Freezer is full. We did very well on everything except Salmon last year. We made up for that shortfall in moose though.

How about you? Hope you had some success.

 

Thanks but that option isn't showing up.

I did do the right-click thing for the taskbar and tried un-checking cortana but it didn't un-check. Frustrating.

 

Good morning gang! Measurable snow expected here for a few days, headed to town after a shower.

Hi Rob, Off to visit grandchildren this winter?

 

Tom
They were up here for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. We’re going down there for Spring Break in March.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

 

Rob! How goes. Thanks for dropping in.

 

It goes well, Dave; I hope likewise for you.

 

Moose is good!

I lucked out in archery and got a decent buck, the walleye fishing wasn't too great this year for some reason.

Darn Dave, thought that was it, like I said I got rid of it and then brought it back, there is a way!

 

Congrats on the buck!

We missed the main salmon run at Copper River by a week early. Then the water level came up too high and we never got a chance to go back.

 

Dave:
GRRRR! Was playing to see if I could get Cortana off the task bar, I got it off by clicking on MORE after right clicking on it and then clicking on Cortana, but now when I went to put it back its only showing up as a circle on the task bar instead of the search task and I need to click on it to bring up the search. NBD, but now all the tasks are further left than where they were, it didn't do that before .

 

Hi all, been putting off posting...on vacation and taking it easy. Dave, and Carl I hated losing XP, but hate 10. I use my tablet or phone more than the PC. You would think as long as Microsoft has been around they could put out a user friendly product for technocally challenged folks like me.
Have a good day.

 

Finally some snow, only a couple inches of wet stuff. Had to sweep off the dishes a couple times last night to get reception. Poor pup is outside in his pen, can't feel too sorry as he is laying in the snow chewing on a bone or stick.
About done with a Coleman model 1 stove restore. Got the lettering painted on the tank yesterday morning.

morning boys

Sounds like you are all busy... win 10 is better than 8, so, while not a fan, not complaining.

TGIF.. oh, wait, doesn't matter to you guys

 

Morning all:
How goes it Sue!

My fishing buddy and his BIL left for Oneida Lake NY last night to do some ice fishing. Last time they were up they said it was tough fishing where they set up, hope they do better this time. The weather was miserable the last time they went, this trip should be much better, just COLD which they can handle!

 

Good morning Susan and gang,
Fired up my Coleman model 1 stove last night after restoring it.
Duane

 

That is way cool.

 

Thank you, much better than it was.
Duane

 

Okay so a bomb dropped! And I got a small insight into Win10. I now have a small Cortana icon on the taskbar instead of a huge dialog box. More manana when I'm back in front of the beast and can provide details.

In the meantime my trusty, rusty, Win7 desktop machine -- which pretty much pins the household together -- refused to reboot today. I held the hard drive in my hand and felt it hacking away, trying its mighty little heart out to find the boot record. O. M. G.

Ordered a new box, crossed fingers/toes/elbows/etc. that I can recover the contents of the disk. I had a backup thingie on there that supposedly wrote to my network drives, on Saturday or Sunday morning if I recall correctly. I can't remember the last time I paid any attention to it. I can't face any more tonight so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

Hi Dave, hate when that shot happens. My old Dell harddrives(2) froze up and I couldn't recover anything. Took it to a pc place and he got some items the first time, the second time all was lost and he sold me an external hard drive to back up stuff on. Highly recommend doing that for future reference. I had a professional computer guy tell me sometimes if you put the,hard drive in the freezer it might help it boot up. Don't know if it works, but good luck Dave. l st me know how you,make out.

 

Good Luck Dave.... my old machine was giving me fits starting... told my son and he said it was ready to die.... he ordered parts and made me a new one.... Went up that weekend and he transferred stuff over.. got home with the old one as a back up... welp, two days later, it no worky
Got a replacement, transferred stuff from the real back up and it's working good now.

evening all
