The weekend was good anyway. Friday after I got out of work, I stopped by the Frontline Church in Grand Rapids to help finish up setup for the BoxHeads LAN the next day, but they were basically done already. So I hung out there with the BH guys that were still there, finalized setup, and tested out the network. D.O.A. let me hop on his computer, and Iceboy and myself proceded to have a "Sniper War" in Battlefield 2. Just the 2 of us, at opposite ends of the map, trying to plink each other with the Sniper rifle. To cap the night off, about 9 of us went out to Damon's. Was fun. Saturday I spent some time with the wife and kids, then they had to go, so I went to the LAN for a little while. I didn't bring my computer this time since I was going to be there for about 4-5 hours. But I had a fun time anyhow. One of the guys, Pengin (no, not Penguin), had made a good bit of discs for me before the LAN, so I picked those up. I got: GTR (from the same developer as GT Legends in prev post, but with modern cars), rFactor, Live for Speed, and F1 Challenge. All good racing games. Been playing those, pretty challenging to drive them well.
Also at the LAN, one guy had his power supply blow, and it took the 2 next to him out as well, so all 3 computers had smoke billowing out the backs of them. Kinna neat actually. And since there were Power Supplies for prizes, some were re-allocated to those that blew up.
After LAN clean-up concluded, about 8 (basically the same that went to Damons) of us traveled to Perkins to find them closed. It was midnight after all. So we went to IHOP.
Then there was Sunday, which started off the work week again. *sigh*

Next weekend, pending it doesn't rain, I'll be taking the wife to Berlin Raceway for Championship Night, the last night of racing at the local short track. Already have (free) tickets, too.
So there is that to look forward to.
But in the meantime, work.

Till next time, have fun, be good.
