Speaking of EMP... we had one bolt of lightning all yesterday evening.
Only one.
But it either hit a powerline of very close to it, bc it made all of the lights do a slow blink and reset our microwave, tablet, and a few of the clocks.
If I had been doing anything on the PC, it would have screwed it up for sure.
(Did I even tell you about the time hubby had been programming furiously for 3 hours when the power suddenly went out? There was a moment of silence, the I hear a big "SHIT!" coming from a dark room).
So, si, se puede".
SAVE, and back up often!

I wanted to repost this on the new page so Brenda doesn't miss it:

It is something to think about for sure.
If I ever come off as being impatient or insulting about it, please don't take offense. I'm not directing that at you, Brenda. My frustration is with myself for not being able to direct you properly.
Did you email the book to yourself? You really should do that first so you always have a copy in your email to re-download if something goes wrong.
Then you should make a few backup copies on a thumb drive and your other computer.
Please send yourself the email and do the backups first before we move on to making the 25 page doc to send to your friend.

Ehhhh... Probably not. I mean, anything you were working on when it knocked your PC out that wasn't saved would have been lost (if the program didn't have an autosave feature), but my computers have been hit quite a bit over the years with blackouts and brownouts and there's only been one instance where I felt one of the computers may have taken some physical damage from it because of how it performed afterward, but it never screwed up any of the data on my drives.

No. lol... But I've been through something like that once or twice in my life.

Busy busy busy... indoor work past couple of days.
Forecast said rain in the AM but when I got up (at stupid o'clock) the sky was clear from horizon to horizon. But I got fooled again! It clouded up and poured right quick, and now it's cloudy and cold-ish by LA standards.

No offense taken as I can get quite frustrated with myself as well.
I hope to get something done over the weekend as I am doing nothing today. Back morning will explain in another post.

Back from mah jong and grocery shopping. No luck at mah jong.
This day started off real good with the power going out in my building and all around the area someone in the building told me. So, I ate a cold breakfast to take my meds and walked down 10 flights of stairs to get out to go to mah jong. I was going to get my garbage out but I am tired and will do it tomorrow.

Got my errands run for the day. 5 birds with one stone, the way I like it.
Eggs were $1.99 for the first time in forever, so I treated myself.
Gas was up 36 cents per gallon though. Yay. FJB.
Going to hang out with my buddy tonight, shoot some pool and watch a movie or two. It's a de-stressing day for me.

Had a great time at my friend's tonight. Got fed really well too and sent home with some more food.
His daughter loves her new room. Her dad got her those strip/tape LED lights and put them all along the top of the walls. They're real cool and can change all different colors. She likes the pink though, so even though she wanted a big girls room without the pink and purple colors on the walls she's still got her favorite color in there.
He wants me to join his pool league. I'm kind of flattered that he thinks I'd be good enough, considering I hadn't played in about 15 years until I started playing with him again. I'm not good enough right now though. I can make a lot of great bank, rail and cut shots, but then I'll blow an easy straight on shot and lose the game. I can tell he's gotten a lot better since we got the pool table in his basement and if I miss just two shots in a game it's pretty much a sure thing I'm going to lose. I still won 3 out of 10 games though. I've got to start playing Safety shots if I don't have a shot. In my mind that's just playing dirty and/or weak, but it's a legit strategy they use. I've just got too much Tin Cup in me to do it.
Just going to relax tomorrow I think. I'm going to be helping my other friend on his rental this weekend.
