Aside from the constant annoying pop-ups, yesterday morning it required a restart after updating. Then the PC went into an infinite boot loop. I got it to boot in safe mode, then tried restoring to the last safe point. And then it began to infinite loop again. So I wound up backing up some files and then restoring a clean Win10 state.

I just paid them for 3 months. And now the smart phone won't let me sign in to my email. It is painful being an analog man in a digital world.

Depends on how much you spend to repair and maintenance BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand If it takes thousands instead of a thousand, its a ship :-) 2nd best day in a boat owners life is when you buy a boat Best day is when you sell it :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Ain't ya never heard of beer fishing? As other boaters go out for a day of fishing, you pass them a can of beer in hopes of getting a fish as they return. Its the same thing with maintenance tasks: paint parties, fittings, gaskets and hoses get inspected by half drunk revelers but at least they get inspected, Mold eradication ain't all that bad if you buy the "Clorox" in bulk. A tank of sodium hypochlorite ain't cheap but its cheaper than buying fifty gallons of bleach at a grocery store. Low pressure baking powder is cheaper than high pressure sand blasting. There are maintenance yards where you can live and some people pick up odd jobs there as well. Now I'll admit there may be a labor problem: ever try to get a Crust Punk to put in a full day's work? Ever try to get a Rainbow couple pried apart long enough to even get started on a job? Here is an important boating safety tip: when a young girl is in the mood to commune with the Sun God, rather than work, don't ever forget she has has a fish knife on her hip and it ain't there for decoration. Boating maintenance and repair ain't difficult once you learn to impose on your friends. |

It ain't easy scheduling sunshine, on America's second largest Island, especially at temps that allow fiberglass to cure. Both the grid and the boat lift get crowded during salmon season and working space at the boatyard can be at a premium, and hoping the ship chandlery has one in your size.
