Morning, mixers.

Seems the guessers went all out, looks like 3 sunny days in a row!

Did give the dandelions their needed hair cut yesterday, so done until the next sunny day, sometime next week if the guessers are right.

There’s a nursery we like that she’ll probably go to another time.

Usually get healthier plants that way.

    I ordered a new computer for the wife last night. Her old one had some hard disk failures last week and Windows ran an automatic fix program. She mostly uses it for watching videos. Only 20% of her 1TB disk was used so I got a smaller disk, but SSD. More memory, DDR5. It should be a lot faster. Now I have to figure out the transfer. I'm thinking of getting PCmover to save myself some boring manual work. Still expecting several days of round the clock brain stress. She's busy now writing down all her passwords in a book.

    Anyone here done this recently?

    Once that's finished I can get one for myself. Similar but with more memory and a decent video card so I can play games that came out after 2012.

    I got a tower rather than all in one or laptop. Mainly because I want them to be upgradable and repairable.

    Both of our computers are over ten years old. Going from Win 10 to Win 11. Win 11 seems to be getting past some of its earlier problems. Fingers crossed on that. You can't buy a new computer with Win 10 now. And they don't come with DVD/CD drives as standard anymore, you have to get a plugin USB box if you want to use disks.

    Not recently, but some time ago. Yeah, programs to make it (relatively) painless are the way to go. There are several, so check around for one that will do what you want at the best price.

    Yup, do most of my "work" on a tower, same reasons :) Do have a laptop for travel, but that's about all I use that for, so specs (other than storage for pics ;) ) weren't a priority.

    Hope it goes good.


    I wish it had. I had a light load and got halfway through without issue. I was in one of the old clunker LLVs because the last of the nicer vans had a driver's door that wouldn't open from the outside, so I switched and wish I hadn't. Halfway through the route, my vehicle wouldn't start. I called in and a tow truck was going to be called. Immediately after that, I got the darn thing started. I called in again and was told to drive back to the post office and switch vehicles. I switched to the van with the stuck door. I just had to keep the window down so I could open it from the inside. Once I got back on route, everything was fine, but I lost nearly an hour with the vehicle switch.

    Not good but it sure could have been worse.
