Jeez Gary...you are really pushing the envelope driving that far and working that hard after all you have been through. Take it easy.
As to the failed thumb drive...I forgot to eject one from my computer the proper way and just pulled it out of the jack. From that point on all I could get was a message to format the drive. I finally did...but it was fried. Fortunately I had a back up stick and all files on a computer. I try to back up everything monthly.
