GLORY BE ITA BACK

 Y'all  Check it  You have 25 days after you screw up before Google Man deletes your stuff permanently  TWENTY FIVE  So I re-subscribed to the G Suite and BAM everything returned unharmed  lesson : READ THE WARNINGS AND SLOW DOWN  Tell a friend they have 25 days to unscrew and there is a 14 day free trial too  But I'll stay at $30 a month and drink cheaper wine each month  Thanks MTP Vinny   (you know who you are) 

Lesson learned

 Welp I managed to delete 8 months worth of work from my Google Drive.   In an effort to repurpose the budget for a Podcacst I managed to unsubscribe from Google G Suite Enterprise. I found a better audio and video platform to record remotely.  Today I learned that this also deleted the DRIVE folder instead of just reverting to teh free storage level and it also killed my buzz@racecarmechanic.com e mail.  Lesson learned.  As we used to say in the barn, Start over, do better and don't fuck it up this time !  ...-rob

You will see - they are a part of the film.  On that I decided to star
