Well, we now have every thing.  The computer came today.  Don't have to worry about it coming during the weekend.  Don said that he will help us set it up.  Hopefully next weekend.

I am worried that my buddy is going to be bumped off NCIS.  I have one more epsode befor the finalie.  I guess we will see what happens.  I checked his web site there still talking about last years shows.  2011 not 2012.  That doesn't make much sence to me.  Oh well it is just a show!!
