Sunday morning, 08:54 - about 40 miles (65Km) away.
Why do I always get the 80 mile round trip on a Sunday morning, when the neighbours get a 5 mile round trip at a civilized time on a weekday? 
Still, I'll be glad to get it, even if I do get the same side effects I did last time*. At least this time I can plan for them instead of them appearing as a "bonus prize". I won't be answering the CCC on Friday, for example ...
* I guess that side effects are proof that your immune system is working it's nuts off to kill the intruder!

I had quite a reaction to my first one but no problem with the second and I thinks that's quite common with Astrazeneca.

In two weeks time I'm going the get my first one.

Good luck! I had nasty side effects, but they didn't last long - the worst was over in around 24 hours, but the injection site remained "hot and red" for about a week.
If you plan to be completely useless the following day (spend it in bed) and you get no problems, then great!

Good luck - got my second BioNTech last weekend (they do not say Pfizer in Germany  ) and was not able to walk for the next and half day.

Congratulations! I got my second Moderna shot over 2 weeks ago so now I'm fully vaccinated. Each shot only gave me a sore spot on my arm, nothing bad.

I was lucky. Work paid for and scheduled my jabs. Herself wasn't she had a 3 hr trip one direction to get hers. But the second one for her. She and I made it a date day and just drove down and had lunch on the way. Made for a wonderful day. Until her reaction that night.

I get my second shot in two weeks.
I guess it's no consolation, but the sideeffects I got from Biontech (Pfizer) was pretty nasty as well.
The day after my arm felt like someone had hit me. The day after that I had a fullblown sinus infection, which luckily didn't last.
But apparently that sideeffect is so uncommon I was told to get tested just in case.

Hopefully Jab#2 will be easier on both of us ... I'll post how I did here next week, but I'm prepared for a "bad day" the day after. If nothing happens, that's a bonus!

Is there an online system where you are that you can log on and rearrange the location to somewhere more convenient?
Did that for the wife when it was going to clash with a holiday and was able to choose a location a couple of miles away instead of the original place that was much farther away.

( Censored! ... ) This long a wait? 40 mi.? When I got mine ( month ago ) it was 4 mi. and I think the worst possible in the county would have been 10. Now it's drop in at ( list of supermarkets, drug stores ) so 5 places in 2 mi.
We had different luck. ( Pfizer ) I had a sore shoulder and a bit extra tired for a day the first, less than that the second, she got one wiped day the first and 2 miserable days the second.
( But Lou, got the first, pulse jumped to 140. No take second )
Good luck.

I've been cleaning up my work area but one thing that I never seem to get a handle on is the pile of old hard drives. And I'm guessing that many of our crowd have the same issue.
The thing is that whenever I get a new computer and get rid of an old one I pull the hard drive. The plan of copying out important stuff (really?) before I wipe the drive. That's the plan, but the reality is that I don't quite let go. Did I get everything I need? Why not check one more time later...
and the drive joins the other drives somewhere in a closet.
How many retired hard drives have I accumulated? About a dozen. Occasionally I actually finish and get rid of some. Or more truthfully a small EMP event confined to my closet and storage might actually be a good thing for me and save me some wasted time and space.
Do others in this group have similar behavioral issues like this?

I've got three sitting on my window sill, and two platters in use as coffee mug mats.
I keep noticing the three and thinking "I must wipe or destroy those" but ... find the time, Griff!

Is there anything that can be done with old hdds ?

Redundant, offline backups?
Although I fully realize that, eventually, keeping a 500GB drive around is pointless.
I must have 40+ "spare" hard drives right now. By now I've given up all pretense that I'll ever do anything with the IDE ones. At least I don't have a single SCSI drive anymore...
I still have people who show up every once in a while with a laptop with a dead hard drive. More often than not, I'll just give them one of my spares, which is still larger in capacity than the dead one I'm replacing for free.

I purchased a Sabrent external drive reader -- it accepts SATA and SSD drives. Essentially, it turns them into stable flash drives. I use my stack of HD for backing up large data sets, such of photos.
I also have a stack of small EIDE drives that I can't read. My current MB doesn't have an EIDE connector and the external caddy doesn't have the interface. I'm afraid to recycle them as I have no idea what's on them. Could be old files backups, including financial records.

Yes. Eventually, I drill a hole through them and discard in the appropriate bin at the waste recycle joint.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I don't drill a hole through them; I just use DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) at its DoD setting to wipe and zero them before taking them into IT at work for disposal. They have a repurposing program for old hardware (for families who can't afford a computer), so if someone can use my unneeded hardware - why not?
Unless you are storing media on your system drive, a 500GB drive is likely to be more than enough for your needs.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
