Going nuts…again

---------------------

Thank you internet for pointing me in the right direction….giving me hope, showing me the finish line….only to drop me back to where I started…..

Here is the exact thing I was looking for…..

but it’s white(I need black)….., the wheels are a bit big and ugly….and I’d have to drive 4 hours to get it…..and it’s still $100…..grrrrr……

 

anyway…..what started this all…

we have 2 360s hooked up in the living room, one is on the big TV, the other is hooked to a 20” LCD monitor.  for clan nights, my wife uses the TV, I use the monitor. Both systems are on the TV stand  the LCD sits next to that, so I unroll the wires and set the monitor on the coffee table to play.

Well, last night, I received an invite to play COD4….and I jump at it….shut down the main 360 move my profile to the other 360, turn it all on…..and I get nothing….I mean I hear the sound, but no picture….hmm…..I check the connections, check the monitor power….all looks fine….then I notice our oldest cat (Piedie) walk over and start chewing on a section of the VGA cable….yup….she must have been working on this for a while because while the outside cable is still mostly intact, the inside wires have been sliced to hell….I play with it a bit and get the occasional splash of yellow across the screen, but nothing else….so, I order a new VGA cable, scold the cat for about an hour (yeah, that did a lot of good)….and start shoping for a cart, or something to put the monitor on the cables in, so there’s only 1 (heavily wrapped, protected, and sealed) power cable coming out of the cart,  and prevent this from ever happening again…..so that’s why I need the cart….and why I’m half insane trying to find it….

The search continues…..
