A Happy Day

Well, kind of.  I have some work to go do for someone.  Not on-site, unless I can find a way to diagnose and fix it at his office, which is doubtful, even though I am already 90% sure he needs the power supply replaced.  So I’ll pick the machine up, which isn’t so bad as I need to go that way sooner or later for other reasons, and it will also give me visibility in person to other people who could potentially have me do work, underscoring the e-mail I sent Friday.

So later today I’ll probably set that up to troubleshoot on the kitchen table.  The mission is to retrieve files, or fix it if it can be done cheaply, then they’ll start grabbing files while shopping for a replacement.  This is one I helped them buy in something like 2000 or maybe 2001, before the point when I’d have built him one myself.  If I have to spend some time letting it run long enough to fail, that may be a good time to start making soup.

In my travels I’ll hit the old business PO box and the store for a classic sounding list: diapers, milk, eggs, sugar, bread, peanut butter.  Probably something I’m forgetting, as well as borderline needs.  Also have some baby clothes for charity to drop off in the same place I am going for the computer.  Convenient.

Anyway, another coffee and then I’ll get moving.
