| OUR FOREST WALKING PATH IS FILLING IN NICELY AGAIN THIS YEAR |
How nice to have ourselves a cooler day going on. My good friend Richard picked me up at 10 a.m. & we headed off on a backroads coffee tour this morning. Hadn't done that since last summer sometime & of course it was a couple hours very well spent again. With both Richard & having reclusive introverted personalities it's amazing we ever get out at all. We did agree to get ourselves another coffee brew-up going again in a couple weeks. Still more of the world's ills to be resolved. Richard & I have been good friends for 40 years now & I have written about our friendship a few times before over the years.
We will probably combine this repair with Kelly's next appointment at London's University Hospital on June 18th. Will take the rig & tow the Jeep leaving the Motorhome at Forest City Motorhomes while we slip over to the hospital. Hopefully repairs will be done & we can pick up the rig a few hours later & head back to Bayfield. Well that's the plan anyway.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Needing some clothes cleaned in a hurry, a man searched the small Georgia town in which he was visiting until he found a sign which read: "Cleaning and Pressing, 24-Hour Service." After explaining his needs, he said, "I'll be back for my suit tomorrow." "Won't be ready until Saturday," replied the proprietor. "But I thought you had 24-hour service," the customer protested. "We do, son," the proprietor said reproachfully. "But we only work eight hours a day. Today's Thursday - eight hours today, eight hours Friday, eight on Saturday. That's 24-hour service."
---As an engineer in an upscale hotel, I was asked tAs an engineer in an upscale hotel, I was asked to repair or replace the television in a guest room. When I arrived, the couple was watching a picture one-third the size of the screen. I knew all our spare sets were in use, so I figured what the heck - I struck the side of the TV with the heel of my hand. The picture returned to full size. "Look, honey," said the wife to her husband. "He went to the same repair school you did."
Beautiful flower pictures Al. I never used Live Writer...thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteGreat news about the MH part.
Windows and Google no longer play well on the playground. Your blog text color looks better than last night but just a shade too yellow.
ReplyDeleteI think I feel as frustrated as you do. What a time I had this afternoon with the old Blogger platform. I wish I could get rid of the red border around my pics. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteIn case this is duplicated, it is my second try at commenting - sorry. Laughed out loud at the lawyer/pigs groaner in the subscription/e-mail version. Note to readers: If you have trouble reading the yellow on white text, select it as though to copy and it will be clear.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a dog in this fight since I use blogger only, however it seems this is more of a Microsoft glitch than Googles problem. Live Writer is an old program and hasn't been updated for a long time and with the changes over time in Apps, it hasn't kept up. Most likely they will come out with a "new" version sometime that you can purchase and be back in business.
ReplyDeleteI can't count the number of programs that run on Windows that aren't backward compatible for various reasons. Got to keep churning the new programs for sale.
You still have a great blog and your pictures look great.
You are lookin good! The path through your forest looks so inviting. Do you have mosquito problems?
ReplyDeleteYour post looked great, Like I said before I have always posted directly to Blogger and had Live writer on my mac I guess all depends on what you get used to.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your coach.
THis is a junior high school tit for tat fight between google and microsoft. Both are ignoring their customer's needs and desires. I really hate that so many people are going to cave on this and keep their business with Google. I wish they would lose every blogger who used to post with Livewriter and that they would all move to Wordpress. I've heard that importing to workpress is easier than using blogger straight up.
ReplyDeleteI had no problem making the transition from blogger to WordPress. Pretty much just the push of a button.
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful and thanks for including the lovely forest path - it looks like such a cool retreat. Great to get such a quick response from the dealer, and that they have the part in stock. Sounds like it turned out well all around on that little mishap!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I prefer LiveWriter I did learn to post directly from blogger when needed. Of course now I'm using WordPress. Thanks for toning down the text color and increasing the size. Gorgeous flowers your way now. Hope the dealer can fix that problem quickly.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like this toned down yellow better - it's very easy to read. I enjoy using just Blogger. I backed up all my posts to Wordpress - but honestly, I keep it as a back-up. I like using Blogger, thank goodness.
