I started the first full week of the new year with a bang, or I should say a 'splash'. I set my Sunny D on the computer table and it immediately decided to jump to the keyboard and then on to the floor. This move rendered the keyboard totally inoperable. New keyboard was ordered to arrive Tuesday.
Monday
Really difficult to compute without a keyboard. I spent the day visiting in the park. I did make a trip to Pep Boys for an oil change. I had a $25.00 coupon for a $23.95 oil change. Final bill was only $504.00 after we found that the valve cover was cracked and the seal and cover were replaced along with new plugs. PaT is running better.
First show of the season in the rec hall on Monday night. Jeff Gordon entertained a small, but enthusiastic crowd.
He provided a wide range of music from Tom Jones to Elvis. click on the link above for a sample of his music.
Tuesday
The new keyboard arrived so I'm back in business. I also ordered a new mouse at the same time, but it came from a different supplier and it took a detour to Austin.
Wednesday
The new mouse arrived today so my order is now complete and the computer is up and running. I spent the evening catching up on email and blogs.
Thursday
After debating for over a month I finally placed an order for a new camera. I'll hold all information and keep you in suspense on this purchase until it arrives and I can show it off.
Friday
Six of us headed for the Riverside Club for a tenderloin fix. There wasn't much activity on the river except for three Border Patrol boats that were cruising back and forth.
Saturday
Today was basketball day with both Missouri and Indiana winning road games. A little playoff football thrown in for good measure filled the day.
Another good week is in the books.
However did you order a new keyboard when your keyboard was fried? Just kidding - but I order a lot online and would really miss not having an operable keyboard. Hate to place orders by phone...
ReplyDeleteI'm such a good Amazon customer I can order with 'one click'.
DeleteYou sure are a big time Amazon guy. You sure got fast service.
DeleteI was going to get a new camera and then house repairs stepped in to use the money. Maybe if I had bought a newer RV right from the start I could have sold this rope around my neck and be free. Oh well to late for that now.
I'm a Amazon Prime member which means two day delivery and no shipping charges.
DeleteOne of the best things I did was sell the house and buy the RV for full timing. No house maintenance meant more money in my pocket to enjoy life.
Glad to see a bad keyboard didn't stop you from Enjoying the Good Life.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
It slowed me down for a couple of days. When I pushed the space bar I was getting 1 to 10 spaces depending on how long the space bar freed itself from the sticky.
DeleteOuch on both the keyboard, and mouse.. but even bigger ouch on the cracked valve cover repair!

I do the mouse and keyboard on a regular basis. Multi-tasker, eating and computing. I try not to do cracked valve covers though.
DeleteHow many times have you been told...do not drink around your computer? Oh dear....when will you ever learn? This is the school teacher coming out right now...lol
ReplyDeleteYessss, Mrs Weeeeaver.
DeleteI'm a slow learner, but should have it in another 20 or 30 years.
I think you need to stock up on a couple of keyboards if you continue to drink around it. I'm glad that I've never had that spill problem (yet). ;c)
ReplyDeleteIt helps to be fully awake before bringing a beverage to the keyboard.
DeleteWe have to spice up our lives in many ways. Spilling things is the main wayI get excitement into my life.
ReplyDeleteIt gives you a different take on the meaning of a good day.
