Your "cement mixer" is mislabeled. It is actually a rain making machine.

I'm dealing with a bricked Seagate 7200.12 hard drive. Anybody have any experience with this.

At this point it looks like I can take a chance and move the s-flash chip to another circuit board and try it, or send the board out for professional repair. These things have hardware encrypted firmware, so simply moving a board from another drive doesn't work.

There's several hundred hours of work, and 300 GB of DVD authoring data on it.

 

The goodies that I left on the counter this morning were in old donut boxes, BUT, the contents were NOT donuts!!! Now, just what do you think that you ate?

 

If that is true then I need to ship it to Soulezoo so it will rain in California and kill that King Fire!

 

Afternoon kids. Been a busy morning in the shop and I haven't touched a wrench yet.

 

HEY!!!!!!
Anybody here? Lary, wake up and bring your trash cans and bugle.
What is happening here?
Where are the DTR stalwarts?

Seems like I am making coffee and ph00 for nobody, but here they are anyway. Not going to leave any goodies if there is no one to eat them. Maybe someone else will bring some later IF anybody shows up.

Got things to do, so am gone.

 

Thanks for the Coffee Stan I came through here at 5am and everybody was sleeping so soundly I didn't have the heart to wake them up...

Bran muffins on the counter and Stan's coffee is still hot...come and get em!

 

You didn't have the heart????? You going soft in your old age? In the past between you and Shortround nobody got any sleep after about 04:00. You guys sure made a ruckus. In fact, you were downright mean!

Happy Tuesday all y'all. It is going to be another glorious day on the edge of the Canadian prairies with gentle wind, clear blue skies and temperatures in the high 70's. That is a heck of an improvement over the snow storms 2 weeks ago. Now that the fields have dried out, the combines are running pretty much 24 hours a day harvesting the wheat, barley and canola that drives our economy and feeds millions.
I hope everyone has a safe and productive day doing whatever it is that you do

 

The 3 dozen Krispie Kreme's that didn't survive the trip to the breakroom..........whatcha talkin bout Willis??

 

Heat wave over here. 29c today. Near 90.
Lary was on the Bon Homme. He's the one that said I've not shown my Leggs enough.

 

Obviously Commander John Paul Jones understood the pure "Shock and Awe" value my Leggs had back then and thus he was not required to "begin to fight"

 

This LEGGS stuff is almost as bad as shrews named Sam. When is it going to end???? .......................................

Hey Stan, have patience - - not all of us lay around all day with nothing to do like you. I had to go see Mr. Doc this morning. Soooo, just now grabbing my ph00. Thanks - - ...........................................wow, not bad for a taco man. Oh, Doc seemed to think I night live a little longer. He wanted to know why I lost 10 pounds since last visit. I hadn't noticed except people seeing me noted I looked thinner. Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, gone,

Bob

 

Hey Bob, I agree on the LEGGS and shrew stuff. Kinda like a recurring nightmare. There is no off switch.

Yeah right! It would be sorta nice if I could lay around all day, or even half a day with nothing to do. Always on the go with lots to do. Love to read, but lately have not even had much time for that. Maybe one day when I retire Been outside working all morning, working up a sweat and only now had a shower. It is getting close to lunch time, so need to be smelling a little less obnoxious for that major daily event.

 

There....fixed it for you

Glad you finally got around to that...we noticed an odd smell in the break room this morning

Dang Straight Son!.....wash and wax those Leggs and get with the program!
