found songs missing and some bad grabbed, after checking the bad grabbed I found the CDs in OK condition and played throung the same computer without problems.

I have more songs captured and I do not know if any are missing as I have not done an audit - but I do know my favourite songs are not missing, but there are some tracks that are truncated. Why and how this happened I do not know. 

I think it is only/mainly my ABBA ripped from a two volume "Best of ..." -- of courese some kind souls would say "truncated ABBA? what's your problem?" 😂

🙁My art is boxed away in the garage until the next move.  I have original watercolors from local artists from San Tropez, Paris, Rome, and San Francisco.  I miss my paintings.

Do you collect watercolours of the cities you have lived in or visited and loved ?

We have a few like that ... mainly small pieces (±A5 size)

Strangely not of San Francisco :(

And for Paris we seem to be collecting coffee table books so we can remember districts and street scenes

My mother had moved to San Francisco while I was in college and gave me a 10" x 13" framed watercolor of a San Francisco street car.  Seeing how pleased I was with that, she gave me another.  And another.  And another.

And them my sisters started giving them to me as well.  I have never actually bought one myself, come to think of it.

EDIT

This could be interpreted as meaning I have nothing but watercolors of street cars.  Not the case.  From San Francisco, I have the Golden Gate, a street car, Alcatraz, the Japanese Tea Garden.  From France I have the Eiffel Tower and the harbor of San Tropez.  From Rome I have the ruins of the Coliseum.  I have a couple more but can't think of them just now.

I suspect you and I will be admonished at some point for ambushing this thread 😂

If I were to look for a painting of San Francisco, it might by a streetcar but more likely a row of colourful wooden terrace houses!

From where I am sitting, writing this post, I can see 10 pieces of art ... 2 are from one son while he was going through art school, 6 from my other sonof which 4 I purchased from his gallery showing, and the remaining 2 are reproductions from artists who are not family members 😂

Postcard Row

sounds about right 🙂

sad if there is only one row left !

we have a number atmospheric pieces - the two I have of Newcastle-upon-tyne evoke memories of cold dark wet winter streets as I would walk past B& heading for my favourite thali dish 😂 - so another San Francisco possibilty would be one of a foggy day on the bay

as regards street cars, this picture from our last trip there captures a Melbourne tram doing the rounds of SF:

i used to drive a banana but i now drive a porsche 😕
