    Not sure if I have a photo of it, to be honest...

    Will report it to the police tomorrow morning.

    Don't think we have any cams on the premises, but I'll check that tomorrow as well. :agreed:

    At €1200, why haven’t you reported it already? I’ve paid less for decent cars.

    Because it was 9 pm on a Sunday night and I had neither the energy nor the willpower to do anything about it at the time.
    As for the value, the bike was €7-800 when it was first bought several years ago. I've put in at least another €400 to keep it in decent shape.

    It was a 'wintery mix' of rain and snow all day yesterday, and now my sunroof has chosen to leak. The first red light I made it to last night- I hit the brakes, and water steams out of the sunroof switch/interior light cluster.

    I stabbed a motherboard pin under my fingernail! Oh it hurts it hurts it hurts. Make it stop! Twenty-five years building computers, and I've never done that. Damn it that hurts! CURSE WORD!

    Trying not to be unhappy about this, precisely . . . but how much fun is it when the fan motors goes out on your PC, and an automatic scan on your laptop (which is your lifeline) tells you your hard disk drive might fail at any moment.

    Joy, joy. Hasn't happened yet, and my research tells me that replacing the HDD myself will be dead easy, but I'm not 100% sure which one to get.

    Then there's the complication of getting the OS backed up and reinstalled, and all the data copied over.

    Back up the hard drive to an external with a program like Acronis TrueImage (30 day free trial) and then when you install the new drive, just unpack the imaged drive into the new one. Easy day, no OS reinstall.

    I'll check it out. At least my data is (are?) all backed up to the cloud.

    This may be just what I need. The Microsoft site doesn't like my OEM product key, so I can't make an OS backup from there.

    After less than 2 hours sleep with painkillers, I'm wide awake in agony. Gonna switch therapy for my GP this week. Now I just have to keep myself busy for the next 7 hours. :(

    My life clock is running out, and that has put me the doldrums. I have two books to finish, but I haven’t written anything this year. I going to go back to pencil and pad until I can work through this.

    Today, I was forced to cull almost two feet worth of records from my collection due to a leaky AC and some black mold. (I don't know if it was "black mold" black mold, but it was mold, and it was black.) Thankfully, I didn't lose too many I cared deeply about and found new sleeves for those I did. I lost some cool cover art though and a lot of great compilations; rare, weird stuff like promotional records from rock radio stations from the seventies. Most I can live without, I suppose, but it still sucks!

    So for once in my life, I decide to vote for candidates outside what my family wanted (they picked Biden while I picked Bernie) and my mom is showing all nonverbal signs of disappointment. So I'm basically damned if I do and damned if I don't. Follow my family and I feel like I betrayed myself. Follow my heart, and I feel like I betrayed my family.

    I hate these fucking elections. -_- Right, this 2020 Elections will be the last fucking election I ever take part in. Good luck on all future elections, Americans. Count me the fuck out.

    Politics and family don't mix, so for future reference
    don't tell anybody who you voted for.
    Me I haven't voted in years, taking the Carlin approach:
    I'll complain all I want, since I didn't elect them in the
    first place. :)

    If your family is disappointed by your choice within the same party, they really need to chill out. Voting for the Other Side only counts when it's actually the Other Side, you just picked a different item off the menu, you didn't head to a different restaurant entirely.

    When I was a kid, my parents wouldn't tell me who they voted for. They wanted to instill the idea of a secret ballot in me.

    They voted straight Republican every time. I think our representative usually ran unopposed, we were in such a red area.

    I think this is all more self-inflicted than anything else. Despite their attempts to raising an independent, free-thinking man, I'm still loyal to them and the idea that I might stray from them in any way is unthinkable.

    So it's really more me realizing that for the first time, I actually disagree with my family on this.

    But yeah, I think upon reflection, there are Americans who can't vote for whatever reason. Their voice unheard. I'll continue to vote. For them.

    Speaking of voting, politics, and things that don't mix, our owner (who is a complete whackadoo) wanted to run impeachment themed drink specials when that was happening. I nearly had scream at him that people drink at bars to escape reality, not have in reinforced. And with our prices, the dumbass didnt seem to realize that our crowd is mostly old, rich, White dudes who work in the financial sector. Hence, Republican leaning. He looked at me like I had two heads.
