Seriously… I’d be pissed at the shop for not checking both HDs thoroughly.
-
Damn… sorry Melrick. From bad to worse

If you can, backup your data.

My C drive is failing so I’m going to be offline for a bit until everything is sorted. Computers, I have a great love/bitter hatred affair with them!

I generally find that when a drive dies, it dies, about the same SSD/HDD. Should be doing backups all the time, regardless of drive type. Especially true with the ransomware going around. I've not had an SSD die, but my closet has plenty of dead HDDs. YMMV.
-
The daft bugger lost everything on his SSD when it failed (heat), but I’ve been able to pull files of failed HDDs many times now, most recently with the Spawn’s HDD. If I ever use an SSD, it will be for things I don’t mind losing, like game files. I’d never keep all my stuff on one HD anyway, but still…
Then again, I still miss DOS.

On windows, I use UrBackup to my NAS. In Linux, it's a periodic rsync to a local HDD (cron job). But I'm otherwise on SSDs.

There’s now a new forth option for weekly challenges: ShortStory. Previously, 1000 words was the longest your challenge response could be, but now you can choose “ShortStory” which can be any length you wish over 1000 words.

Oh it got up to 112F today, not 110F? Thanks Mr Weather Man, that makes me feel so much better.

And I was right, not a wink of sleep last night.
-
I’m sorry you didn’t get to sleep. I will admit, in the heat of our summers, I do enjoy my air conditioning at bedtime, which is really the only time I want to be cold.
-
Yeah I much prefer things to be cold at night. Oh, and that was a record high temperature last night. At least tonight isn’t quite as hot.

For Raison D’être Thanks! I’m glad you appreciated the story, even though I realised too late that I didn’t even come close to meeting the 1000 word limit of the challenge. i guess I a little got carried away! I’m quite pleased with how the story turned out. I guess I would call it semi-autobiographical, except I’m not looking after someone with Alzheimers, and some other details are changed. And thanks for reading! Thank you for reading and reviewing. I’m glad the story touched you in some way. Hopefully not too painfully, though. And you’re welcome.
