Update: deleteing the files in the consensus folder allowed the blockchain to reload and looks to solve my issue... well we will see, downloading the chain again...
Error message was reading the following: do not see this type of error on the blog with link above.
Will try dropping the Consensu.db and reloading. I was late to update so maybe I am stuck on a fork.
what do I need to delete to reload the blockchain but keep my wallet keys?
