The shop did NOT NOT NOT back up my old "Users" folder...
which contains, among other things, all my old Thunderbird
eMail!!! I *NEED* those eMails because there are a few which
contain software product keys... which I need to reinstall a
few pieces of software. Most importantly, a full system
restore which will take me right back to where I was before
upgrading to Win10.
I have sent them a message and left a voicemail for them to
call me when they open today. HOPEFULLY that folder was
just overlooked during the rebuild.
Anything else, I do not care.
By the way...
poor, poor bear 
all appendages crossed!
@ atty > i'm ready for my official dunce report oil leak on lawn mower has been traced and is no longer a threat!
recap - a few weeks ago oil light started flashing and since it coincided with bil's visit i sent him down to the garage to check this out. his report > oil level seemed to be ok but, as a precaution, he topped it off anyhow!
soon after i noticed an oil leak on the garage floor. with no fellas around i decided i'd first drain the oil. then i found reports online that occasionally the oil drain plug on this motor leaks. out came the instructions to locate that drain and, lo and behold, here was the explanation of my flashing light! the light will flash for 2 hours of operation, from 50 hours to 52 hours, to signal it's time for an oil change
so, it appeared to me there was a real possibility that dear bil's 'topping off' was finding its way out this has now been confirmed - no new oil splatters on the garage floor 
i'm wearing my official dunce cap and decided i will follow kawasaki's recommendation to change the oil at 100 hrs. mostly, because i still haven't figured out this oil drain business!
