Thanks to all the heavy traffic, you all have worn out the hard drives in our server in just two years. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’ll accept that as a good thing, mostly. The first one croaked a couple of weeks ago, and we went down for the better part of a day. Our hosting facility swapped in a new drive, but the second one is also giving out, so we’re basically running on one, which causes slow-downs and time-outs.
But we’re getting the second one installed today hopefully, and our software pro will have to make some changes as a consequence. That means we might be down for some (hopefully) short period of time. By the way, this is over my head technically, so it’s in the hands of the pros. I’m heading out for a nice Thanksgiving Day hike; it’s a spectacularly sunny day here. And Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Happy Thanksgiving Americans!
I was hoping for a CC of a Red VW Microbus, because today is the day 50 years ago that Arlo Guthrie took a half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and changed the course of history. Or something like that.
Ah, Alice’s Restaurant. It’s a tradition for us, too.
I learned to play it this year, in celebration.
That Travis thumb picking thing is hard, took a couple of months to get that right..
I can imagine. Our band teacher in High School taught us a little guitar lesson on the last day of school. I can forever respect anyone who can play one after that! 😉
I love that song, though. It’s a riot!
Alice’s or Mel’s Diner… I just thought of sassy waitress, Flo.
LOL 😛
Happy Thanksgiving to you Paul. My truck and I will stay tuned…
Happy Turkey, Paul!
Good luck with the fix it might cure the 503 error when posting comments even.
Ah, the W123. Not many ’70s Euro lux cars are worthy of a stock engine swap as opposed to a dose of Vitamin SBC…
And a great Thanksgiving from the UK! Send the IT pros some turkey sandwiches?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !! .
The food is ready , the table set , the boys came back from church and are lined up for the shower , we’re about to hit ‘ play ‘ .
Is that Euro Spec W-123 still around ? I need some parts .

Just woke up from my first food coma and now I’m heading to a friend’s house for more. USA! USA! USA!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family, Paul! Hope it’s a wonderful day full of fun, food, family, food, food…. More food…. Now I feel like some turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Paul. Thanx for the heads up and for CC.
Happy Thanksgiving, Paul and readers.
I’ve noticed that there’s been some hard drive/ server/ communications problems, especially after I post. It’s a good sign about traffic, though…..CC always has some great writeups and nostalgic things.
