News I woke up to blows my mind, what a true dumb #$@÷%. Blow a $95m deal msu was looking to exit before this. 

Just shaking my head (the one on my shoulder this is not a mel zoom call).

I cannot say enough bad…

I cannot say enough bad about idrive. The tech is ok but billing and customer service are terrible. They kept saying i had stored 2-3x my limit which was well larger than my total drive capacity.  Now 2 years after i canceled the charged me again like last year had to fight to get a refund. Good thing i kept the cancelation email and screen shot. Next move it to get a new credit card number. 

Backblaze is my current cloud backup. They are great and customer service has been helpful. I was even able to store a 4.5TB veeam backup of a proir pc for 10 months. But that is only part of the plan. The whole plan is below:

1-I backup nightly to a 5 bay synology nas using free veeam backup software (has nice bare metal recovery which i have used). 

2-backblaze runs in continuous mode

3‐all photos are synced to amazon which is free with prime. I only do this sync once per month because even idle the app is a cpu hog and to keep the backup off line.

4‐all data excluding photos and videos are synced to onedrive

5-i have a 16tb usb drive i hook up monthy which is encrypted.  I use teracopy to make a verfified backup of the last 2 weeks veeam backups and take the drive to my office. 

I would like to have raid on my workstation but i have 9TB of m.2 storage of which 6 is used. When the 8TB m.2 drives drop in price i will look at it again. 

Overkill maybe but I had a couple of scares a few years back.

Interesting mid show change Desmond changed the Michael Jackson thriller album sitting behind him to a BB King album.

Back in the early 2000's a group of us were flying from DTE to Denver. Loyd was on the flight with us. The flight was delayed repeatedly we got an another flight and when we boarded,  he was sitting there still just waiting. One of my coworkers who was a huge fan and had gone up to talk to him summed it up perfectly,  just like game day he sticks to his plan no matter what reality around his plan is doing. 

I am grateful for the passion and work he put into the team but always wonder how much more he could have done if he had been more change tolerant.

I was up in cooper harbor all last week. Great time, colors were just starting. Do not miss both mountain outlooks in cooper harbor or canyon falls on the way up.

Had some great Aurora viewing. This weekend especially tonight looks really good (high kp index)  if you have clear sky you should see them fairly easily.

Enjoy.

The spreadsheet is updated frequently and the sticky thread works. I just sold mine (very sad but due to family event i cannot attend). You will likely get less grief and better results if you use that what it was setup for.

Well there goes all my confidence in accuweather.  It clearly shows Madison, WI weather  for 9-21, but based on the other sources maybe it is for a different year. 

Oh well who cares just win. Go Blue.

I wish i could buy in to the "I think there is no way Michigan keeps up this torrid pace of lost fumbles" thought. 

Unfortunately fumbles are now seen as a weakness of the team so opponent's for the rest of the season will be working extra hard to exploit this weakness.  This alone will likely cause more then average number of fumbles.  Every team focuses pregame and in game adjustments to exploit a perceived weakness of the opponent  while trying to cover their own weakness. 

I am not going full BPONE but do think this is something opponents will try to exploit. 

Pit Bull is an has nothing…

Pit Bull is an has nothing to do with a great university like Michigan and is oxygen thief. The banner has no place on this blog. 

I closing you kids dAMm well better stay off my lawn and get Pit Bull off the blog. 

There seemed to be a lot…

There seemed to be a lot more corporate advertising in the concourses. Every pillar was wrapped with a nice block M on 2 sides but advertising on the other 2. It may have been there last year but I think it is new. 

I am concerned about how long we can keep the corporate advertisers out it the seating and field area. Last year i went to games in South Bend, Evanston,  East Lansing , and the columbus.  Every one has corporate  advertising viewable  from the seats. The worse was full blown adds on the video boards  We need to keep the adds out of view from the seating area 

Additionally you damm kids better stay off my lawn. 

Congratulations to Mr. White…

Congratulations to Mr. White but based on his impact on field in 2018, I am surprised to see him get the scholarship while Tru Wilson is still listed above without one.

I have full faith in the coaches but that seems odd.

I am going to be there and the only forecast i care about includes a downpour of pain for Urban.

Edit due to reading post just above this  i do care about the forcast if it include golden showers  count me out on that one.

I am going to Columbus for the first time. I will be with a large group but am still concerned.

3 yearas ago, i had my 15 year old son and one of his friends in the big house for the game. In the fourth quarter two separate drunk osu fans came up to us dropping fbombs and making fun of the boys while we sat in our seats. 

Last year the osu guys in front of us were so drunk one coud barely stand and threw up on his friends feet. 

I am sure there are some human osu fans but based no my small sample, i am concerned.

Bought my ticket last night will be in section 8 with a large group. 

Just the type of confusion…

Just the type of confusion that may help lower their recruiting class. He is clearly a lier who deserves no pity. His actions or lack of action have caused more pain on others than he will face in his lifetime. 

I actually wish he would stay another 3-5 years so JH can get ahead in the series and more of his dirty laundry keeps leaking out so he doesn't get to leave on his own terms  

He is baited by the repoter…

He is baited by the reporter but answered confidently. I like his confidence  

Osu is already so fired up for this game this will not make them hit harder or play better. 

It really is a non story.

Really close to going. Have a group sitting in section 8. I still need a single ticket, they dropped $50 yesterday on stubhub  It is still  more than i ever thought I would spend on a ticket.
