Success, finally!

Not sure if it was the new power supply or we finally had our heads screwed on right, but my computer is back up and running. I can now say I’ve successfully installed a new cpu and cpu fan on a motherboard. I would have done it all myself, but I was stuck for a while. It took DH a while to figure out that I had forgotten to connect a small secondary power connector on the motherboard. Once that was fixed everything went well.

Still no pictures yet. I have to reinstall Photoshop which is going to be a big pain! I upgraded from an old old version so I had to call Adobe the first time I installed it and will probably have to again. And until then, I don’t have a way to resize photos and I am not going to attempt uploading a 1MB file over dial-up.

The hedgehog factory is doing well, so far it has churned out two hedgehogs (nicknamed Lemon Drop and Strawberries & Cream). They are now drying in the sun room. I hope Lemon Drop is dry some time tomorrow so I finish her up before the birthday party on Sunday.
