thanks Joe, I have 3 fairly new Seagate externals, and one is TM.

I don't know who to do much of that stuff. Someone said, you? those launch deamons are harmless. I have no idea how to get rid of them.

Took a peek into console, have no idea where to find those crashes.

TM was powered and fine when I did etrecheck, and in fact, every morning when see those eject notices, the drive is always 100% mounted. And only get those badges in morning, never ever when I'm awake.
