Happy birthday, Mark. I don't think so fast anymore, either.

But one still has to bend over to get stuff that is on the floor.
Unless one has one of those 3 foot picker-upper thingies.


I got one. But they count it as an extra club in the bag when golfing so Iā€™ve learned how to bend over to place my tee without tweaking the back. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

As posted last week, I had to reinstall Win 11 and recover all my settings, data and apps. At this point I believe full recovery and restore are 95% complete. My mouse has been a bit erratic, so I visited Win 11 mouse settings. I played with a few settings for a couple of days, but the behavior was still slow and erratic. About 15 minutes ago I decided to DUH - CHANGE THE BATTERIES! I had erroneously assumed the reinstallation of the OS was the cause of the weird behavior. Voila!! Think simple first!

I have an excuse I can use - I just had my 87th birthday last week. Thinking simply is not automatic!!
My mouse and I wish you a wonderful day!

[quote=Longshadow]Interesting. In 40 years I've never had a backup battery go bad.

I just replaced the backup battery for the first time in a desktop computer from 2009. The old 3v battery tested at 1.32v, but it was still holding the time on the machine.

When you get to our age, when you drop something on the floor, you look at it and decide if you really need it....


And when you do get down there, you say: now what else can I do while I'm down here?

[quote=Timmers] Even the idiots at Ford Motor Company realized that a fusible linkage was no longer necessary with the modern battery systems of vehicles.

What? No Fusible link in my Expedition? I hadn't noticed. Sure was a pain in the rear to replace the one in my Explorer previously.

Happy Birthday, Mark! My 87th will be this October ā€¦

We share similar interests, although my Bach 37 finally retired when I hit 80. My granddaughter is carrying on the tradition, with a degree in jazz trumpet from Miami University.
