Sunray Premium Playground Part 2

One thing I should add about putting this play set together. It's wise to both watch the video and read the instructions together. There's a number of times where the video will give you a key piece of information that is not included in the instructions. Just a tip for anyone who's also putting one together.

My second Wii system has been shipped back to Nintendo today. Now we'll see if they fix the one I sent or send me another system once again.

Another Wii Bites The Dust

It hasn't been a full month and my second Wii is having problems and going in for repairs. This time they think it is something rubbing against the fan. I really hope this will be the last of my Wii problems. Having one system have a problem is one thing but two in a row... Wii are starting to get upset. I'll post more info as more is found out.

The Playground



I've been spending the past week or so putting together a swing set for the kids. Specifically the Sunray Premium Playgrounds set from Costco. It took me about 21 hours to put together along with my wife helping when she could. The kids love it so it's all worthwhile.

Wii Turned

Well I got my Wii back. In total it took about a week and a half including shipping both ways for it to be returned to me.

I still don't know what was wrong with it and the "fix" was to send me a brand new Wii. So far I haven't had much time to play it as I've been building a swing set for my kids. However, I have had time to make sure it works. One nice touch is Nintendo transfer all of my information to this new system so all my network settings, game saves, Mii, etc. were all ready to go. The only thing I found odd is I did have to install the latest system update. You think they would have taken care of that already. Oh, and the channels I have downloaded previously need to be re-downloaded. No big deal.

This new system doesn't seem to feel as hot in standby mode as my previous system. I'll see how it preforms running Twilight Princess this weekend.

Wii Will Be Back Soon

Well my Wii was shipped out today. UPS says it should arrive on Monday. Now it's just a waiting game to see what happens. I'm curious as to what the fix will be but I don't I'll find out. I'll post again once it's returned.

Tragedii for Mii

I've been enjoying my Wii since the middle of December and now Tragedii has struck. My system is having issues with it's graphics processor and needs to be send in for repairs. You can see some screens of a similar issue with another guy here. So far I've called Nintendo and they're getting me set up to send in the system for repair. I'll post how everything goes from now until I get the console back.
