Shopping is probably my least favorite thing to do, and shopping for computers rates even lower on the list! After doing everything we could to get our laptop to re-boot, including enlisting the help of the IT guy at the campground, we had to admit defeat. In order to use it again we'll have to Restore it, which will wipe out all of our info. So, before that happens, we have to get the info off, and onto another computer.
Our laptop is 6 years old, so we knew it was a matter of time.
After learning more about intel processors than I ever wanted to know, we finally bought an Acer V5 touch screen laptop.
It wasn't as simple as it sounds and Paul gave up because he has stuff that HAS to get done today. I took over and have been on the phone with Microsoft for an hour. Looks like they got it to work. Once its loaded, we can get our stuff off the other hard drive, but for now we still have no computer.
So, what did Paul need to do that is so important? He had to take care of this mess:
Obviously our hitch and toolbox are not in the bed of the truck. What we DO have is tons of wood. All of it had to come out to put the toolbox etc back. We are leaving here Friday, so no time to relax.
Well, ok, we did take Some time to relax.
Last night we went out with a friend of mine and her husband. I've known her since I was about 5 years old, and she moved out to San Diego a few years ago. We had a great dinner at a (surprise!) Mexican restaurant.
Back to the truck. We emptied the bed to pick up the new-to-us truck camper that we bought last week. We have already dropped it off in Fresno, but that's another story- one that will be told when I can post Pictures with it! Yesterday we picked up a bunch of firewood because we're headed to the desert for two weeks. We may have to leave some behind though. That's a LOT of firewood!
In the meantime we are taking care of all those last minute things we need to do when we are leaving a spot after being there for a month.
