PLEASE DAD…..CAN I DRIVE THE JEEP
MAYBE WHEN YOU ARE A LITTLE OLDER OK
Not always easy saying goodbye to an old friend. We first met OE back in about 97 & have remained in almost daily contact since that time. OE's departure & sad farewell this morning marks the end of an era for us. I'm talking about Microsoft's older email program, Outlook Express of course. Easy to use, reliable, clean & simple with no advertising. Only disadvantage of course is that it wasn't web based. Other than that we liked the ease of it's filing system & address book.
DOGGY DAYS AT OUR HOUSE
A few last minute things this morning before shutting down our old computer for the last time. Wires & cables were disconnected & soon the computer was sitting in the front seat of the Jeep. A quick walk around the Park Pond with Evie & Kelly headed off to work. Closed the living room curtains so the Motor wouldn't see Evie & leaving in the Jeep & off we went to the computer place in Goderich. Kelly had preloaded a couple of Kongs with cheese & peanut butter to keep Evie busy in the Jeep while I took our old computer into the Continuit Business Computer place. Evie did climb into the front seat but when she saw me coming she quickly hopped in the back & put a big innocent doggy smile on her face. I didn't say anything & just simply told her what a mighty fine girl she was. Same thing when I made a Bank machine stop. Good girl:)) 
LOTS OF ROOM FOR EVIE IN THE BACK OF THE JEEP
Remembered the Hamburger Grill place where a great bacon & egg breakfast including coffee can be had for under $5. So, that's where we headed. Found a parking place right in front where I knew I could sit inside & see how Evie did being by herself in the Jeep for awhile. Enjoyed my breakfast & was pleased to see Evie taking everything in stride. As expected, she quietly sat in the front seat watching people walking by. No ripping up the Jeep interior & no frantic behavior. It was probably 25 minutes before I left the Hamburger Grill & the instant Evie saw me she scampered into the back of the Jeep with that big innocent doggy smile on her face again. What a Sweety Pie she is. Because she had been so good, I let her ride in the front seat with the window half way down all the way home. I could tell she thought that was pretty swell:))
MY BREAKFAST VANTAGE POINT FOR WATCHING HOW EVIE GETS ALONG IN THE JEEP
Chris at Continuit figured he would have the computer transfer done sometime in the early afternoon so I stayed close to home waiting for a phone call…...for the rest of the day. As expected, there was a problem with the transfer so I didn’t pick up the new computer until about 7:30 Saturday night. I put together tonight’s post on our Win 7 laptop earlier. So, now I will ‘Publish’ this & go wear myself out trying to get the new computer fired up ready to whir, whine, whiz & blink.
THE LAST PARAGRAPH: Only reason there was no Last Paragraph Friday night is because I forgot to write it.
GROANER’S CORNER:(( Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

ReplyDeleteElaine
It's been my experience that the bigger the doggie smile, the bigger the guilt. Isn't it funny how they know exactly what they don't want you to know?
ReplyDeleteAL,AL...RELAX...WE WILL ALL WAIT UNTIL IT IS GOOD FOR YOU TO POST...PATIENCE, MY DEAR AL, IS A VIRTUE!!
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure little Cora doesn't realize she is being left out. Sometimes Dad takes her along, and sometimes not. As long as she doesn't see whats happening it isn't going to bother her.
Her paw on your arm us a priceless picture. Such a cutie. I am not looking forward to the time when I have to get a new computer and learn something new again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of Evie and her innocent smile. I think ya got a winner there. Did you at least save her a bite of bacon?
ReplyDeleteLove the pix of Kelly and the fur kids. Isn't doggie love wonderful?!
Al,I thought I heard a scream coming from the direction of Bayfield last night about 08:30PM, were you trying out your new machine?ope it works fine on the first try for you and it is super fast so you can belt out those post's. Eve is a lover, we are both fortunate to have k9 pals that are lovers for life. Be safe out there, Sam & Donna
