Took the MBP to MacMedics because she has to get fixed. I think I should just get a new one.
She was starting to report drive issues when I hooked up DiskUtility to her. That can’t be good. Hopefully, this cloned drive is good and I can restore it to as it was before she got sick.
My suggestion to you. Backup. Backup. Backup.
MacBook Pro is weezing and injured.
The laptop on the left lost its display last Tuesday. I’ve been connecting to it via screen sharing, but even that is going. It takes two or three boots before it displays itself on the network. When I mounted it as a firewire drive, it complained that the drive was bad. Running DiskUtility on it and DiskUtility wants me to copy as much off the disk as possible and reformat.
I’ve Carbon Copy Cloned her drive, but haven’t tested if the copy was good. Fingers are crossed that the back up went well, because I’m going to have to try and get her fixed up. Or maybe its time for a new laptop. A new MacBook Pro with an SSD drive!

You can’t outrun it. You can’t change it. It’s there. It’s done. Homuhomu come on!
The third lunch I made in the triumvirate of lunches is a tuna salad with avocado. It’s nothing special but the avocado gives it a gourmet flavor.
I used a tin of albacore tun, the fancy stuff, two dollops of mayonaise, half an avocado, a quarter of a red onion diced, some lemon, some pepper and salt, and a minced clove of garlic. That’s it. Throw them all into a bowl and mix together, dollop out onto toasted bread, and add some shredded lettuce.
Yumm-o!
The sandwich was good and the tuna salad was still better the next day for breakfast. What went wrong was using too much mayo and perhaps more salt than I should be using. All things that will be fixed the next time I make some tuna salad. I’m also thinking adding some herbs and spices a la Akeshia’s suggestion.
So what have I learned when I made myself lunch this past week? Baked bacon is a gift from the gods. Sandwiches are easy to make. Just take a look at a B.L.T. whose ingredients are in its name. Mango salads are best made with slightly less ripe mangoes. Red onions are as pungent as any other onion. Iceberg lettuce is flavorful too.
Homuhomu testing her new powers. It’s alright. You’re going to be fine.
HomuHomu crushing it. That look on her face makes me smile.
I was awoken on Saturday by the hammering and the pounding of the work that’s happening on the buildings of my condominium development. They’re pulling down the siding and the brick and installing a better building wrap. The workers are all over and I get worried about the car out back. I needed to get the car out of there. So I go about and find an early movie to watch. Not really caring what it is, I pick The Three Stooges. I’m hoping to see heads being banged together so that I don’t rage and bang some heads together around my house. I want to go all Moe on someone.
The nice part about The Three Stooges is that they did old school style. Three different vignettes. Three different two reelers. Just like they had been presented back in the day. The also had the intro with their theme song and their floating heads — I’m hearing “3 Blind Mice” in my head now. This was nice and unexpected. They strung their story in these three segments.
The first was the Three Stooges origin story. They’re orphans raised by Larry David taking a nun’s vow. Larry David as a nun is funny. The second was the Three Stooges out at work. They were doctors and carpenters. They caused mayhem. The final was a big hoighty-toighty party. I was expecting many pies thrown. They disappointed me.
It was a fun and funny time waster. You couldn’t ask for anything more. I laughed. Everyone laughed. Guffaws! I’ve never heard a real deep belly laugh until the first noggin was knocked together. This lady laughed real loud for every head slap and eye poke. She infected the audience as she made us laugh when at times we didn’t need to. She made it enjoyable.
3 of 5 stars.
