Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 
and not worth the trouble.
Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in
So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 
Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.
Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.
Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11
Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

. Quite a successful day I think. Miss 7 gave me a big hug & said she had fun. At the park she went on the flying fox (so did I 
), climbed a big rope structure way too high (I didn’t) & went up another structure that led to a curly closed in slide (I couldn’t fit 
). Her Mum told me that she’d said to her that she likes going to Grandmas as I know a lot of things, I have a lot of facts. Her Mum said it was because I’d been around a long time 
(thanks dear daughter). I told Miss 7 that yes I did know a lot of facts & have to tell her so that she can remember & give me room in my brain to learn new ones 
. All in all, I enjoyed today, but I do think she was glad to go home. I do it all again early in the New Year, different plans for that day. 
and Happy Sunday Funday.
Not too shabby for one afternoon and a little cactus soil/mulch/pea pebble 
I hope they are happy there and start growing again! 
except for some home choirs n builds
