Storage

Well, that was a bit of a change. The weather had changed overnight. There were gusty winds this morning and a few heavy showers rattled through. We were clearly lucky as other parts of the country got well and truly soaked.

The Gorse Fox took Cousteau-cub in to work then settled down for breakfast. The Silver Vixen was due at the dentist and the Gorse Fox had football scheduled. Nothing would happen until he had had his coffee and porridge though.

As he drove across to Worthing he blasted through a number of showers and when he started lapping the running track he got truly soaked. Despite the weather, we had a good turnout today. The Gorse Fox played for the "black-bibs" and we did well with 2-0, 2-1, and 3-0 wins. A very good hour made all the more interesting by a very strict referee. In the second hour, we had a complete change of personnel. Again, the Gorse Fox ended up playing for the "black-bibs". We started with a disappointing 4-1 loss, but then won 2-1, and 2-0 and the Gorse Fox managed to add to his goal tally for the year.

Back home the Gorse Fox went to help Two Hats. The idea was to install the housekeeping routine he had written and to separately install a larger flash drive for archiving the images and clips. In the end, we only managed to install the housekeeping routine as the existing drive was already 100% full and the new drive he had available would only have given a couple of extra days storage. Clearly, the camera is consuming storage at a prodigious rate and the new drive would not give much respite. The plan is for Two Hats to look into getting an external USB drive that will give much more headroom. When he has decided and picked up the drive the Gorse Fox will return to set it up for him.
