Have a company store that became a distributor the first of the year. They have 7 employees with email, contact, calender in 365. Since Wednesday morning I have been exporting and archiving off their files to on-line storage. The smallest account is 20GB. Next to last user in process with one more to go. Have had their stuff exporting, compressing, then uploading to archive continuously 24/7, that's 55 hours so far.

then I won't tell you about the signed print I have hanging on the wall................

Oh boy! just got an email with the credentials to change the mail services over to FuseMail for anti-spam.
Know what I'm doing this weekend as if I wasn't way behind already.
And FuseMail better be better than AppRiver for $6 more per month.

Sure don't want to run the anti-spam stuff on the server. Then all that garbage traffic takes up my bandwidth even if the server blocks it.

The only signed print I have is of the Enola Gay signed by the pilots and crew, the first Atomic Task Force.

Don't think it's PC, opps, I mean Snowflake correct now.

Oh, it's signed "To Tom" which means Tom Chancy, who was in front of me has the print that says "To Richard". Would probably mean more if Tibets would have put our last names on the pictures. Didn't think to ask Tom to sign it as well. Probably would have realized I got his signed photo. Still an atomically cool memento of meeting the Enola Gay crew and Tom Clancy.

General Tom Stafford used to come into our photo lab. We were making restorations to the color and stains to his collection of space and NASA photos for his museum. He signed a lot of them for us. I had a nice NASA photo of Apollo 10 just at liftoff that he signed to me. I kept it at my office. The low life scum sucking former boss that fired us all and closed the company threw it in the trash like a lot of my stuff. The good news is we started our company and are doing good so his actions were a good thing. I just wish he would have let me get all my stuff.

RKDinOKC 01-04-2019 09:24 PM

If it helps, I could send you a signed copy of my book.

Mornin’ Azzy!

Just great. Not happy with Walgreens Pharmacy.

Will see what happens when I go to pick them up in the morning.

Two weeks ago using their app (like a typically do) I selected and put in a renew for 2 scripts.
Got an email that they needed to get approval from my doctors office and would take care of it.
Usually have to call Walgreens after a couple of days because they do not notify me and it does not show up on their app that the prescriptions are approved and ready.

Looked thru my scripts and had a couple more I could get refilled before the end of the year so I would not have to pay a co-pay. My insurance has a yearly deductable on the co-pay that gets met in about 5 months. So got on my Docs web site and requested refills for those 2.

Called and they had no record of the first 2 scripts!? But said they would call my Doctor.
Next day I get an email that the 2 scripts contacted doctor for are filled but still nothing on the 2 I notifed Walgreens.

Call them and yes they have the two scripts from my doctor, but still nothing on the original 2. Tell my they will call and will be available in two days, or this past Friday. Did not go to pic them up due to the weather.

Went by today and... They had put the 2 scripts I refilled thru doctor back in stock and I would not get them until they refilled another script for them, Also the two that I had originally orderd a refill for they had no record of. However they would get it approved . Told them that's what they said two weeks ago. Guy said he would call and get them refilled today, his was at 4pm today.

Got and email at 6pm, that all 4 were ready and shows my co-pay for each. The pharmacy closes at 6pm on Saturday's.

Looks they cause paperwork red tape until they could re-submit my prescription requests until after the 1st of the year so I would have to pay the co-pay because the deductable starts over.

Is it TV Discount Drug Pharmacy you use Glen? He doesn't seem to have a web site or App,

GH85Carrera 01-06-2019 06:22 AM

Yep, that is the place I use. No apps, no on line. I just call and identify myself, tell em what prescription I need. They fax the docs office if approval is needed, and I go pick em up. They have a drive through and they give dog treats if you have a dog. 99% of the time I go in and chat with the owner about Porsches or his wife and dogs, he asks about my wife, who is also a customer. Total friendly human interaction.

RKDinOKC 01-06-2019 10:55 AM

Welp, looks like I need to take my insurance cards, etc over to TV Discount and tell my doc am using a different pharmacy.

Instead of filling the 2 separate orders each with 2 scripts, they filled one order twice, and charged me for my co-pay for both. When I ordered all this stuff BEFORE the end of the year, should be no co-pay!

Have noticed there are new people working there, and when you drive up to the window it now takes 5 minues for someone to come up to the window. Whomever was managing the pharmacy there either went on vacation or got fired. Ether way the people there now are clueless.

Brought this home Friday
https://photos.app.goo.gl/DBDTF7bUoYx4TJuB9
It's got a busted power steering pump (it's so gone that the pulley just wobbled all over) and a few minor issues (one door doesn't open from the outside, driver's seat collapsed, headliner is toast) but otherwise pretty solid. It's a 95 NAS Disco 1 converted to 200tdi and the 5 speed manual R380 tranny

Beautiful weather here this weekend. Two days of mostly clear and mid 60s. Sammy, hows the weather out there?

RKDinOKC 01-06-2019 07:02 PM

All we got was that little blue box with a "?" in it.

Remember getting that RR for only $800 because the brakes didn't work and all it needed was a $9 fuse.
Too bad the heat air on the RR were as bad as the Isuzu Trooper.

It was so nice out this weekend I drove errands in the GTS with the window down. V8 aural accompaniment is a bit more prominent with a window down. Got three compliments on the GTS. One was while in traffic over a loudspeaker from a jacked up Jeep. Also took down the wreath on the garage gable de-holiday-decorating the house.

I’ll answer in place of Sammy. It was nice today, partly cloudy. It rained quite a bit overnight Sat/Sun. I think the temperature just barely made it up to 60 degrees.

.

I don't know why my photos don't work....
I'll have to break out the MacBook tonight and try from there. I haven't used that poor thing since buying an iPad pro.

Just ordered the PS pump, now the waiting game for it to arrive from England.

RKDinOKC 01-07-2019 04:36 AM

There were a few RR parts I ordered from somewhere in England. Got most used from Rover Cannibals here in OKC. Was always getting Atlantic British catalogs. Must have been an Atlantic British tracker on the RR. Their catalogs just started showing up, then stopped when I sold it.

Got my Cayenne headlights from the OEM in Spain. Even with the $100 import tariff they were still 1/2 what they cost from Porsche.

I just saw the new reports. They made it sound like all of southern California was having massive mud slides, the coast highway was closed, the funnel clouds in the bay, and the the giant blizzard that shut down the interstate in northern Cali. It was near Apocalypse. Of course they will seek out the one mobile home that was debilitated to start with and stand in front of it and claim tornadoes destroyed a city. Or go stand in a ditch in high waters and make it look like the town is flooded in 4 feet of water. They do like to make it worse than it is.

Back to a normal work week. It is Monday for sure.

Porsche-poor 01-07-2019 06:09 AM

Morning all. first long week of the year. I plan to survive to make them pay for this crazy work schedule.
