i'm just sitting here a bit.
   making money does indeed stimulate issues. it sounds very economically
   valid, but it is more painful to consider than this task.
   when I work with coreboot most of my time is spent waiting for results,
   flashing things, rebooting things, methodically identifying things.
   i'm thinking I might like to try to repair these boards. just taking it
   methodically and slowly.
   they're just boards.
   a pending concern is the time investment.  I would like to do more with
   my life than this.
