The Blog has been inactive a long time...

I am getting old and forgetful... yes I admit it... "I am old!"  Zooming right up to 71 very soon.

I changed my password for some reason and then I promptly forgot it.  That was fine for a while and then we took a power surge from a nearby lightning strike.  It fried the back up power supply and surge protector and I replaced them... great... all is well... Everything was backed up on an external hard drive.

Then I noticed gremlins.  The hard drive apparently took a hit also.  The computer would go to sleep when it wanted to and it wouldn't wake up... I ran the disk utility and the hard drive had been damaged.  No problem you can just eliminate the damaged area and tell the computer not to use that area.  That being done I restored from the external hard drive.  That almost did it but there was three windows drivers that need to be replaced or repaired.  I got two repaired but then I had to manually reinstall the main problem driver... for the USB... 

After many hours and days of restoring the hard drive I could not restore the USB driver so I gave up.

So I sit at a new computer now and of course it didn't have that new password stored in its memory...  so I have been locked out of my account until I remembered my password today...  back in business.
