54 degrees this morning. Looks like it is going to be a great day.
My posts may be a little different for the next week. My beloved MacBook Air (which is absolutely the best computer I have ever used) is in the Apple hospital getting it's screen replaced, or at least a good checkup. Not quite sure what was happening, but ever since I owned it, it "cuts out" very rarely (probably once every two weeks at the most). I would plug it in and it would start up again with no problems. Sometimes I'll just hit a key. I actually thought I was hitting the "off" key in error and it happened so infrquently that I didn't really think about it.
Then I discovered I could restart it by "shaking" the computer. It hasn't happened for almost a month now, but I decided I needed to get i fixed, especially while i is under warrantly. Unfortuately it has to go off and not come back for 3-7 days!!!! I kept putting it off, but I will need it for some trips and of course for China.
Of course I do have other computers, ipads etc. This is actually being written on a 9 year old GMac i5 desktop, with an 18 year old tv beside it! How time does pass!
I actually got the tv right before I met Aliene (or at least right before we started dating), so I can pinpoint almost the exact date. I didn't have cable tv, since I rarely watched tv, and I decided I was going to stay home more and to out less, so I got cable and a new tv (also, Angela was grouching about it). Of course, i watched it very little. Anyway, 18 years later it is obsolete, but still works fine with the box.
I read this morning where T-Mobile was bragging about "no hidden fees" etc. Try to get the "free" 200 mg for the new T-Mobile ipad. They will stick you with a $10 per month charge and other "hidden" fees and even the T Mobile reps will insist you need to ake the $10 per month "fee schedule". Even after they agree I do qualify for the "free" 200 mg per month, the $10 per month still appears (along with other charges for who knows what (such as usage charges when I only use wifi etc. I literally have to call every bill and the original represetative can't discuss it, so I am sent to someone else etc.
It will be interesting to see if not haveng my regular computer will make a difference in how or what I write.
Relatively busy day. Had an Apple appt. yesterday, learning about "iMovie" (so I can edit by "go Pro" videos and other videos, plus I left my laptop. Going by today to pickup the backup. Also plan to finalize the China trip.
Aliene is back on her regular exercise prograrm, which is good.
Hopefully I can also get the VPN up and running today.
That's it for now.
