Short bike ride

This pasted weekend I helped out with a friends high school graduation party. I was the chef "master". My duty was to cook the burger and hot dogs. After all is said and done, 40 burgers were cooked and some number of hot dogs were cooked. Left overs, 40 burgers and 2 hot dogs. Very well executed in my book only requiring a few people to wait for their burgers. Yet another event I can add to my cooking resume for large groups (along with the times I've cooked for BG and family cookouts).

Memorial day my family went to a Kalamazoo Kings baseball game, and the Kings won.

Project paint the dell laptop, has turned out so so (kinda bad) with just rattle cans. So instead of using spray paint, I found out a good friend from church has the equipment to paint it professionally. He is an amazing guy to say the least!

Next subject biking: The short route today, 45 minutes, 9 miles (biking on center was kinda crazy)

Vista Profile Service

A post that may be of use to someone on the internet:
Currently I am working on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with Vista. Scrolling through the event viewer while in Safe Mode, it appears that the User Profile could not be loaded so it loaded a temporary profile. The next login, however, Vista was unable to load the user profile. In fact, it started throwing a
"The User Profile Service service failed the logon. The UserProfile failed to load."

The best fix is to use the System Restore. I restored the computer back to the lastest restore point, and the computer logs in normally. Complete instructions follow:

1. Turn on computer
2. Press F8 until you get a menu with System Recovery/Safe Mode/Safe Mode with...
3. Select Safe Mode
4. Login with the user account. This solution assumes you are able to login to your account through safe mode.
5. Start All Programs Accessories System Tools System Restore
6. Restore your computer to an earlier point. Your computer will reboot and you should be able to login now.
7. Success! Celebrate with a can of Mountain Dew or something...

Another option (basically the same as above but using a different means). I used the method above, but I presume that this approach will accomplish the same task.
1. Turn on computer
2. Press F8 until you get a menu with System Recovery/Safe Mode/Safe Mode with...
3. Select the System Recovery Mode
4. Login with an admin user account. This solution also assumes you are able to login.
5. A menu is displayed with a couple options:
a) You can try to automatically detect and fix any problems (this most likely will only help if you have driver issues during boot up).
b) Select System Recovery. <-
6. Restore your computer to an earlier point. Your computer will reboot and you should be able to login now.
7. Success! Celebrate with a can of Mountain Dew or something...

At last! I hope this post helps you in a time of trouble.
