2015 ended With a Roar....and the Lion is still Roaring

...and a Happy New Year to all.....hoping this post finds all Healthy, Happy, and Safe.....Its been a Sporty month for me....I guess it "Builds Character"....as my Father use to say. Glad to be able to be using my computers again....

When I had returned from my camping trip I had some serious Sinus issues...Had it the entire trip...so I thought I would wait a while to see if it cleared up...it didn't...Jogged on down to the ENT Guy...strong antibiotics  for 10 days and a ct scan....tried to get flu shot...nothing doing until you are off the antibiotics for 10 days....next I get the word, a little gum surgery needed...more drugs...again can't get my flu vaccine...Christmas rolls around....my camera not working...very little focus... excuse to buy a new camera...Merry Christmas Horst...get flu  shot....and damn if I don't come down with some sort of Bug...not blaming the vaccine...wasn't feeling that great before...oh well that will pass....or not.

So here I am layed up...maybe a little computer time may perk me up....the Apple starts doing stuff as though its been taken over my demons..  :)...I close it down, thinking maybe a virus got it....make appt for the Best Buy Geeks to look at it...not to fear, I still have a laptop...turn it on, look at a couple items...and a blue screen comes on...states don't touch it, don't turn it off..call this Microsoft number...thinking its a scam.. I call Best Buy Geek squad...try to turn it off, its locked...it is a scam...they tell me to unplug it and hit the off key... it sits until they make their "House Call" on both of my computers, I still felt kinda crappy...on more than one front.  What worried me is that I had one of my photo external drives hooked up the the LT.
So basically I'm not feeling great, can't do any computer work...which included not reading blogs or writing my own post.....I tried to sleep...coughing keeps me awake most  nights....so I read the camera book ...can't wait to get out and take some shots......

Its 12 January....Greek Guy from best Buy arrives 0845....short story he does his magic on the Laptop and does a "diagnostic"....on the laptop and Photo external drive...gives me a thumbs up...then goes about his business to tackle the "possessed" All in One Mac.....again does his magic and another thumbs up...does recommend a new mouse....spent a good portion of the morning here and with my Geek card cost around 53 bucks... That card has paid for itself a long time ago...why has my font changed...so maybe they didn't fix it....oh bother.

....I'll get this post off...read some Blogs, play a little with my camera, take some "strong" medicine and try and get a little sleep...and maybe  by next week  I can go on some Day Trips and try out my new camera....or keep taking strong medicine and pouting..... till next time take care and Safe Travels to those that are starting some new adventures....One of my Buds, that has a 40+ foot RV headed West the other day to Quartzite...I can only wish....Horst sends
