I think you're right miffSC it's just an empty room over there.
Sorry I missed you already tonight.
It would be best that each table gets their own check. There will be no repeat of that $400 shortage at that last dinner Lucky had. If it is broken down by table, there is less chance that several will slip out without paying their share.
Good morning
Pat (when you finally arise). Oops
(egg on face) I just popped in, read a few threads, and saw that moniker, and assumed it had been confirmed. Will wait on confirmation
Thanks for the kind words about school. I already have a few things spotted that will need a little work. I think they have been allowed to run rampant for a bit. Lots of subs in and out... so there will definitely be some rule changes - starting today
And a few incentives put into play. We
all know how well incentive can work.

That worked fine, but then on subsequent backup attempts, it kept hitting a bad sector or some problem with a file it couldn't get past, so I was trying to fix that. chkdsk with the appropriate option can't fix it either, it just hangs on verifying some file. I can't fix that, so I probably need to replace the internal drive on that Sony FW, but for now, I just renamed the file with the bad spot to something.tmp and my backup program will skip any file named *.tmp, though windows backup won't, but it did tell me which file it was on, so that's how I know. It was a backup of a backup of old quicken data. But acronis does allow you to give it a list of patterns of filenames like *.tmp that it will skip, so I was able to fix up Acronis' backup data base, delete the partial backups, clean all that up and do another backup. Those backups take a long time when they are done, because they coalesce the incremental data into sets and get rid of the older sets at the end of the process and that part takes forever, and I did it umpteen times when I was trying to solve/workaround/figure out the problem and deal with it.

Morning LIH - you have been one busy fellow with all of your technological challenges today. I am quite impressed. All I would have been able to do is pull hair and lament
And, yes, it's a funny thing about those seat assignments.

Nice rubber duckie picture!
That reminded me of this skit. It's probably not Monty Python but John Cleese is in it, does that count? [/url]
Morning KIXman! Hope your rest of the day goes swimmingly.... it's the rubber ducky day here for sure. Rain, rain, rain.
