I've Had a Major (computer) Illness!!

Happy Thursday everyone, did you miss me? I'll admit it, I've missed you. Remember a while back when I said I was in computer purgatory? This week, it upgraded itself to computer Hell. My fairly new HP lap top (three years old), decided it was going to malfunction. The right side of the screen flickered a few times, and then went black. After a trip to the computeroligist, and the application of many dollars, Little big HP is running again. The repair of, that was supposed to take 24 hours, ended up being six days. What a PITA, (pain in the ass).(Can I say that here?). The computer doctors suggested I put it up on craigslist and sell it, immediately. I'm not quite ready to crank out another thousand dollars, so, we will see how it does. I have received several e-mails about why I haven't posted. Now you know, it was due to illness. Don't you just hate sick computers? The bad part is that my software was corrupted and I spent nine hours yesterday, trying to restore to a point that I can work with it.


In a continuing effort to share some of the musical highlights of my life, I offer this next vid. It is by my friend, John Sprott. Here he is doing his version of "Sleepwalk". John is very much a master guitar player. See if you don't agree....

                                                    
                                                        
I have done a lot of work on my house this week. I still need to move out the furniture and actually put up my for sale signs. This is the final step in my transition to full-time RVer. I got my banners in, both of them. Here is what they look like. That is my real phone number, so don't call unless you're interested in buying this lakefront house, okay? The rest of this week, I have several nagging projects that must be taken care of, before I advertise my house in the local papers.

Is it hot where you are? We have set several records, for the heat, so far this summer. Both of our major firework shows have been called off, due to fire risk. Fireworks had been banned county-wide. This is the first time I remember it ever happening. Of course, we have had no rain since October 2010. What do we need? We need some of this right here......

                                                     

                                                          

                                                       


I am having a bit of a problem restoring my photos. There are almost 3000 of them that don't want to load. Here are a few that were left on my camera.

One hairy fellow!

I would like to express my gratitude to those that wondered where the heck I had gone. That really makes me feel good. I'm very proud of the family we have here. My dream is still alive in my heart, and I proceed with confidence that it is going to materialize. I have to tell you, though, patience is not one of my strong virtues. I read of my fellow RVers in their travels, and it seems as if I am consumed by RV envy. I do know that I will get there, it's only a mixture of time, desire, dollars, and a new stepping out of my faith. Anybody want to buy a lakeside house? I know you're out there.
