back ups x3

My computer is terribly bogged down. It’s not a dinosaur nor is it old. It is the house to thousands of images. & not small images. Ginormous RAW images that are making it c.r.a.w.l.l.l.l.l. So today, I decided to back up my images to my HD drive (need to buy another because I filled mine) […]

I got a fever….

& the only prescription is more cow bell. No, it’s really not nor do I have a fever. I really just wanted to use that as my title. But what I do have is either a cold or a serious case of the autumn allergies. Stuffy noses, throat tickles, headaches, itchy nose. It’s a fun […]
