One of those calls.

A friend called sometime today.  I just checked, saw a message, and listened.  My friend is in the hospital and it isn't looking good.  I am going to have to figure out how to be awake at the right time to call back, figure things out, and get in to the hospital.  A simple visit at least, though I will check to see if there is anything he needs while I am there.  He had a minor stroke recently.  I don't know if this is related to that or something else.  I'm not good with these sorts of things, but I have improved.  So... tomorrow?  I am hoping.

To get my mind off that, since I can't do much about it, I messed with the keyboard for the new system, rechecked plugs, unplugged some things from the motherboard that aren't required yet, and am about to take the monitor I am using to type this post in and set it up for an initial post attempt.  If that goes well, then I break it all down while figuring out how to install it all into the case, in the same simple configuration, hook everything back up, and attempt a post in the case... or I troubleshoot until I can get a post or figure out what is wrong and begin dealing with that.

I may take a shower or bath first though.  If I can get it to post, I will head in for a bite and see about some of the items I want/need.  Walmart probably won't carry what I need.  And yet it is worth a shot.  With my time off..  Even if I get in to town tomorrow, I don't know if I will be able to go shopping on top of it, being that it will be a very harsh change in my schedule.  Hmm... I ought to see if the fellow who called wants to go along when I go in to see the friend he called about.  Yeah, I'll ask when I speak with him.

Yeah, well, I'll do what I can.  Later.
