That's very mysterious, Brenda. Of course my brain starts speculating ... You found an old crack pipe hidden away in your new place. You found an old crack pipe hidden away in your boss's place. You found mouse poop in your refrigerator. You found your neighbors tapping into your electricity. You stumbled into a website that secretly monitors Canadians. You found a peep-hole and camera rig your boss set up to spy on the husband.
Not gonna ask. But I enjoy guessing!

Anyway - from this end, my ball jar rain gauge indicates about 4.5" of rain.

And I'm glad it sounds like everyone had a good T-day and Canadian non-T-day!!!

Man... I was batting a thousand...
My drive just finished "cloning", and it wouldn't boot.
I've never used this (free) software before. It looks like I may have just cloned the C:\ drive instead of the entire thing. There is also a 500MB system partion and a 500MB Restore partition.
It took 5 or 6 hours to clone the main drive. Only about 2 minutes to clone each of the other two, but now it just hangs on booting. I'm assuming the program isn't smart enough to move things around and put that system drive where it needs to be so the PC knows it's supposed to do something but it doesn't know where to start.
Oh well... at least I had the foresight to test it out before I ripped the damn thing apart. I'm going to see if there's a way to fix this now to save me some time, but I might just have to let it run overnight instead.
Just went through my rebates and got them ready to go. Glad I asked for the price match one. Went through my old receipts that I hadn't sent in yet and it included that $110 extension cord among some other stuff. An extra $15 to $20 back that I wasn't even planning on after I send those in tomorrow. 
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I have very little family on the west coast, so we do the restaurant thing where they serve a nice meal and I don't have to cook or do dishes. Went there, thought I would have to park a half-mile away and walk in the rain and then wait 40 minutes, but a car pulled out real close to the door on my second circle around the parking lot, and we waited less than 10 minutes to be seated despite the huge crowd at the door (I have no idea how THAT happened!) and had a nice relaxing time.
Then we went back home where hubby had set up a fire in the fireplace and just relaxed and chatted and had some eggnog and brandy and an extra piece of pie. What a nice evening!!
Holiday is over. Back to work for me!

As I said to Jack. T Day in the US was just a run of the mill Thursday for me. Mah jong was so-so and so was work.
As to the weather we where I am are being threatened with a bit of snow again on Sunday. If it happens the Santa Claus parade will be cold and nasty in Vancouver. Good thing I do not go to such things.

It's about 10:30 CST by me right now. I wasn't feeling really good a little bit earlier when I posted.. I didn't get much sleep last night. But I seem to have caught my second wind and I figure that resigning myself to re-cloning the drive because I did it wrong is throwing in the towel, and I'm not going to do that unless I waste the next 3 or so hours not getting anywhere first and it would just make sense to let it go and just re-clone it while I'm sleeping.
Long story short, I should be hear at 1AM CST for our little experiment.

Turkey day doesn't mean much to me now since my Mom and Stepdad moved out of state. That used to be a big family party with all of his kids and their families as well as my brother and sis-in-law and niece. Now they all just do things with the other sides of their respective families.
I can always go with my old man and Stepmom to see her family for Thanksgiving, but that's a 4 hour trip one-way, and I really have no interest in being in a car 8 hours in a single day.
That's cool though. We all get together for Christmas still, and my two youngest brothers who moved out to the east and west coasts come in for that, so I'm always looking forward to that one.
You going to join our little experiment Brenda?

Nothing so dramatic Kiki.Decided to clear out an photo album that my mom kept post cards in and found a couple that were sent to an Uncle of mine. My dad must have found them in amongst my grandmother's papers after she died and meant to give them to his brother my Uncle but just never did. So it will be up to me to see that they get to my cousin. Also found a letter or 2 that my Uncle sent to my grandmother. My dad was a bit of a pack rat for whatever reasons he had. So now that both my parents are gone, I am just starting to re-go through things that were sort of gone through when they both died.
Also found a bit more jewellery in something that I was going to donate to another bag of donations. I think most of it will be donatable but I need to go through it and make sure there isn't anything that I want out of it.

Glad you can do a big Christmas with your family Jack.
Now your experiment was googling about Trump and his impeachment then posting a link to what you find here? Right?
I can maybe take a swing at it but I'm on West coast time, not sure of equivalant to you all.
Anyways Trump made a gaff today at a rally, I think it was. He was suppose to say stock market and he said, "Sock Rocket." He gave a lift to a little company in Calgary Alberta that is owned and run by a couple of brothers.
