my monitor port went out (least thats what i think i is) next time i'm here at the parents house i'll get the october stat posted. If you need a Monitor, I have Spares available. Free for the taking. If you need a Video Card (the Port...) I may have that as well. If I can locate one, it would be of the PCI slot type that easily attaches to the main board. If I can't locate one, they're not very costly and a new one can be obtained easily. If you have No Idea of what I'm talking about, have no fear. I can do the work for you as well. I'm not the smartest with software (the Programs...) but when it comes to the Hardware (the parts that make things happen...) I can do that. I have built or rebuilt several computers from the ground up, and can likely disassemble and reassemble your entire machine in a single evening. So let me know if you want me to stop by one night. Give me a few beers and this could be Fun!!! ;D

just finished this month's mileage totals, will post after the first of the month that way it gives bugs a few more days to move, but you might want to send some polite *ahem ahem* e-mails to people to move some bugs along.... I checked on a few of them and some are sitting in caches since September, while others were picked up by people who haven't logged in, in a few months

One of our missing bugs has shown back up and made up for some lost time, while other bugs have gone missing independently or in one case the entire cache was muggled and then archived.

On a side note, I've learned a week or so ago that my other TB (Henry, Not a part of this race) has gone Missing as it was last seen in a cache that is now Archived. Bummer. I was wanting that one home for my DD by Christmas 2010.
Bryan, This is your Topic. Feel Free to Delete this post if you'd like to. Otherwise, I was just saying that this was a Bad Month for the TB's. Anyhow, ...

If all of us TB Owners set this as a Goal for our bugs, I have a New Question that could be posted up here. "To Conclude this TB Race, Which bug will be the First to return Home?"
Not sure if you will want to use that, but it's another idea that has just come to mind as the race is getting closer to completion.

that's easy, if it doesn't go to far Leanne's Wrench is in Ohio so we might go get it after the race... or Some Gave All... Marines is in Wisconsin...

So.. we only had 6 Movers? Or.. rather, just 5?
No Wonder we agree on that new Rule Change for the 2011 Race.

Just a quick update halfway through the month:
Half way through the month, some bugs are making their moves, and headed up in the rankings, but is it to little to late?
and while some of our trailing bugs are headed up are some of our leaders headed out? With one of the top three bugs going missing could that spell a disaster?
