Subj : weather was: food option To : BARRY MARTIN From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Dec 29 2019 12:13:00 Barry, BM>I'm thinking more of that something else than air. You're not hollow, BM>so muscle, for one thing. ...What were you thinking??!! Exhaust pipe emissions (think SBD) . BM>Right: can't control but can prepare and protect. ...And buy a scythe BM>for that high grass -- lawnmower won't handle! Or get a group of goats to graze. :P BM>The table or what the computers were on wasn't the issue, it was dust BM>in the air and/or lubricant in the fan that was: bound/thickened up or BM>otherwise caused the fan to stop rotating. As far as what the computers BM>themselves are, definitely stable if not sometimes overly so. If it's "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust", someone under the bed is coming or going. BM>I usually thinking in total capacity rather than partitioned. That did BM>screw me up a little with a computer I bought years ago. Mine had BM>suddenly died -- bought one as didn't have time nor easy availablity to BM>order the parts (pre-laptops). Got the new computer, put my stuff in BM>from backups, works - good - how come my disk space is half used BM>already? Ended up they manufacturer had partitioned the hard drive in BM>half but no mention, not even in the volume lable, was just "C:\". BM>Oddly (to me anyway) when I did 'discover' the D: partition it had a BM>lable -- think it was "DATA". I had to put the website deals on the laptop in the Documents folder, in their own separate directories. BM> DS> Especially when it comes to getting out of a parking space. BM>Nah: park in a pull-through! I'm not always that lucky. BM>I would too! LIS, for what I do the smaller thumbdrives tend to make BM>more sense. I tend to use them more like subdirs on a hard drive and BM>smaller projects. Well, once I get the item published, I won't save the old data on the thumb drive...it'll be on the websites. BM>BTW, I did find out something a little while back but haven't tried it. BM>I have been doing a lot of Sneakernet up here -- insert thumbdrive in BM>Computer A, copy in file, remove thumbdrive, walk a few feet to this BM>computer, insert thumbdrive, work on the file.... USB cable between BM>the two would make sense, though something's telling me there's a BM>problem. Eventually read the problem is the 5v power lines -- don't BM>want to connect the two computers together that way! They do make BM>special USB cables with just the data lines, so no power issues. So far BM>not worth the cost of the cable, plus would be another wire to string up BM>here. Yeah, some of those USB deals need to be plugged to a hub that also has AC power. I swap the thumb drive between the 2 computers...need to figure out how to transfer files over the LAN. BM> BM>Probably better you told it: that motherly delivery of "I love you but BM> BM>do it again...." BM> DS> "...and I'll give you something to cry about". BM>I remember Dad using that line a few times on me. Same here. BM>I have mine set for nightly; the BBS is a virtual machine so rides the BM>coattails of main machine, and I prefer to have what I did that day BM>backed up. Well, the backup was done yesterday morning, as the storms didn't arrive until later that day. BM>LIS in the previous message it's raining here -- currently not nearly a BM>hard as it was. Still 35ø. Couple of days ago got to 62ø; lately just BM>in the mid- to upper-50's. Possibility of thunderstorms tonight and BM>maybe a stray snowshower tomorrow morning. No winter weather for us for awhile. BM>The one here is close to twenty, so time to keep a closer watch on it BM>than have been, No signs of curling. That's reserved for hair at the beauty parlor. BM> DS> Many of the homes in south Florida area had the Spanish barrel BM> DS> tiles. BM>Can't imagine from what influence! I thought it was cool of the way shadows were created from them. BM> Reminds me: I think I'll have a refill due so should ask where I BM>am on the Shingrex list -- nationwide backlog. Would prefer to not be BM>wearing a thick sweater and shiirt and try to roll up the sleeve! I had to take off my long sleeve shirt to get the flu shot. I'm waiting for them to say "it has to go in the hip", and I have to drop the pants and underwear. But, Walgreens has a "small private enclosed room, where only the customer and the nurse/pharmacist are for the vaccination. And, they've seen it all before. BM>I've definitely had Chicken Pox and the original vaccine. LIS in an BM>earlier paragraph just waiting until my turn comes up for the new-and- BM>improved vaccine as I don't want a Shingles episode. My PCP said I didn't need the shot for shingles again. I hope he's right. With such a severe attack of the chicken pox, I doubt I'll get it again. BM>Some are a necessity: car, house.... Can't think of another general BM>catagory right now. Toilet.
