WOW 7.5 hours of deep sleep and another 2.5 hours of lying in bed. Been a while since I had that. Maybe why I don't feel drained at all after some serious CNS cooking stuff yesterday
Not too sore either, achey all over but mostly in my calves and spinal erectors. My bum right ankle doesn't even hurt WTF....

weighed 90.5kg 199.1lbs straight out of bed in underwear
Bodyweight went up...strange...

12min walk today, easy active recovery stuff and some light stretching

LOL - I ordered a Video Card from an internet store - Gainward 7900gt 512mb agp video card for my PC

paid via direct deposit that night, but I cancelled my order the next morning....

here is something strange - even though I cancelled my order and got the money refunded back into my account. On Friday the shop emailed me saying my order had shipped, and this morning they sent me a receipt of the purchase.....

If the video card actually arrives here today, I guess I can have my cake and eat it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F*Ck me dead a parcel arrived today after a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opened the package just then and damn that's a Gainward box sitting in there!!!!!

gonna sit on this card for a week and see if they don't ask me to pay for it....

damn, damn damn...!!

Time to catch up - been busy with new "free" video card
Late night thanks to me trying out my games with max settings
Hammies have a deep down kind of soreness.

weighed 90.5kg 199.1lbs straight out of bed in underwear
Carb loading today. I will go back to my Wednesday carb load as before, because Thursday feels a day late.

getting off topic for a bit -

So I installed the "free" PC video card yesterday

This card is basicly a 7900gt in AGP drag....yes it does have 24 pipelines and 512megs of memory but runs on AGP, and can be clocked up close to 7900GTX specs

But wow, I went back and tried all my recent games like COD2 and Oblivion, and cranked the settings up and damn I have been missing out

SM3 and HDR is a whole new world. The Shaders just add freaky detailing.

COD2 looks so detailed and busy with all the extra fruit. Pretty good frame rates. Oblivion on 1152x864 with HDR, and my Sony monitor set to dynamic brightness setting, when outdoors looks so life-like, the sky/clouds, and the colour temp/glare is like real sunlight landscape!!

Frame rate outside with everything on max goes between 20-45fps on average. There is an area in the main city where the dock is that made my 9800 crawl at 1-5 fps! Here I get 17fps, so it's better but not great, wonder why though...

there are still some annoying jerks, but it maybe due to needing more than 1 gig of ram.

My Radeon 9800 never looked like this, the lighting is fantastic, and not at over 70-140fps indoors. No AA with HDR though...

That semi-transparent effect you see is my staff camo'ed by my Chameleon robe
