Saturday was my birthday and it was great! Friday night is "Date night" for Daniel and I, and I mentioned that I wish we could go camping. So Daniel came home, and we set up the tent for some "camping". Which was the start to a fabulous birthday!
And no camping is complete without some stars to look at! :)
Then Saturday, Daniel worked on his paper for a class, and I sat down and did the coolest mind puzzle ever! I took apart a hard drive. :) Daniel did point out a few things, but most of it i did on my own! It was amazing! The disk is so reflective and un-flawed, the information is stored magnetically.
This is our way cool magnet we now have. One of the parts I couldn't figure out was magnetic. They use very strong magnets to move the arm that writes on the disk, and man, even with all the screws out I thought I had missed some. Talk about some good magnets!
Daniel wanted to see how they powered the motor that spins the disk. So normally these are the parts that the power flows through. Then we used wires and a battery to see. Come to find out the power flow alternates two ways to make the disk spin. We are talking around 54000 RPM! So batteries don't work.... hehehe... but the more I learn about computers, the more amazed I am with how they work and all that goes on. It is so cool! And I get to learn about computers every day! Daniel shares things with me and can answer any question I have about them! I love it!
In the afternoon we took a ride on the motorcycle. We use to come out to the School when we were dating, so we came back and played in the toys. :) Such fun!
Daniel then took me to Craigo's for dinner! I LOVE the Mindy's Special! Craigo's Pizza will be one thing I'll miss when we leave. Then we got together with a few friends and did smores out at the Dunes.
A fabulous Birthday! Thank you friends and Family for all you do! And thank you to my amazing husband!
