Just... a bit more to me.

The tools arrived, security drivers, mini ones.  And, I got to it at once.  They weren't needed where I thought they would be.  But they were needed in the more critical place.  I pulled the hard drive, and put it back.  I then went online, to look up what to do about a dead hard drive.

While looking over all the technicals, of what to do and how to do it, I saw a way to put the hard drive in safe mode.  A... back door, to reset things.  I tried that, and it worked, the machine is back.  I am not sure if I needed to pull, and reseat, the hard drive or if just starting it in safe mode would have been enough.  Either way, I learned some things, and fixed it... without breaking it in new or different ways.  Not... bad.

I then had to play.  I have been missing gaming.  Sure got a lot done today.  But am absolutely bushed, my legs are killing me, muscles in the weirdest places hurt, tense, sore generally, and happy about it.  Not... bad.  Not bad at all.  But it is 22:47 and I am absolutely crashing.  It's down to 63, outside, already.  Should be cool enough for sleeping.
