Stepped out on the back patio this morning to fire up the Traeger smoker and saw that the sky was on fire...
Got a tip for us?

It was a Samsung 840 250GB SSD which is, arguable, a class leading brand in a Core I-7, Gigabyte motherboard machine. I may have had some warning of pending failure but didn't recognize it. Month prior Blue Iris (security cam software) became a memory hog and while historically could run TC2000 (stock charting program) simultaneously with no problems, it was suddenly sluggish with slow refresh. Upgraded memory from 8mb to 16mb, better but still slow and programs using more memory, and slow startup. Then computer, with only Blue Iris running would spontaneously shut down in middle of night. After a couple of incidents, suddenly refused to recognize the drive with OS and in BIOS didn't show up as available drive to tag as first option on boot. In retrospect, it probably was the failing drive's slow or not processing that was causing the problems.
Took my wife for a walk around the house ( recovering from eye surgery) but managed to bring a camera.
Another colour shot with the borrowed Graflex 4x5 Camera.
Logan's Pass, Glacier National Park, MT, July, 1975. Yes the horizon line is correct, the camera had a built in level.

Love the perspective

.. on this rather dark, damp, and dismal morning here, I found myself seeking some encourangement of better times by browsing through some views taken within a local, community garden the past couple of years. Picked this one to help initiate better thoughts this morning ...
Yes, a level horizon is key on landscape shots, certainly when there’s water involved. Delicate Arch is another one where, when shot with a level camera, will appear to have a noticeable lean to the entire landscape. Leveling to the sandstone layers in post will misrepresent the actual environment!
Thanks!! and 'yes', I'm okay ... just wondering a touch on what to do, and where to do it.
My son would love to see that. He has several Gundam models but none approach that size. Wow!
Does that one actually move?
I highly recommend the service BackBlaze to everybody I can. Cloud backup, and in the event your drive fails, BackBlaze sends you a physical drive with your backup - no need to download it from the web.
My setup is thus:
- Mac mini attached to a Raid 1 with two 4TB Seagate drives
- BackBlaze cloud backup
- Time Machine backup
- Important folders synced across all computers (MBP, Mac mini, and an HP Winbox) using SyncThing (greatest creation ever)
Only the head moves, which may be a good thing because it's massive. A model in Yokohama will move (I read).
But this one is near Tokyo on Odaiba Island at Diver City. There's a cool shop there that sells all this stuff (SMALL Gundams only!)
here's a link for this Gundam and Yokohama's model:

Stormy sunrise today, another “cold” front rolling in.
Sad to hear. I wish I had a good tip or help to give, but I can't. Take care and take care of your photos.
Back up the important stuff. The OS can be restored. I keep most stuff on the cloud - native and encrypted.

Found that same stick everyday for a week on our walks.
