After a few days of the tasty expensive cat food, she won't take a second look at the kibble.

Hello Wynona, Gracie, and Lucy I may also change their diet to wet food also it does not have as many calories as the kibble and they need to loose weight except Penguin.

Buzzy goes see the vet tomorrow for his annual check-up

Just finished shoveling again. We have 20+mph wind gusts that are making the drift form very quickly and are very deep.


One miserable storm that a few days ago was supposed to miss us. They are shutting down major highways as they can't plow fast enough. Closer to city proper they are have blizzard like conditions.

Well that's what I've been doing last 3 hours or so, been removing the heavy wet snow using my snowblower and a shovel.
Got a thin layer of ice in some spots now. We got about 6" of snow then it changed to rain ....I hate winter. LoL

Well we shovel off the deck. At least 14 inches over the entire deck. Very heavy as it was drift snow.


Shoveled the front again. It has stopped snowing but the winds are just crazy. Drifts just fill back in.


Good luck Mike. Hope it is over for you.


We have more in forecast Tuesday evening and its supposed to get warm so it will be a mess.

Sounds good Wynona. Very happy to hear you were able to recover so quickly.

Hey Ken, I figured it out, just took me a while, and listening to you, Bree, and Keith. I got it working now. MR sees them all on 2nd pc, didn't even have to add them, they were already listed ....but the dam screen on MR was kind collapsed so I could not see them. ...pulled it down ...and there they were. Bottom line its working now.

Still kinda strange that on my main pc they show different then on my spare pc. But I got them working, and thats the bottom line. Thanks Guys.

Hi, folks.

It's up to 55° and sunny this afternoon. I've put off going out quite long enough (I'm allowed with mask on for the next three days). After Thursday I will once again be a free woman . . . nope no divorce! Except maybe for one from COVID.

Funny thing . . . daughter is trying to say that COVID test results don't actually mean I'm positive; that anyone with a cold will test positive . . . etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah . . . Why is it then that she's not willing to get in a car with me and go to the store?

Oh, well, for peace in the family, I'm not going to call her out on the issue . . . but one of these days, I will finally blow a gasket . . . I just hope it's much later . . .

Afternoon Wynona, Gracie, and Lucy. There is a very small chance of a false positive. I seem to remember you had one early in the pandemic.

Cool Mike.


Yes I checked other devices in my set and in File Explorer they all show as XML Document.

This has to be a setting in your Default "Apps by file type" . You can even see in you screen shots the one with just xml shows the icon for Notepad and the second PC shows a different icon. Also on second pc you are not showing file extensions for known file types.

It is working and that is all that counts.

That's good Mike. I think the file Type is set by whatever program is the default for opening it, not necessarily by the program that created it.

@OldMike65

Mike, I'm working on backing up just my data drive, but got this query from Macrium. I know it's a long shot, since I'm still not very smart about backups, but thought I'd throw it out just in case . . .



Note the second check box to save as an .xml file.

I know that if I've done something numerous times, I can fail to actually look at it, and miss something . . . Not to say you'd ever do that . . . what do I know?
