What are you doing right now??

Hi guys,

I guess I haven't checked in here for a while, not much exciting going on around here until today.

I accidentally washed my favorite thumb drive. :oops:

Thank you for your indulgence,

well...DO NOT put it into a bowl of rice..!!

let it hang upside down, (the USB end hanging down) to let the water run out

give it at least a couple of days, maybe in a warm area of the house

While a flash drive might occasionally survive a washing machine cycle, it is highly unlikely and not recommended to put one through a wash as the water and agitation can damage the internal components, leading to data loss or complete failure; it's best to assume a flash drive will be ruined if put through a washing machine.

Key points to remember:
  • Water damage:
    The primary concern is water getting into the flash drive's circuitry, which can cause corrosion and malfunction.

  • No guarantee:
    Even if a flash drive appears to work after being washed, it could develop issues later due to internal moisture damage.
What to do if your flash drive gets wet:
    • Remove from water immediately: Take it out of the washing machine as soon as possible.
    • Do not plug in: Avoid connecting it to a computer until completely dry.
    • Dry properly: Gently dry the flash drive with a clean cloth and let it air dry completely.
    • Consider data recovery: If you suspect data loss, consult a professional data recovery service.
 
Up until a few minutes ago we were outside. Went to the south. The ground was firm enough for the most part, we found scat that had to be wolf. There were a few tracks around that were pretty big. There have been sightings in our area lately.
We would have stayed out longer but that south wind is brisk. It’s 40 but feels like 33. Had our dose of fresh air and sunshine, now enjoying a beverage in the garage. After that it’s time to start dinner.
 
Went to the range with the guys at the gun shop, i couldn't stay long as all i took was one of @Bassbob favorite shotguns. shot everything i took without a hitch. now this place is called the Arkansas Waterfowl association and let me tell you. this place is awesome.

Had a blast, they brought a few toys. i am going to join this club as it is only about 12 miles from my house and cost 75 bucks a year. has three ponds to fish in. decent size ones too. a rifle range that goes out to 200 yards and a pistol range. has steel already up.

can go anytime you like, was not a soul anywhere but us three. this place is huge. only thing is you can't shoot full auto there. i didn't take much pics and didn't get all the range in the pics. the other two pics i took won't load. says too big.

You are making me miss my MP5. Y'all can stem the screaming tide of communists coming down from the north with that collection.

Looks like a nice range. Can't beat the price either.
