My Great Pyrenees would be in heaven right now.

See, I woulda said, You dang, Skippy.


But I didn't think of it.

I love calling them Skippers
It’s like they’re caught somewhere between Gilligan’s island and Sailor Moon

People in Minnesota would say this is barbecue weather

Probably why we don’t ask Minnesota people things

Suggestion for something to do today:

There is a Shirtless wonder jogging down St. Charles

Guido is that you?

Is this who you saw?

Gotta look into it again. Last time I checked -- around 2012 -- it was around $600 to maybe get the files off, no guarantees. I think if they can get the hard drive to spin, they can get the files. The disc isn't physically damaged.

If it’s clicking, they have to open it up in a clean room and replace parts. Cost is obviously way up there.

Otherwise, it’s possible to get the data off at home, but I wouldn’t risk it with irreplaceable data. We got some off of flooded Katrina drives, but those were always risky.

Pr0n on a snow day?

 

[Nisey55]

I've been singing Y.M.C.A. all day.

Shirtless?

Dang -- the rug inside the front door is drenched now. I thought the snow magically stayed outside when people went back and forth?

KIds laid down some towels

I'm about 99% sure (but going from memory) that it never made a clicking noise. One day, the computer just wouldn't boot up ... it was essentially inert. Can't recall a noise, a lot like the machine was unplugged, say. Made me think something that was supposed to make the hard drive spin just failed suddenly and that was it.

Might make a new thread about it after the snow stuff.

EDIT: If it makes a difference ... it would be fine with me if they destroyed the hard drive in the process of getting the files off of it. Not sure if that would allow them to skip the clean room or not.

Around here, AT-ATs would me marching in Endymion. Drunk "snowtroopers" tethered on to the interior, throwing cups out of the side doors.

And the things would drop a hunk of metal out of their hindquarters every few blocks.
