So after all of the kvetching M$ has been doing about upgrading to Win10 and reading about all of the people who have upgraded with no problems, I decided to to go ahead and load it on the big box and ,,, it crashed and burned.

I should have known better. There is no way of telling why it generated the error code, actually the error code is fairly pointless as it doesn’t actually tell you what broke, only a list of what might be the problem, as in the utility that was supposed to check to be sure that the hardware was compatible with Win 10 may not have told the truth when it said “Of course it is!”

I’ll check later, because I have other things going on, but I won’t attempt to change this machine until I figure out what is going on.

This race has more checkpoints than I-5 [SoCal humor] and a lot of the action is going to take place at night because it has been in the 40s so far and that’s hot for the puppies.

Jan Steves (25) is the first musher to scratch. He left the race at Skwenta. Martin Koenig (86) joined Jan at Skwenta.
