Got my Conky setup just about how I like it now. Including a simple Conky launcher and all my indicators working just the way I want them. Found an old post of mine (back when I knew what I was doing) and did some tweaking for things that just don't work the same way anymore.
By default, Ubuntu wasn't mounting the Windows partition at boot. I had to fix that; which required editing my fstab file to auto-mount the windows partition at boot so that Conky can see it and report it's capacity.
And for some reason the ${battery_...} commands don't work for me now, so had to figure out a new way to get battery status info.

This is a simplified version of my old multi-conky launcher. It seams the line defining the StartupWMClass is needed now to prevent a double icon issue that didn't used to happen.

Slowly but surely, after my long time away from Ubuntu and Conky, I am getting back into the swing of things.
