where the default locations are.
I have the same problem as your wife Paul.
Little gremlins reside in my pc and at night they move stuff around.
It's saved, but where? I wind up having to resave a bunch on my desktop just to make sure
I can find it. Software keeps chosing OneDrive, I want c:/doc or pics or whatever.
Gremlins, I'm sure of it.

New Dell pc shows up any day now.
Two year warranty against gremlins
After 8 years this current pc is seriously clogged up with with accumulated baggage, huge timely boot process, slowing down.
New one is fast and 500MB SSD and 2 TB storage. Hard to imagine outgrowing that.
Plus a much better video board to optimize this better monitor. Though it does say 3840x2160 when I right click the screen.

now to work on the Klipsch speakers and see what cable I'm missing, likely a simple stereo RCA.

David, probably too late now but I know there is a rule about warranty that if it is a known manufacturing fault then even if it is out of warranty it should be covered.
I had issues with Ford F Series manifolds cracking and took it up with them. They replaced all manifolds that cracked from there on for free. The vehicles were well out of warranty. (I looked after a fleet of them once)

Wow, Doug, how long ago was that? And I wonder if they would do the same thing here in Canada? (We do, after all, have the same Queen, LOL.)

I had a cracked manifold a couple of F150’s ago, and it was fixed under warranty. But my current F150 (with the 5.0 litre engine) is past the warranty date, and it would be nice to know if Ford would still fix a cracked manifold if it happened again.

I have a relatively complicated audio setup or my computer in the shop, but it works well. I have a rack mount audio interface, with multiple mic preamps as well as outputs. I use one set of outputs to drive a pair of studio monitors that I use for mixing audio, but also work well for general listening. Another set of outputs go across the room to line mixer that outputs to an old Peavey PA amp that drives speakers downstairs in the workshops or upstairs as desired. That line mixer also has inputs from an XM receiver, Cassette and CD/DVD and FIOS set top box as well as the computer.

In the house, it’s Bluetooth headphones and an iPad.

Good morning. It's 51° here this morning with a 9 mph NE wind. We should get to 67° this afternoon.

I did get two more brush piles burned Wednesday a.m. while we had no wind.

They were about 100 yards apart to easy to monitor both but I still offset lighting by about 30 minutes.

We had a few drying days so I'll attempt to extract a tree I took down about ten days ago.

It's in an area ..that drains about 4-5 acre as of our front yard so I'm trying to avoid making large ruts.

I ordered two more 8' fixtures with 4 LED Tubes for the shop and they were delivered a couple of days ago. They match the five fixtures that run the length of the center of the shop and will be installed on the left side .. in the picture.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Prayers to all.

I leave a pancake compressor on all the time. My larger compressor is in my old shed, gets turned off unless I forget.

Yesterday was a lazy day, dealt with a leaking circulator at my neighbors, did a little refrigeration work at the restaurant, but the high light was trying to explain file organization and storage structure to my wife.
She is constantly “losing” things on her computer, and then getting mad about it. I think that we actually made progress, she now understands basic folder and file structure and where the default locations are. Time will tell.

.

That brought back a memory of me teaching my wife about formatting disk drives back in the DOS days.
C:\format a:

And she types in
C:\format c:

And wonders why I yelled.

I still loose files, even with a file system of organization.

Late Last night I was removing a database management application from my son’s new computer (he installed wrong one), and the curser jumped down a row unnoticed to me( using touchpad) when I right clicked and said remove, and I removed his MS office. Fortunately, log into his MS account, it has his license key and link to download, so an easy but slow fix. I was up till 2am. He’s up that late every night doing schoolwork.

Very sunny here this morning, but looks are deceptive - it's 28F @ 09:00 with winds out of the NW @ 10 - 20 mph. Feels like 23F out there.

So looking forward to warmer weather.

Did not get squirrel feeder refilled yesterday, so that will be near the top of the list today.

The swarms of blackbirds have all but disappeared ... mostly just the normal crew at this point.

Had a good long call/welfare check with some friends yesterday - they are doing well ... (y)

Fed four white worm containers which were finally ready for some food ... looks like they're shaping up to yield a bumper crop.

More gravel removed from living room tank yesterday and hauled downstairs to the stationary tubs and washed. Have one straggler to net out of there and move this morning and then can pull the rest of the stuff in the tank.

Need to check and see what pieces/lengths still need to be cut for the rest of the air and water line plumbing in the fish room. Don't think there's much left to do, just mostly on one wall to tie the loops together.

Also need to switch the softener over to bypass and draw water for the refill on the living room tank.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Saturday ... (y)

Good morning! 47˚F heading to the mid 60s
It looks like 1-c in Texas will be essential workers, the vaccines are becoming more prevalent and I suspect by the end of the mont we will be starting 1-c. If you aer healthy, retired and under 65 you are at the bottom of the list, like my better half.

I qualify for 1c essential, but the cvs signup does not show that as a reason.
