I bought a new systems case that arrived last night. I installed all the stuff I brought from Canada but subbed in the drives from the antique clunker I bought for ~$180. It sees the drives but I can’t boot. So now I have a very long road ahead of me: using The Boy's PC to create a new boot drive, then rebuilding with all of same software. And then I have to worry about whether the data drives will be salvageable.

(Oh boy oh boy!)

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
