Happy Hump Day Grant, John, Shaun, Steve, Perry and everyone lurking here.
It was another nice morning, not as quite warm as was forecast but I`ll take it.

Its warm again out here with a high of 9 but overcast, can't complain. It looks like we're not hosting the western Canada Olympics after spending about 12 million on thinking about it.

Afternoon Shaun, all is well here. How are things with you? More rain for your area isn`t good news.
It`s -3 C so it's not warming up very quick here Perry, -17° C Friday night so a cold start to the Sat close out auction at a trailer manufacturing plant I`m thinking of going to.

Doing okay Morris. Was dealing with computer issues most of the morning. We will set a new record for the wettest year after tomorrows storm comes through. Add in any other storms between now and the end of the year and it will be a alot of rain we have gotten.

Computers were down this morning or just slow? So far we haven`t had any storms but it's early for that here. How many inches of rain have you had so far?

One was frozen so we had to power it off and restart it. It froze 3 more times today. Another one had updates and it did not like one of the updates so it wanted to continuously reboot. The one that froze decided to update and also did not like one of the updates. So it has been a headache.

I know how frustrating that can be. My old desktop with Windows 7 runs slow, freezes up briefly and I have no idea how to clean it up.
62 inches of rain is any awful lot of rain and it's too bad you couldn't send some of that here. We've had a very dry yr, hoping for lots of snow this but it doesn't sound very likely.

We run windows 7 right now. We aregoing to upgrade to Windows 10 but we have to run a test machine right now because of the programs we need touse. We have to make sure they will work with windows 10.

I thought I was the last pilgrim to ever use Windows 7, wonder how much longer it`ll have support. I tried Windows 10 and it seemed to run real slow with my wireless internet, my wife doesn't have a problem with it.
Crap weather Friday here too Perry but next wk sounds ok tho.

Windows 10 is okay. My windows 10 laptop runs well with it. But I have a higher end gaming laptop so it has a few extras that are not normally found in most laptops. Faster processor, higher end wifi adapter, higher end graphics, sound and the like.
