Computer don't like ship power

Well my Mac died the other day. This is the second time it has died, the first time the hard drive needed to be replaced. I think it is the logic board this time. Thanks to a fellow Mason in Italy I have a ride to Rome on Wednesday to go to the closest Apple Store (only 2 in all of Italy). He has been great, and I haven't even meet him face to face yet. He called the Apple store for me and got me a Genius Appointment. They say it will be 14 days to fix it. I have so much to do on it before I leave the ship it will be good to get it fixed. The last thing I wanted to have to do was land in America and go straight to the store to get it fixed. Thank goodness I still have Applecare on it. I think it might be time to get a smaller laptop, so I can have one in my room, and leave my big one at work. Less ware and tare.

Sorry for not posting anything for the past 2 months. Things are very busy around here. The cast is past the halfway point, and we get a new ice cast in 2 weeks.

After many months of waiting for new lamps to arrive, I finally got them a few weeks ago, so my rig is looking very bright and clean. I have gotten many broken lights working. I have one more to try and get working before I leave, but if I don't its not that big a deal.

I have never started to count down to when I am leaving so eary. I started at 10 weeks. I guess it's because I have so many exciting things to do at home. I can't wait to see my niece, she is growing up so much. I will have not seen her in 7 months. She is talking and walking now. I have heard she loves to use the video camera. Future Tech I think.

Anyway I will let you know later in the week how my adventure to the Apple store in Rome goes.
