Hey there...

[Lance Dean]

So where did everyone run off to lately?  It's hot outside, you ought to be inside making posts here!

What say ye?

Yesterday was our annual Pignic - two roasted pig and over a 100 people attended.  I had mess duty and it was hot behind the grill.

That sounds good as long as there was some beans too.

Beans, two roast pig, hamburgers, hot dogs, pork roll, all sorts of salads. And lots of shipmates!  You should have been there.

My wife and I were at the Batfish and yes it was hot.

Just got my copy of Battle 360 from the History Channel so think I'll stay inside and watch it today

I'm still around, but I've had a bit of computer trouble. My external 500GB HD decided to head for lala land. I tore it apart and mounted it internally as a sata. The bios and drive manager recognises it, but as unallocated. I am going to buy a new Seagate 500GB sata drive and once it is working I will see if my local dealer can recover some of the data on the WD drive. I had about 350GB on it.

Always backup the backup with a backup!  These PC's will stop without warning and you need to backup a lot.  Files should be put on CD's (two copies) all the time.  I'm sure you do some of this now - but others need to know they have to backup.

[nomad66]

I always backup files that are important. In this case I was waiting to get a bunch of family pics organized for backup and then the drive failed. About 90% of the files are just downloads that I can always download again. I am installing another internal HD tonight and then see if the computer shop can recover some of the pics. They quoted a price of $50 to recover the files.

Well, I finally won one of those Springfield barometers on eBay.  I've been tinkering with that in an attempt to get it to match my electronic barometer.

Yep, that's what I've been up to.  That and learning how to convert movie files and how to incorporate Flash movies into html.

Yesterday I was out playing paintball. Today i went out with a friend and we tested out our Ghilly suits. And I have been away from the Batfish for awhile as im back in colorado to visit with family and friends before college starts up in Oklahoma.

Back to work - day two - in at 0500 as usual for another long day.   

[Lance Dean]

Just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support.  I've been slacking a tiny bit here lately.  The weather here has been too perfect to miss by being inside!  We've been around 55 degrees F in the mornings and highs have been around 85 degrees F in the afternoons.  But even better is the low humidity, rare around here.

I've been getting numerous small projects done that have been needing attention.  I'm sure this won't last long, it will be freezing here before we know it.

Lance, please write up a summary of the two things you have been doing with movies and I'll add it to our computer tips page. The computer tips page goes out to, not just the USSVI bases, but to all of Tim's clients. They are one of the most looked at pages, so what you are experimenting with will help a lot of people. If you write it simple enough, I might even understand it. (Grin)

It's a garage sale weekend.  So we're busy busy BUSY as you can imagine.  We're just trying to enjoy the nice weather.

I'm tired.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Oh, and thanks to you all.  We broke the 80 members mark and over 5,000 posts!

Had a great day today.  Sold some junk and our couch and chair (NOT my Lay-Z-Boy recliner of course) so Emily had just enough to get a new couch.  I'm tired, so very tired.

Going to the Drum a week from today hopefully.
