That's AWESOME Russell!  I'm glad to hear that things are working better for you now!    YAY!

I love Win 10.  After using it for a few months, I had the displeasure of helping someone out on their Win 7 machine.  It annoyed the heck out of me.  Win 10 layout is sooooo much nicer.  There's some good advise above about backing up files (always a good idea with any type of upgrade), and making sure all drivers are up to date, and running the compatibility software first.    Good luck!

Happy NAD! Go blast the windows out! 

Nice job UJB!  I see you've got me on the map already. 

FINALLY!

I think I said that first thing, she needs a pacemaker!  I'm so glad to hear that it's finally happened!  You two need a nice month of just relaxing at home.

While I can't personally feel your pain regarding the insurance situation, I do understand it.  It's ridiculous.

Pretty heavy stuff... not quite my cup of tea, but I'll make sure Jim listens when he has a chance and let ya know what he thinks!    I'm sure if YOU think it's good though, it must be.  You do know your metal.

Happy NGD! I'm happy to see the Bread Machine making the rounds... you do know, you could use that to make better pizza dough than most places serve right?    Of course, you wouldn't have as much time to go bargain guitar hunting then though.

Thanks for fixing it, because it was truly a treat for me to find your youtube page!

Guys - JOHN HAS SOME SKILLS!  What a voice too!  (clap clap clap clap)

  I'll go ahead and post the link to Fragile for ya that you were trying to post earlier.  Guys, check it out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijlYwYzToGk

Smooth and easy to listen to, thanks Bill!

Nice Job!

Hmmm... the same guys that have a lot to say about coffee have a lot to say about wine.  Me thinks we have some sophisticated palates here.  I like Maxwell House Coffee, I don't like Folgers, I have no aversion to instant coffee.  I lived off Starbucks for a week while staying in a hotel in LA since that's all that was available. I prefer dessert wines... SWEET and not too complicated. 

Ice wine (German Eiswein) is a favorite, but super duper sweet, and tends to be pretty expensive. It can have complex flavors going on. It's generally considered more of a white, but can be pink and the longer it ages will often turn more red (and more expensive).

I also regularly enjoy Moscato, it generally has a peach taste to it.  Different brands will be sweeter than others, the slightly drier brands (which are still sweet, but have a bit more depth of flavor) go well with meals, cheese, fruits, or chocolate... love me some Moscato and dark chocolate!  Around here, Moscato is commonly referred to as "Mama Juice" because it's easy to sit and drink a bottle of it after a harrowing day with the kids (I didn't make that up, other friends with kids did). Moscato ranges in prices; the Barefoot Moscato is fine, and under $10/bottle. I've found the more expensive the Moscato, the drier (less sweet) and more complicated the flavors are.

Bully Hill is here in NY.  They make wines ranging from super dry to super sweet and they make it easy to choose with a "sweet-o-meter" on the back of the bottle.    They are twist caps, do make several of their wines available in a box, and are not expensive but are really great wines as our wine connoisseur, Zurf, has pointed out.  "Sweet Walter Red" is my go to dessert wine from them, deep red at that.  Don't be fooled by the sweetness, that concord grape is deep flavor.  "Sweet Walter" comes in a blush (rose) and white as well.  For a lighter sweet pink, Growers Blush is nice, sweet but not quite syrupy sweet.  Less sweet (they call it a semi-dry, but I've seen really dry wines called semi-dry before too) is the "Love my Goat" that Zurf heads for and "Le Goat Blush". There's also a "Goat White". I'm not sure if you can get NY wines down there though??? If you can, there's probably a limited selection.  You should be able to find the Goats and Walters though.

I have to point out that Bully Hill has cool labels... just saying.   They're under $10/bottle.
Sweet Walter Red: Le Goat Blush   
Anyhow, sweet wines are something the wine lovers don't really go for I've noticed. Don't blast me guys... I'm complicated enough that my drink doesn't need to be (ha ha)!    Most sweet wines have a lower alcohol content than average table wines.  If your wife is not a wine drinker, she might enjoy something sweeter.  I figured I'd give you a few ideas there.  I do believe you should try a few out, from dry to sweet.  Try white, blush, and reds. Figure out what you both like and don't like.  My dad hates sweet wines, heads for the Pinot Grigio, but he'll sit and drink a glass of Frangelico. Go figure? He likes Folgers coffee. I should say, I HAVE tried different dry wines as well.  They just aren't for me. I like cold and sweet and prefer wine after a meal not as a part of the meal.

Good grief that's beautiful!
