Aquarobic Air Pump Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo. The Aquarobic System is what powers our septic system at the lake. Somehow, when it was installed over 22 years ago, I became the custodian of the system.

Tranquil Channel Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo. We took the boat out for a cruise on the lake this afternoon. It’s a great day, very calm and hot which made for great boating.

Well, literally I’m back up and running with a new disk and most of my software and data recovered. There are still several key files that I’m trying to recover via software, but that’s not going too well and as time passes, hope dims. Thanks to having a second disk on hand which I could Read More …

This is what greets me on the screen of my IBM T40 Thinkpad this morning at 8am. Initially, I’m not to worried, but after a couple of re-boot attempts, it begins to sink in – I’ve lost my disk. This is the kind of thing that happens to other people, not me. The T40 has Read More …
