60+ year old thread.

Sucks Jim. I think I have neen there myself ones a while back.

 

Dammit! Really sorry Jim...nothing I could say to ease that pain/anger. More and more certain every passing day that I'm gonna go MAC.

 

Here's a pic from the passenger side looking in. What questions do you need cleared up? I can try to get a pic of specifically what you're looking for.

 

evening all: not good! just like everything, too many A holes out there that think they're being funny.

 

Sorry to hear that, Jim!! I had a similar situation a few years back. Now I am totally overboard with security and run 2 back-ups of all my important stuff and pictures of different hard drives.

 

Morning All,,, We will get over this but feel like house was got into. The only thing that hurts was the old pics. Some of the now gone dad in law and the old dogs hurt.. Jim

 

Jim:
Have you taken the HD to an IT professional to see if they can recover the data?

 

YES 200 $ JUST TO SEE WHAT HE CAN SAVE.. Not worth it as the thing is 8 years old and just going to get a new one when we can. When one of the kids comes home from school going to let him see if he can save the old pics. Thats all we want out of it,,, it has over 200 bugs it it so its gone not worth trying to clean up... Jim

 

Sorry for the loss of old photos. Did you have any of them printed off and placed in a photo album? When I lost a photo HD my saving grace was we had the best ones printed off for a photo album.

I am in the camp of saving them in multiple places as well.

 

Afternoon all you youngun's ...was upstate this weekend and had beautiful weather all weekend...had to ruin it all by going to work on Monday morning...the missus and I took the granddaughter for dinner and shopping last night so didn't get a chance to get on...

Hope all the projects going on out there are successful ones...rusty bolts can be a real bear but I always found PB Blaster will evetually do the job..
Jim, hope the kids can save the pics...I lost a bunch when my drive took a crap but now I have a back up drive and I put them on disc's..

Good idea Tom!

 

He sais that he took it in to try and recover the data but the HD coukd not be salvaged,

I bet the NSA would be able to recover the data.

 

Hi Tom
There are places that can recover data from a bad HD, but it is veeeeerrrrryyyyy expensive...when my first HD cooked, I took it in and the IT guy couldn't get anything off it...went online with the laptop and found a few recovery guys but they wanted over a thousand $$$$ with no gaurentees....If I owned a company and needed the files it would be worth it but for what I had on the HD not so much...Ken

 

Evening all!

Success on the trailer hitch front!! I took the truck to a local garage that does work for the college and they loosened the offending bolt. Once that was done, it took about an hour to do the whole install including the wiring harness - did it by myself so I only had one set of hands to blaance things.

I'm pleased with the quality of the Hidden Hitch and it fits snugly - directions are easy to follow for both the hitch and the harness. The kit I got also has a connector plug for the brake light connectorthat mounts into a pre-drilled opening in the hitch. No loose wire flopping around to tie up now. Sweet.

So sorry to hear that the HD is gone, Jim. That truly does suck.

 

evening all: mark, sounds like you'r satisfied with the hitch, and it sounds like it's a really nice one.
split rock (lake harmony) has a gun show coming up. small, but usually not too bad. of course when you go to harrisburg, and syracuse, you get spoiled.

 

I like to go to the Allentown show. Next one is 12 & 13 May.

 

'Lo all, just found this place.

 

Hi, George!! Welcome. Pull up a chair and join us. Great bunch of folks here.

 

Thanks Mark. Sounds like a good bunch, geezers rule ya know

'Big Red One' huh? I hung out with a few of those boys at one time.

 

evening all

Sorry 'bout your computer Jim... I don't back up as often as I should Some stuff I could care less about, but I have to have my pics!!! Hope your son can get them back for you.
