Jeez! This warm weather thing is getting old but what ya gonna do? Yeah, not much! And it's only gotten up to 105F here (40.5C) so that's not an unheard of temp. Of course the a/c in our car has decided to take a break. That's unpleasant! Especially since we had it repaired to the tune of $2,400 in April. Needless to say the garage is going to be helping us with that.
I've just gotten a new PC. It's an HP with an i7 core and a couple of TB of storage. It's been a long while since I've had to deal with a new PC and boy is it a giant pain in the ass! I'm used to various pieces of software and now I'm learning I was using antiques. I was using this office software that was last updated in 2011 for heaven's sake. Well, that's dead. And I go to copy my photographs to a flash drive and it turns out 128GB isn't enough room. I've got nearly 45,000 photos on the darn computer. Well, that's why I wanted the 2 TB hard drive on the new one.
On the health front we are all screwed up. My wife's two broken toes have mended but now they are cramping when she walks. My sciatica is still a pain in the butt (sorry, I should have resisted that). And our dog's right front paw is still growing cysts between the toes. This growing old does have disadvantages. I had to go to the DMV yesterday to get my driver's license renewed. They have an online method for doing that but it wouldn't work for me so I asked the clerk about it. She just smiled. "You're over 70 and we want people that age to come in and be tested." Shit! But I can't blame them either. You want to be sure they are still breathing and all that.
One of the things we really like is the mountains that surround us. Here is a sunrise from last month. It's fun watching the sun move from one end of the mountains to the other.
And we do feed the local birds. Here I haven't filled the feeder but the thistle is still pretty popular!
It's ok. I'll get the other one filled too! Thanks for stopping by. Keep washing those hands and staying away from the sick folks.
