Good morning all. Sean, you sure know how to provide a good start to my day. Thank you very much. My stomach thanks you. Or is that ewe?

Heidi, did that deep wash do any major damage to your toy? Hope that you learned not to use pebbles and next time use a boulder. That reminds me, down here it is common to see road signs that say "Do not leave rocks on the road". That is because so many vehicles do not have a functioning parking brake and if they stop on the side of the highway, they use the closest rock to stop the vehicle running away. Then they leave it there when they drive away. Very dangerous for the next guy driving by, especially at night.

The last couple of days have been quite nice, until about 7 p.m. That is when the clouds suddenly roll in and the heavens open. We have had quite a show lately with thunder that shakes the entire house and then a short, but sharp deluge.

Been working very hard to finish installing an airline system at the orphanage where I volunteer. By the time I finish, there will be 3 regulated outlets and 8 line pressure outlets. Three water drains. Expect to finish that job tomorrow. Then move on to some electrical work. One breaker has too many plugs on it, so will make that three breakers. Decided to bite the bullet and run new wire and make new plugs in three places. Will be using #12 type C (BX) armored wire. Will never run out of work at that place.

Now that my morning lime, honey and apple cider vinegar drink is finished, it is time for a coffee. See yuh.

Greetings.
Sean, nice work on the spread!

I finally got a decent sleep since after upheaval day. It's effected us deeply.

Bruised ribs have surfaced, bruised elbow and shoulder are better. Partial tear in my right pec, not anywhere close to the surgery though. Just takes time to heal.

I fixed the tail gate cap that caused the slip.

Held my wife and daughter a few times as they grieved over the loss of their young friend. Sad

Ok time to oink out on some vittles and thrash my elder twin's LEGGS with some barb wire.

Good thing... I read where lots of people are getting stuck in a revolving update boot issue due to some bad code that you get from one of their automatic updates you can't stop.....if that happens there is a way to fix it until they issue a official fix for it.

Luckily not everyone has the problem but for lots of unlucky people it corrupts a code in the registry that wont allow the update to work...so you have to reboot and then it tries to update again but can't so reboot again it never stops

I am waiting awhile to let them get the bugs worked out before I switch over.

You should have said hi!... I wasn't actually living in that car just visiting for an extended stay.....I was testing a new deodorant that claimed it kept working even after several months of not bathing

I had the code error when I first tried. A bad download that kept 10 from loading. Didn't effect 7 at all. Got a fresh download and that worked, just took several hours to do it. The biggest hassle so far is cleaning the junkware out of it and getting rid of apps I either won't use or have no idea what they are for. But, for the men time it works similar enough to windows 7 that I can continue to use it. I need windows for dummies class.

I started Saturday morning to upload 10. Took a while, but loaded and worked. However, later in the day got a dreaded blue screen saying "back up immediately, hard disk error"

Short version, no backup possible. Back to DOS doing file by file. I think I got most of the important stuff. I hope so, because at this point, the drive is making lots of clicks and weird noises. Looks like it's time to fix it.

I am storing my old 98 12 valve for a bit. The guy that bought it is moving. He left me a full tank and the keys!
