One Liner

Within the last couple of weeks, one of the UHHer's started a thread of one liners. I had just accidentally formated the drive I store all of my documents on. Fortunately, I have some backup software and now I'm in the process of going through the recovered files & renaming them. The file I was specifically looking for in this case was written by a young lady who left us way too young. This was written shortly before she died about 10 years ago.

A lot of truth in that . . . until it goes too far. There is nothing more exhilarating than sailing a 45 foot sloop in 75+ knot winds at night in driving rain. The dance is amazing as everyone on board danced to do the right thing to keep the boat from crashing into the shore, being knocked over completely or drifting into the shipping lanes. At least that's one version that happened to me when I was testing for my bareboat skipper license. Later that season we were at a gas dock and a battered 47 foot Hans Christian pulled in--they had just spent the last three days fighting through a Pacific hurricane and were tired to the bone. I think they were tired of dancing for a while. Anyway, this quote made me think of that.

That says it all. Definitely words to live by.

Hadn't thought about Recuva, which I have. I used Recoverit this time. It seems to work reasonably well.

Yes. Now all I have to do is go through the 900+ .docx files & delete duplicates & stuff I no longer need.

That’s good news. 900 isn’t all that many. I had 800000 duplicate photos on a hard drive after consolidating all my photos from several drives. What a chore. I am now at 223000 duplicate photos. I do keep this drive backed up so I do not have to start over in removing files.

Good luck to you.
