She was a good Miss Marple, too, but Joan Hickson is my absolute favorite :).

Today I ate a rack of baby back ribs I made on my grill. I had a few brews with them. I did not do anything of importance, but I had fun and feel great

Today I will dismantle my computer. Its there for at least an year and the CPU runs at 60 degrees.

Dismantling is easy...it's putting it back together that's hard

Good luck

Today, ( or more precisely Yesterday), I finally retired my old Test PC - It seems It's been around forever, 2GB AMD 4800x2, that had been running a copy of Windows 8.1 x64, Had not switched it on for several months, and I just wouldn't start, System is no longer really worth any work thrown at it.

I have always kept a spare system for testing so it looks like I will be in the market soon for a replacement for my main system

Need to look at a bare-bones system, and then transfer my current extras, mostly SSD and other storage, and build my current system into a spare for network systems and OS interactions.

I do have an old netbook recently converted to run Ubunto Linux that is fun getting to network with My Samba (windows) network, but am quite impressed by the way things have moved on :)

UEFI makes it even harder.

After re-seating, it assumed the optimized BIOS defaults and got back to UEFI, which made the system unbootable. I had to change the BIOS elements on a trial and error basis to make it boot back .... which took more time than the dismantle - reseat.

I have old HDDs there containing lots of valuable data which I cannot abandon. So I cannot use UEFI and get the PITA every time.

True. I seem always have issues in fitting everything back in to the case. Usually I'm left with some leftover wires and components, yet the PC seems to be working...
