Finally back!

My hard drive got zapped with a power surge.
I`ve been down since Sat, finally got a new one installed and I`m back on.

Hopefully you installed a Surge Protector. They are cheap. Glad you're back.

Surge protectors and/or a UPS if you use one for business.

Man it is good to be back on....
I did have a cheap surge protector, for sure it`s time for a much better one.
So far everthing seems to have been saved, I had a lot of tech files and some sweet Ford truck pictures.

A rare, but serious condition known as Anular Burn Queasieness may result from such incidents as that.

I know, you want us to think it was just one of those things that could not be avoided. But, I have the inside scoop. FOMO had his timing light out this weekend and thought that he would adjust the timing on the compooter. He set it so far advanced that the hard drive backfired!! Welcome back, Jag
