Blue Dragon Parts
(600x600) (900x900) (1800x1800)
   All the parts for the Blue Dragon have arrived.  I spent the day assembling the system and getting software setup.  Assembly had some issues here and there.  Airflow through the case had to be reversed because the heatsink fan hit the tall RAM if the fan faced the normal direction.  There were a couple little things like that, but for the most part, there was nothing unusual about building this system.
   To my surprise, when I hit the power button, the system started and was ready for software.  That's a first for me :)  Ubunutu installed very easily and in no time, the Blue Dragon was alive.  Now begins the long process of migrating to this system.  I have a fair bit of tinkering to do since I need to emulate a lot of non-Linux software I can't find a suitable replacement for.

   The flood waters have dropped below 12 feet, putting us under the 12.2 feet "major flood stage" level.  We offiously enter the flood stage at 9 feet, which is between the 2 and 5 year flood flood stage.  We broke 9 feet on June 9th--26 days ago.  Durring that time, the river has moved almost 200 billion gallons of water at an average rate of 7.4 billion gallons a day or 20 million gallons every 15 minutes.  At 8.33 pounds/gallon, that means every 15 minutes, 86,000 tons of water goes by and since the start of the flood, 807 million tons of water.  That's a lot of water :)
   The highest flow rate of the Rock River where we are was during it's crest, hitting 105,000 gallons every second.  By comparison, the Nile River, on average, discharges 750,000 gallons a second; the Mississippi River 3.4 million gallons/second and the Amazon River 58 million gallons/second.
