Made my dad a 64th birthday gift. My entire Beatles collection on cd. 16 albums on 17 discs complete with jewel cases and album artwork. I only wish I could get him to embrace some sort of iPod/mp3 player. The only reason I got him to give up his beloved cassette tapes is because his DeVille came with a CD player. Lol.

Roller coaster day! And its only 1030!

Tstorms knock power out
But not at work
Powers out at home too
As I send my wife a text to thank her for constantly nagging me about not carrying house keys, (gotta love her!)
I sat in the driveway.
Over the morning show on radio I hear a weird noise. My next door neighbor has her fingers pinched in between the sections on garage door as she closed it! (2.5yrs never a word or wave f her, wife says she drives terrible too) I bolt over and thank God they are the new plastic composite material. She was on her way to an interview. Told her to take a few minutes and bring an ice pack, hopefully they are understanding!

Power comes back on minutes later. Head to my parents because I can store used oil there. Wife's car is good to go.

And mom grilled me two burgers already because she had to leave. Weekend is here and I don't have responsibilities until Sunday afternoon!
time to eat

Put my big boy pants on, and rooted my phone for the first time. :wootwoot:

Also determined the 64GB micro SD card I bought to go with it is messed up. Won't allow me to play my music and is having read/write issues. Old 8GB SD card and onboard memory plays nice. Can anyone say EXCHANGE!! :mad:

I did, and I had heard the same. The seller I bought it from noted that they open all their packages to test their cards prior to selling them to avoid that, so I took a chance on it. I don't have a ton of stuff on my smaller card, so it's not a major problem (right now) just an annoyance. Now to get all this bloatware off of here!

Figured out the issue here. The SD card adapter is supposed to have a write protection slider on the side, but does not. When trying to do anything on my laptop, the adapter caused the write protection to activate with no way to turn it off to reformat :weird: My desktop has a card reader with a micro SD slot, so I took a chance, and tried to format it there. That did the trick. Now all is right in the world :cool:

Hopefully your market is better than around here or you are selling cheap because average listing times around here are 6 months to a year. Buying is quick, but too many houses on the market right now for quick sales. Buyers have far more power than sellers now around here.

Good Luck though. Selling and buying and moving is a demanding time.

Well after a hard day at work as usual :frown: I was driving home and as I was getting onto tollway a black 2014 sierra blew by me. It had the dealer tags on it so I knew he had to have worked at the local gmc dealer. So I decided to stop by the gmc closer to my home and let me say that next to my trailblazer that is the next best looking gm truck ever made. Took it for a test drive and absolutely quiet, interior is by far the best. Soft to the touch leather buttons etc. Definitely gets up and go for a full-size truck lol

The market here is just like everywhere else, over crowded and selling cheaply. We think we priced it lower than most of the ones for sale around the area so it should sell pretty quickly. And we have gone and looked at some houses just in case this one sales we have an idea of which house we want. Thanks for the luck I need all I can get.

Sitting here at work, trying to recall if i switched the ground side or the power side of my led strips. I'm guessing i switched the ground side, and that sucks.

The perp you replied to has been banned as a spammer and reported to a central database of Internet abusers so he'll have a hard time signing up for other forums. I've called the phone number of the web site he was trying (incompetently) to advertise (it's actually just south of me in San Diego), and am waiting on a callback from the owner. If they want to avoid total blacklisting, they'll cease the abuse. They have no frickin' idea whose forum he spammed here. :mad:

Next time anybody's suspicious about new members with nonsense profiles or useless posts, just press the red triangle button and alert the mods. We are absolute DEATH on spammers.

You'll be interested to know he ALSO made a profile on Trailvoy that lives on unmolested. No mods over there at all, and only one poor overworked admin who's too busy worrying about impure thoughts to care about spammers. Spammers increase the post count AND the membership numbers so they're all welcomed on trailvoy with open arms. :raspberry:

Drove up to our farm by Storm Lake to clean up high wind damage that knocked over 5- 100 year old trees. So much rain here I'm not sure Rich will finish planting on our last 60 acres-too wet. Need to drag this rain back down to Texas when I leave on Sat.

The funny part is that I know that I don't know everything about this platform, so I definately googled it first. LoL. I was pretty sure 2009 was it, but i just wanted to make sure before i called him on it.

Who is the manufacturer?
You didn't defrag it did you? :eek::sly:

Computers are my specialty so if anyone has issues let me know!

It's an OCZ Vertex drive. Didn't get a chance to do anything with it (online). My file server went offline last night, left it until I got home tonight. Drive isn't detected in the bios. Swapped slots and cables with known good devices, still not detected. Put it in another PC as a secondary drive, still not seen by the other mobo's bios either. I've been in and out of the computer scene over the years, but if you know of another troubleshooting technique, I'd love to hear it. :compu-punch:

Yeah you did pretty much everything I can think of as far as troubleshooting the SSD goes, it's probably fried. Be glad that it's still under manufacturer warranty lol. Before you put a new SSD into it though, I would see if a regular hard drive works and is recognized by the server. And works fine for a a day or two just to rule out the psu as the cause of your fried drive.
