Blabber mouth

I took the new Tacoma to work yesterday,  Once again I had the GoPro mounted and used it to vlog whatever came to mind.  I was surprised when I totaled up the footage at the end of the day and saw it was over 20 minutes long.  In normal conversations I will typically tap out much quicker.  For some reason I am able to speak to a camera longer. I cover a variety of unrelated subjects you may or may not find interesting.  You can see the latest episode here.

Last night I was frustrated working on the new computers for my accountants.  I had advised them to buy two additional SSD drives that I would install to create a RAID 1 software array for redundancy.  Although I never used Windows to do RAID before (always used hardware), the process appeared to be pretty easy.

After attaching the second drive I tried to mirror the original drive to it.  Well Windows 10 would not allow the mirror to be created.   Without getting into a long technical explanation, basically the way HP has the original drive set up it won’t allow for a software mirror to be created.  So my option would be to blow away the factory Windows 10 install and start from scratch.  I don’t like that option.  I could still install the second drives which could be used for daily image back ups but it doesn’t offer the same redundancy as RAID 1. They could also return the drives but since I already opened one of them I don’t know how returnable they are.  I spent a LOT of time trying to make it work, unsuccessfully.

This weekend will busy as always.  Saturday morning I am taking the new computers to my accountants home to get them migrated.  I’d like to get the 99 Tacoma sale prep work done.  We also would like to get out to see the new Captain America movie.  I am also picking up Sadie on my way home tonight for a visit.

Mother’s day is a different sort of holiday for me since my mom passed away.  I hope to not focus on it and instead make sure Cindy has a great day.
