Morning Marie.


Well I went to that ladies house. Not as bad as I thought. Turns out she had a better device than she identified. Plenty of issues, most sorted out.


Strange, it is using a local account and there is no option to switch to a Microsoft account.

Good morning / afternoon folks.

Storms expected today & staying in the mid 80's

View attachment 177249

Had to get new tires yesterday, opted for a medium cost tire, it was $539, that included a alignment, figured I'd get that dome while I was there.

The tires get good reviews so that's good, being I was a repeat customer the guy knocked $60 off for me on the tires.

Had a couple guys that work there come up to me & ask if I wanted to sell the car, they said I could get top dollar for it. Being I only have 18K on it & it's a 2017. They said they couldn't believe the low milage, said it looked almost brand new and they spotted that the tires on it were the dealer tires so they didn't doubt the milage.

I told then thanks but I'm hanging on to it, I mean, if I sell t what am I going to drive?
Hello Borg, Lori, Talon, and Yuki Oni

Good morning Borg. storming at the moment here.🤠☕☕🌩️

Morning jsoey, hope the storms blow by quickly

Good day everyone.

Happy Tuesday

Morning Ken.

I hope the air quality is getting better for you. Try to stay indoors as much as possible if you can.

Good Morning Mr and Mrs Borg :-)

That do sound as a god price :-) (y)
yeah.. selling the car and then get a new one is not always good...
we have a saying.. you know what you have, but you never know what you will get.
My problem on my car is tiny(rear brake pads needs to be changed).. and if i get a new one it might be bigger problem that wont show until a month or two later.

Morning Marie from the both of us.

Yes, that's a true saying. I have no need of a new car, we barely go anywhere as it is. The only reason it has that much milage on it is had to make a few trips to big cities when my Wife got admitted to the hosp in those cities. I imagine it would only be around 14-16K if those trips weren't needed.

Be careful when you drive, baking systems are something you need to keep in good shape. If it stats grinding metal to ketal then it's going to damage the wheel interior.

Good morning Borg.

No T-storms for me, not even a drop of rain - forecast is expecting it to stay warm and dry for at least the rest of this month.

Had to get new tires yesterday, opted for a medium cost tire, it was $539, that included a alignment, figured I'd get that dome while I was there.

The tires get good reviews so that's good, being I was a repeat customer the guy knocked $60 off for me on the tires.

Had a couple guys that work there come up to me & ask if I wanted to sell the car, they said I could get top dollar for it. Being I only have 18K on it & it's a 2017. They said they couldn't believe the low milage, said it looked almost brand new and they spotted that the tires on it were the dealer tires so they didn't doubt the milage.

I told then thanks but I'm hanging on to it, I mean, if I sell t what am I going to drive?
Both my cars have had multiple sets of new tyres by now, even my Mini is on it's 3rd set since I restored it 16 years and 30,000 miles ago.
I've put 120,000 miles on my Polo and fitted at least 15 new tyres by now! 💰💰💰

Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

I always change them before they are worn out.. As i have an aggressive driving style with that car.. my brakes is always priority one.
I have track racing brakes on that car, so no original stuff here. :devilish:*lol*

My Jeep has 174682 mileage on the meeter.. and this time i dont even have to convert as that car still have the mileage meeter since it was privately imported from USA.. and the state CA. :-)

I always change them before they are worn out.. As i have an aggressive driving style with that car.. my brakes is always priority one.
I have track racing brakes on that car, so no original stuff here. :devilish:*lol*

My Jeep has 174682 mileage on the meeter.. and this time i dont even have to convert as that car still have the mileage meeter since it was privately imported from USA.. and the state CA. :-)
A jeep is probably a good thing to have, I'm guessing it comes in handy in the winter.

Good morning Borg.

No T-storms for me, not even a drop of rain - forecast is expecting it to stay warm and dry for at least the rest of this month.


Both my cars have had multiple sets of new tyres by now, even my Mini is on it's 3rd set since I restored it 16 years and 30,000 miles ago.
I've put 120,000 miles on my Polo and fitted at least 15 new tyres by now! 💰💰💰
Yeah, tires are expensive nowadays.

The ones I got were Summit Ultramax A/s 2.0 XL, they get good reviews online, so that's good. but those were $99 each, well, that's what the shop charged. You can find them online for around $79. But the major brand, like Goodyear & Michelin.......$$$$$$$$$$$. Saw a Goodyear on display, $194 PER Tire.

It may just be me, but i see the option as local only as a blessing. 😁
Me too, but it's very odd that's it's not even being offered as an option.

@Caledon Ken, is Pro installed? If so, has it been set up to expect a Domain login? That's about the only thing I can think of that would exclude using a Microsoft account...

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

If it's an older model I bet it's built good & sturdy. You don't get that with new cars anymore, even with the new Trucks/Jeeps.

BTW, our steep hill in winter, when it's covered in snow, I've seen several 4 WD vehicles, including Jeeps, that couldn't get up the hill. Not even to the 1/2 way point. That's how steep our hill is. Like I said, no one goes anywhere till the plows show up.

I think it might been they used an installer and unattended install file.. that will bypass all MS-account stuff....

Yes its the older version 1996.. 6 cylinder engine and the 242 transmission etc. etc. So its the one that almost is bullet proof of all Grand Cherokee models.
Yeah.. real stud tyres is needed when its evil ice. I have some half mean stud tyres on mine.. they are on the edge to illegal as they have 2 millimeter studs instead of legal 1.6 millimeters
