Pork Belly 1st attempt

Nice job, Bill!

Thanks Tony, just got my computer back working. Windows ten froze it with a blue screen error. Long story short had to reload windows 8.1 and lost all my files. Sucks to be me. Most of the apps I can re-load as for the files some I can re-create. Am going to start saving files once a month to a cd.

I would also put 10 back on, its the most stable build Windows has come out with other than Dos 2.0

Also do yourself a favor and buy a second drive and install it in your computer as a backup or buy an external drive that plugs into the usb drive and do backups once in a while. I do both, but also copy all my recipes and important stuff into my dropbox account.

Thanks Greg & Tony, I do plan on putting 10 back on the system. Just going to get some ducks in a row first. Lucky I did not use recipes other than on the pc. I have gotten into a habit of printing them so I do have a drawer full of recipes. Just government doc. to help get the wife over and some other stuff. The government doc. don't really need but was nice to have in case someone would need help. I just plan on once a month to copy my documents and music over to a cd. Not sure about getting another drive but that is a good idea. And guys I am on 8.1, but plan on going back to 10 after the first of the year. Just a recommendation from  Dell techs.

Bill, you can also use an online backup source, like Carbonite.  I used it for years, before setting up a WD MyCloud backup server.  Saved my bacon on several crashes!

Hey Tony, not sure if you are a base ball fan, the K.C. Royals stamped their ticket to the World Series last night. If you did not see game six it was a nail bitter to say the least. Twice the game was tied up and then a rain delay. I might check into the wd my cloud backup as like that idea better than an off source backup site. But, may also see about the one you suggested Carbonite. I just would like something in house if you know what I mean. I recently purchased an 11.5 pound pork belly from Costco that was very reasonable and far better looking than what I had purchased from the specialty grocer, need to get the pictures uploaded. Have a great weekend what is left of it.

Recently purchase a belly from Costco that looks really good, I think I can cut it into three nice pieces to make into bacon later. It was also at a very good price, like 2.85 per pound, just did not like that the skin was taken off.
