Enough is enough!   In the winters that I remember here in Spokane, WA this has got to be one of the snowiest winters on record.  (perhaps I should check that)  Again this morning we woke up to about 4 inches of new snow that we had to shovel from your walks and drives.  Today wouldn’t [...]

“Track 0 Indicator Failure…” “Drive Sector Not Found…” “Drive Read Failure…” ”Seek Failure…” If you have used computers for any length of time you undoubtedly will be faced with error messages similar to these.  If you’re also like most of us you’re not going to have a recent backup to recover your data.  I’ve been in this situation and absolutely needed [...]

Great song from Josh — I’m kinda on a Valentine thing.  This song seems to be appropriate for that.

When using Excel I find that I will often times want to setup a worksheet that I can use as a template.  For example I might have some monthly sales or inventory tracking that I do and I want to use the same format each month,  but I want each month to be on a separate [...]

Well this year started out virtually the same as all of the prior years.   A stadium full of people all wanting to be the next American Idol with very few of them actually possessing the singing talent that is needed to be the next American Idol.   As I watched the show I couldn’t help but [...]

As many of you are aware or you can see from my scrolling pictures, my wife an I own lakefront property.  When the property was subdivided by the builder he created a Homeowners Association to manage the common elements of the property including the road, the water system, and the sewer system.  As the secretary [...]
