All we can do for joe and his gubbins at the moment is hope and send [ good thoughts ].
Gubbins is a good, home word. As is grubbins, which is what Mrs B. Cat gets dealt at regular intervals on demand. [ cat voice on ] in her dish [ slap round the head voice ON too ]

Alas theyāve been dead for quite some time. This is a last-ditch Lazarus effort, based on new info regarding the relative frequency of actual physical drive failure and issues with the SATA interface. Faint hopes that one of the three might be at least partially savedā¦
