Really hard frost here this morning. Really late this year.
-
Morning Coffee and doughnuts.. yawn
Can I go back to sleep yet? Feels like I was trying to solve some problem over night...or at least in the last 45 minutes.

Took the kids trick or treating in the neighborhood earlier and had the court down the street offering Fireball to the adults.

@Dashrender to SW? Yeah. I've never paid for that.

Getting ready for the last hour drive to Austin.

Quick boot up repair on the Xubuntu Lappy... wow, I remember more Linux than I thought! still simple stuff. Remembered a fix after about 15 minutes of trying to boot it up.
All this in an effort to format my eBay freebie micro SD card that came in the mail today. Victory

Running MS Updates on a desktop,... Installing O2016 and considering a SSD drive for my laptop. It currently has a 1TB drive,.. My data folder is about 190GB - mainly photos which need to be moved and archived.
Do I go with a 1TB or should I go less... Hmmmm...

~$230 for a 1TB Mushkin SSD, seems reasonable. But if you aren't even using close to that, why bother to spend more for a higher capacity drive?

About what I was thinking. Just running WinDirStat I see that most of my used space is a backup of my mother-in-laws computer... 90% of which is photos...
Over all I'm running 688 GB free of 889GB - Seems to me if I pushed the backups off o the NAS where they are suppose to be, I would be fine with a 500GB
