    Yeah the wooziness does not mix with hot surfaces. I had none of those until the ccb at 5mg I have no idea how Larry can handle it at 10. They would be scraping me up off the floor.

    Looks good. The amount of 5 star reviews seems to indicate a pretty good unit.

    On another front the DHW still works in the Bear's den so the Bear will be warm.

    Channels 35 and 51 are a bit Screwed up, they are getting combined into one on 51 there are now 3 copies of 35.1 to watch 2 on channel 51. Haven't a clue as to when or if they will get things right. damm Roy is no longer around so I have no one to call. Besides he got canned by the folks running the show.

    Well we are down to 2 pups, the one we are keeping and one my sister in law is picking up in April. Its weird here now, while I was getting pizzed getting up in the middle of the night, getting my feet bit up, getting my rug chewed up, furniture tore up, I miss the little buggers. We dropped one off at a womans home today before our nephews birthday party and neither wifey or I had a good feeling. Woman was nice and all and home was nice, she had an old dachshund, yet I don't know we felt funny leaving the dog there. oh well, we will see what happens, my wife is going to call her next week about some painting classes and see whats up with the little one. I'm never going to be a dog breeder that's for sure.

    I went with Western Digital Red drives in my 2 Synolgy NAS units. Still going strong 4+ yrs on. Never seemed to have good luck with Seagate drives but now I put Samsung EVO SSDs in all my systems.

    Best update for an older laptop (if it has a SATA interface drive)- increase the memory and replace the spinning HDD with an SSD. It'll seem like a whole new computer.

    I have had good luck with just about all drives this is the only one that has failed in better than 20 years and it has been handled with less than kid gloves.

    Sam, that drive has been hanging off my router since it came through the doors here. I'm surprised it has lasted as long as it has. It has been knocked around by the cat many a time. It is on a USB 3.0 interface. And the drive is formated as an ext4 unit and used as a R/W drive. Not exactly a safe way to treat it.

    I've added SAS II cards to my clunkers an started using enterprise drives for always on storage. Buuuuuuttttt they are pricey!! Still cheaper and more reliable than SSD's IMHO. Some of the SATA III are also available in enterprise or server duty. I haven't tried any though!!

    For mechanical I pony up for the western digital enterprise drives. I buy direct off their site. Use that for bulk storage at home.

    For ssd I like crucial for sata. Samsung has a nice nvme drive.

    Ssd is a godsend in a laptop or desktop.

    Only problem is disposal. No degaussing. Need to shred.

    Use a minor adjusting tool on all of them.
