Rant for the Day (keep it clean)

My local PC shop can yank info from a busted drive and put it on another for 50$

Don't know, don't care, I have reentered everything and backed it up this time
The computer is a 15 some year old HP I bought refurbished for like $50 about 15 years ago. I am not even going to try fixing it daughter can fix computers , she could probably fix it, but this one is not worth it. Not sure what else was on there I might need, all the previous tax stuff is printed out before we sent it to the accountant

I was more interested in trying to save your data, not the computer it was hosted on.

The silver lining to this is that you have learned the value of always keeping good backups.

Y! the dude can drain a busted HD and transfer it over to another one, I've had it done twice now.

If you know what type of hard drive is inside the laptop you can have your daughter take it out and use an inexpensive transfer case to transfer the data to another drive. We had to do this for Mom's computer and for mine a few times to upgrade to better SSD drives.

I bought the wrong size cinch rings for fixing my plumbing and had to make a trip to the hardware store this morning. Then I realized that the fitting I was trying to connect to was 3/4" to 1/2" and I thought it was all 3/4" so I got the wrong adapters. Fortunately I dug up 1/2" elbow fitting I could use. Hopefully it will hold.

Gonna suck cleaning the toilet in Mom's bathroom. It got pretty nasty with my brother using it.

My chronic fatigue has been hitting me again so I'm going to need a nap soon.
