Yes, doesn't everyone go to Florida and catch a cold. Of course to the scientist that state a cold is actually caught 2 weeks before the actual cold is notice, thanks to whomever gave this to me. Anyhow I went out for my usual ride this morning. But before that I made another of my version of an egg Mcmuffin. After setting off the smoke alarm I enjoyed a semi burnt breakfast. Of course no one heard it other than me and the neighbors. The in-laws slept thru it. Anyhow on my ride I stopped at the half way point to swing on the swing by the lake. I was joined by a gentleman from Ohio who was out for his morning walk. He seemed to be on the large size so I was a little concerned on the weight limitations of the chain on the swing. It held the weight. We were joined a little while later by Lizzy and her master. Both were from Indiana and Lizzy (being a white fur doggy) was quite friendly. We all talked about Golf (well not Lizzy) and after a while we all headed out in different directions. Got back in time to say goodbye to Tim across the street, he is headed back to Canada to do his taxes. I guess they have the same tax dates as we in the lower 48. Came back in and discovered that Comcast Email was down. It came back up around 7 tonight. I then decided to tackle the big problem of getting the computer I brought down from PA back up and running. The computer was down here last year and developed a lack of memory so I took it North last year. Well it took the better part of the day and some well placed words of wisdom but I finally was able to get it back up and running using Windows 98. This is my old computer that I had "upgraded" to ME. Which was the worst operating system ever created by Microsoft and/or man. So with the help of my laptop and several websites I have it up and running. But now it is looking for Windows 98 SE. Well next time down I'll bring that program with me. Anyhow I then decided to install the Microsoft pilot programs for my father-in-law. The computer looked at them and said they were too old to operate on the machine. One needed to operate in DOS only and not windows and the otherneeded support drivers to work. Normally that is a simple download, but since we don't have internet here that too will have to wait for another day. But at least it is working.
Tomorrow we are having ham and the Mac and Cheese, hopefully I'll do my daughter proud and it will come out fine. And I already checked the smoke detector.
I see my sis-in-law bought a bike, maybe she should of gotten a three wheel bike. Anyhow bikes don't do any good if there sit in a garage or storage bin.
Well I guess that is about it for now
