Comment on RIP Bob of Sugar Shack Fame by Kat

Hi Bob & family,
I too must compliment you on a great Maple syrup shack. What a great experience I had there. I haven’t been in a long time and for years I’ve been trying to find if you are in still in business. Congrats on your retirement!! So, I have a question, does the sugar shack still exist at the same location off Old Base Line? Have the new owners taken over your buffet breakfast and sugar shack farm? I would love to still go. Please let me know…Kat

Thanks for the tip, Kim! I’ve never heard of he Epley maneuver before.

I read through the info and the only thing that wasn’t clear to me was they keep talking about the affected ear vs unaffected ear… how do you know which one is the affected one?

Two friends of mine say Epley maneuver works to stop the vertigo. I have the ringing myself and have tried many “cures”. I think it’s getting better on it’s own…

I can’t get the image out of my head now… great big happy linty mamoths prancing and frolicking about in the snow…

I already have such card, however this device is not active during boot. Ant there is no such device to enable in the BIOS Boot order. I will get IDE to USB converter and attach the HDD to another computer, from which I will recover the GRUB.

I think if the MBR was wiped, then you wouldn’t even get the grub rescue prompt. You should be able to use the rescue commands to at least mount the hard drive and list what’s there; if it was just the /boot/grub directory that was lost then you can rebuild it by mounting the drive on another computer.

Another option, if the computer has an empty PCI slot would be to install a USB i/o card, that should give you working USB ports. Either that or put a CD or DVD ROM drive in it if there’s room; either option would cost less than $20.

I installed Ubuntu long time ago then my USB ports malfunctioned. When I needed reinstallation I used the kernel and initrd to perform network installation and it worked perfectly till today. Something wipped my grub or MBR (i’m not that experienced) and when i start the pc it enters “grub rescue” mode. I still have the kernel and initrd on the drive, but without the .mod file I cannot use the commands to load the needed files and perform the installation as I usually do. I guess the only thing remaining is to mount my HDD on another pc with working USB or CD ROM, as yuo suggested.

Thanks
