I feel like a TV evangelist. It’s a miracle, an absolute miracle. Using a super secret technique taught to me by the infamous Eskimo-Ninja, Nanuk of the North, I was able to recover the data from my old Powerbook.

I can hardly believe it myself. I was just getting used to the grim reality of entering a years worth of data into Quicken manually and getting along without all the other stuff I lost, but that reality is no more. Armed only with a 12 pack of Bud-Light, a soldering gun, and a tuna-fish sandwich, I was able to get the drive spinning long enough to completely image it to another drive, thereby preserving my flawless record of 100% data integrity.

I feel good.

Now, armed with my data and new laptop, I’ll head back to the lake today for the last big weekend of the year. Marcia and the girls will follow tomorrow.
