I did a survey on motorcycles and found that 7 out of 8 do not wear helmets unless it is raining. I watched a guy and gal where the gal was on the back, carrying a helmet.

Peachtree City, Ga was set up for golf carts. You weren't supposed to drive on the regular roads but you could go anywhere on golf cart trails. Only place I ever saw

I saw your note about Windows 10 and Linux. You said you were happy with Linux and that you are hard to make happy. I have been exploring Linux and am having trouble downloading. I have downloaded the torrent file but it now 'seeding' and I don't know what that means. Also, which server did you use to download? I am currently using Windows 7 but it is a little slow and I have an old IBM computer that I was thinking of loading Linux onto. It appears it takes over an hour to download, so I will do overnight. Verifying the ISO file seems to be extremely complicated. Did you do that? Any help or advice you can give would be appreciated. By the way, they have just come out with Linuxmint 18, Cinamon version. That is what I want to download. Thanks in advance for your advice and help. If you want, you can call me at 331-382-4771 (my cell). Brian is my name.

Unless you need off site access, a NAS is a pain to keep up. I set one up and eventually abandoned it.
Instead I bought a PROBOX from Amazon for about $100 and 2 2TB regular 5.25 drives and 2 1TB drives.
I took the main 2TB drive and split it into 2 folders. Then I set up to copy both folders to the 2nd 2TB drive and each folder to one of the 1TB drives.
If you run Windows "Synctoy" is powerful and can backup automatically. On Linux "Luckybackup" will also do the same thing.
By doing it this way, I have 2 backups of everything on the master.
These copy programs are really quick. They can update everything within a couple of minutes.

Storage facilities around Ajijic/Chapala? Any Suggestions?
jrm30655 replied to Cincy's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
If you are going to store fabrics for long periods, you need to seal them in plastic bags and make sure that they have low moisture when you store them. For 8 months of the year it is dry here but the other 4 months are damp and things will mold. Those bags you can vacuum out and seal will really make a difference with clothes, however they tend to leak over time and re-expand. -
During WWII, the US government sent some soldiers down to the west end of the lake because there was rumors that the Germans were up to something in this area. The soldiers "saw" just enough to remain stationed here during the war. I'd imagine that if they had been sent to the Arctic they would not have seen anything. Something about the good weather and cheap beer probably helped the sightings..............

Someone sends up those paper balloons occasionally. I've seen them several times between 2 and 3am. There's also some people that have those quad rotor toys that fly them occasionally over the lake. The first time I saw the balloons, they really looked weird. With my telescope, I could see the flicker of the flames. I don't think we are being invaded by aliens, just snowbirds.

I don't care about the brand, just the quantity. Obviously, I'm quitting too early

I think you are a wonderful asset to Lakeside and one of the more level headed poster's on this forum!
I hope you take a look at Canuck Bob's forum if you have time. I would love to read your stuff there too!
