New things

I'm sure enjoying my new laptop, but I still haven't managed to get my email to work on it.  I've never mastered a Mac, but at least I've never had a virus on one either, and that's what I like most about Mac's.

Someday I'll get Zac to set up my email for me.  I'm not that worried about that since I mostly delete email on my phone anyway.  It's mostly advertising.

I bought another new riding lawnmower Thursday.  My old one is about dead except for its brand new battery.  I have a zero turn for the yards, but I needed a riding mower for the steep bank out front.  I didn't realize that they had all gotten so expensive.

 

Laptop problems have gotten worse

 I haven't used my laptop for several days now and now it won't connect to the internet.  I had to mirror my iPhone to it to get this far.  I can't wait until these holidays are over with so that my grandson can help fix all the problems I'm having with my new laptop.  It surely has to work without my iPhone being around because what if I lose my phone somewhere in the house and I can't find it.  How will I be able to use my laptop then.  Or what if I get a new cell phone that isn't an iPhone, then what?  I also need email on my laptop which I don't have either. 

UPDATE: My laptop is now connecting to the internet......and yes, my internet was on the first time I tried to connect to it. 

Adventures with a new Mac

I thought I was doing really well setting up my new Mac, but it turns out that I'm not as good as I thought I was, and I will definitely still need lots of help from my grandson Zac.

I let my laptop choose and keep my many passwords secret, and in secret they remain.  Zac knows where to find them, but I sure don't and they are not transferring well over to my new laptop from my old laptop.  The Apple Store made it look so easy too with other purchases, just use my iCloud passwords and WALLAH, all my stuff moved from one place to the other.  Well, not so easy.  They must have other magic tricks they do.

I hope I'm not posting this on Catzilla and Friends again.  This new laptop doesn't say which blog I'm on I just noticed.  You have to hit the Preview button to see for sure.  You can find my other laptop adventures on Catzilla and Friends and I didn't move them here because I didn't know how.

I've been good...and I know I'm spoiled

I didn't cry on Monday July 20th and was good so Jimmy rewarded me with a baby mini notebook. I asked for an iPhone but I didn't really want to pay that extra monthly charge for internet on it, in addition to the regular monthly cell phone bill, so while in the AT&T parking lot I changed my mind about getting one of the newest iPhones out.

Jimmy then asked me what else I wanted and I said I'd like to go to Red Lobster and see if their food has improved since the last time I was there. We only go to Red Lobster on birthdays, so I was going to have to wait until July 27th, but Jimmy made an exception. During our rafting trip, Zac celebrated his birthday at Red Lobster in Pigeon Forge, Tenn and the food there was good. So that's why I was going to give ours one more chance. And yes, the Shrimp Fetticini Alfredo & Shrimp Scampi was good, but you'll have to judge the rest of the food for yourselves.

After we ate, Jimmy drove across the road to Office Depot where he bought me another Hp, but this time a mini to carry on my bike. He knew that I had always wanted a mini for my bike and I look at them all the time, but I only look. When we're on trips it doesn't really matter if I have internet or not and whenever I come across free wireless service, I take advantage of it if the signal is good. I do love keeping in touch with everyone while we're on a trip so while Jimmy is watching TV, I answer email.

Today Jimmy is off to have a front tire put on his bike. We both need front & back tires, but they only had one tire in today for his bike. The weather was nice when he left but I hear rain dripping from the over flowing gutter out front. Not a good sign. I hope it quits raining before he starts for home and I hope it's not raining there in Stanford where the bike shop is.

Speaking of tires...I was reminded of someone who did a tire count, so I did my own tire count and Jimmy has 26 tires that he has to make sure are always in good condition. I had no idea that we had so many tires to take care of. Have you counted your tires lately? I know that Ron has because he's the person who did the tire count.

Don't forget to count your riding lawnmowers....
