It was 29 degrees this morning, and I am wondering if my pipes are still OK in the motorhome...? But most likely they are... It was only below freezing for about 4 hours, but that is about all I like to see for an exposure when we aren't there and running some kind of heat...
It is to warm up again later in the week, but then they have said that over and over here and winter refuses to go away....
Tomorrow is the rescheduled motorcycle luncheon... The day is forecast to be in the low 60s, but that is in the afternoon... The low overnight is to be 36... And since we need to leave by 9 AM, it might be still in the lower 40s as I depart.... My son just looked at me and said that is nuts...
The ride back home in the afternoon could be quite nice however.... if I can just stand it to go....
On the computer front, Rick suggested that I use Windows Easy Transfer System to move my files.... which is a good idea, But! When starting out with a new system, there is whole lot of stuff on the older machine that has been drug in over the past bunch of time... I always want to leave that kind of thing behind.. To start all over again... With a clean slate.....
I like to re install all of the packages again from scratch, in order to get the latest versions and appropriate versions for the new operating system... And as far as personal stuff, I again leave a lot of old things behind.... pictures and downloads that I used on the blogs and stuff... I found them once, so they will be there again if I need them.... Out on the web that is...
So I go thru it the slow and dedicated way, deciding what to use and what to leave behind... Besides, I'm retired and it gives me something to do as an accomplishment for the day.... Did I just admit that?
Man we need the weather to straighten up out side. I want to go to the Hamfest over in Dayton again this year, and freezing to death while doing it doesn't sound fun.....
We had the youngest grand child here this afternoon, so that doesn't give us much to write about other than a fun playful afternoon...
And just for everyone's information, I didn't have half as many people read the computer backup info blog as I have been averaging for the last several weeks.... People don't want to know about techie things so much....

I read it Rod, just didn't understand it. Dress warm and get out there tomorrow for the ride. We're retired, we can be nuts. Tell Loyce hi for me.
ReplyDeleteI work in computers/networking for a living. When I did blog about tech things the ones that did comment on it were very thankful but the views were always way down.
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to hear about it but they become VERY interested when they have a problem and YOUR phone number.

Why didn't you just say you enjoy being a 'masochist' and transferring everything to a new computer manually? Actually, I do the exact same thing with my own computers but I do use Windows Easy Transfer with friends and family because it's, well, Easy!!
ReplyDeleteI've never actually checked to see how many folks read my blog when I write about techie stuff - maybe I should!!
I find blog reading these days has more to do with how much time I have to sit and go from one to the next. Some days it's just not in the cards.
ReplyDeleteYour pipes in the RV should be fine. PEX tubing is pretty resilient to a brief cold snap, although it's never a good idea to push ones luck. Sure hope there's no little surprise waiting for you.
