over. Just before that happened, the engine really tried to start. So, the problem is either the main fuse or the starter. I'm guessing the main fuse. Check that over tomorrow and all connections. 

Then I hooked up the XBox. It came with a wireless controller. However, the wireless controller would not sync with the console. I'll have to look up more information and try more this weekend. 

Oh, well. Got the dishes done, cooked dinner. Eating and watching the news. Glad tomorrow is Friday!
