Surely something good happened to you today

@rhubarbodendron, actually, 10 hard drives and four...no, five SSDs (forgot about the M.2 NVME (OS) drive under my video card).
A lot of it is backup files (I've also backed the important ones up on DVD or Blu-Ray) and just older drives that I've collected over the years. Some applications I use (like music apps) prefer some of the information (samples, etc.) to be on a separate drive form the operating system. I don't actually need most of these hooked up at any one time, but it's just a whole lot simpler to just leave 'em plugged in.
Three of the hard drives act as one (RAID0) for my 4K video capture for faster write speeds. Three I just discovered and decided to plug in again to see what was on them. Nothing of any use, so they're blank now. One was in my NAS (4TB) and since I don't trust that NAS anymore, it's going to be my video storage drive. The SSDs will be my various music-making drives (samples love the fast read/write of SSDs, but they're too small to use as my video capture drives).

The cable raceway kit I received today came with connecting accessories I didn't know it included. I thought I was just purchasing a 9-pack of raceways and that the connectors (various right-angle and straight) were sold separately. Guess not!
A nice surprise.

My sinuses aren't clogged anymore!
Same here. I've been dealing with a clogged ear/sinus problem. There might be a bug going around but I'm over the worst of it.
Today, I figured out how to link my PS4 to my laptop with remote play and record with Streamlabs OBS. (Open Broadcasting Software.) It was a nice surprise. Although, I want to try to remote play with the PS3. Which means that I can record/live stream backward compatible PS1 games.
The tools to build a retro gaming channel for free were right under my nose the whole time.
In my case, it was allergies, but no matter what the cause, clogged sinuses are really nasty.
