Get An Iphone

I have no doubt that we all have, at one point or another while surfing the web, seen those ads that say click here for an iphone. They run you through tons of hoops, doing offers and giving away all your credit cards and such and in the end I am sure you spend more money than the product is actually worth just to get it "free". Better to just go to a website that sells the IPhones at a reasonable price and buy one. That's where The Source comes into play. They have lots and lots of IPhones that will work on various phone company plans from Bell to Virgin Mobile. It's progress I'm sure. When I was younger you bought a phone, took it home, plugged it in and the phone didn't care if you had Bell or GTE lol These days we all have cell phones and they do care what service you have as they don't all seem to work on every phone company out there. You want an IPhone? Go to The Source and pick out the one that fits your needs and your budget. Get the latest Apple phone and be tech savvy and proud.

No Printer

The tablet I bought my wife for her birthday refuses to work. So, I am in a quandry here. I go to the website and it gives me simple instructions for returning the item to a walmart store. Only one slight hitch. To return it to a store I need only to print out a return slip. I have no printer :( I emailed walmart support to ask them now what can I do. I am waiting for their respionse. Ugh

Zoom

I got up this morning and did my daily PTC work and a few other things like check my emails. Same thing I do every morning. Today was different though. I did not procrastinate, although it was tough, I did what I had to do. I popped the lid off of my tower and inserted the new memory chips in there and managed to do it without any hassle at all :) Plugged everything back in, fired the computer up and viola' 4 gigs of RAM found by the computer! Now my computer can zoom around the internet as fast as the websites will allow. Yee haw!

Get Hitched

No matter your lifestyle it seems that sooner or later there will come a time when you will need an adjustable trailer hitch. Whether it is to haul junk to the waste management place or moving your stuff to a new location, sooner or later we all need to use a trailer and that trailer will need to be hitched up properly. If you are one of those that own a pickup truck you already know about hitches, almost every pickup has a ball in the rear already. But sometimes that ball is not the answer, you need a better hitching system hooked up. Like anything else, you need the right tools for the right job. Whether you are hauling a small trailer or a large RV there are different hitches for each sort of task. You do not want to run the risk of damaging either your truck or whatever you are hauling behind you. Don't need a hitch right now? The company also offers other types of hauling equipment like bike racks, braking controls and trailer lighting. Lighting you will need if you are hauling things and darkness shows up. Don't just shrug your shoulders and hope your equipment will do the job. Take some time to get the right hitch for whatever your towing needs are. It's not only safer but it is a whole lot cheaper than whatever repairs you will need later when you discover the wrong hitch did not work.

Memory

The gentleman from Blair Technology did not lie. He mailed the memory out and it has arrived in my mailbox already :) I am too tired to put it in now so will have to wait until tomorrow when I wake up. Want to make sure I do it right. Then, watch me zoom around the internet :)

Fire Hose

I spent twenty-five years as a custodian at my local college and for most of those years one of my duties was to clean the ceramics classroom and wheel room. This was a most tedious job let me tell you. Getting all that clay up off of a cement floor is hard work using just a garden hose but it's all I had to use. Imagine how much easier and faster this job would have been using a fire hose. If you have a large area to clean and wash on a regular basis then a fire hose might just be an excellent option for you. They certainly put out a lot of water with a lot of pressure. Think of the last time you saw a photo or a video of a fireman hosing down a fire. A lot of water pressure doing a great job of things! This company also offers other products like a dry hydrant system and portable water pumps. Those portable pumps look like something that can be used as an emergency water backup system as well. I may grab one of those for my house as the landlord has twice now failed to pay the water bill and my family has awakened to a house with no water. Five gallons stored away there would come in real handy while we wait for the water company to come back and turn the water back on. I must have my morning coffee, you know. If you are in need of heavy duty water hoses and nozzles and such you should browse their site and see what they have that can fit your needs.

Money!

I love when I go to my email and see that someone, somewhere has sent me money. Sometimes it is game site money that I need to spend placing bounties and sometimes it is site money that I loaned to a player and they are paying me back. Either way, it makes me smile :) Then there are those great days when someone has paid me for performing duties and those payments are in PayPal and are genuine dollars that I can spend for things I need or want. It's how I bought all of my computers. It's also how I had the cash to buy the power chair I bought so, even though it looks like a lot of trouble, clicking those ads and writing blog posts here and there really are worth it in the end :)

Church Seating

My wife and daughter attend a lovely church that has been continually growing for the past twenty-five years now. It gets bigger and bigger, allowing more and more people to attend. And the growth continues now as they are in the process of expanding the main auditorium even more. Not sure why they call that area an auditorium instead of something more religious sounding but since I do not attend that church I really have not cared to ask them. But, whatever they wish to call things one thing is for certain and that is they are now going to need a lot more church seating for all the new attendees. Church furniture, like some churches, have changed through the years. I have only attended one church that had seats instead of the traditional pews but I suppose many people find pews uncomfortable as compared to a chair. I know they are hard on a skinny rear end like mine. My wife's Pastor could certainly use the products this website offers. They have a variety of chairs both metal and wooden with what appears to be comfortable cushions attached. You don't want your church goers squirming around being uncomfortable while you are preaching that just wouldn't be good for church business. If your church still uses pews or perhaps the chairs they have are getting old and not so comfy maybe you should check out the site as well. Perhaps you could buy a row or two for your church and let some people sit in better comfort.

Great Day

I broke down a little and let my lovely wife have her birthday present early. Not all that early, a few hours before her birthday was here. She was amazed when she opened the box! She thought, at best, it was an MP3 player because her old one broke recently. She never imagined a Tablet :-D Lots of brownie points for hubby :)

New Computer

The replacement computer arrived this morning. Very lovely tower. Booted up right away and began the process of installing Windows XP. Had a slight problem reading the code on the computer so that Windows would know it was a genuine product. OOPS. I tried several times but Windows refused the code I entered. So, in exasperation, I gave up and called Blair Technology for help. Got a lovely voice that didn't seem to understand anything I was telling her lol She said she would pass my name and number along to the tech people and they would call me back. Fair enough. While waiting I had my wife copy the code and I entered her copy into the computer and Windows said okay and moved on to the next step. After a couple hours passing the tech guy called and I explained to him what happened. He was apologetic for not getting back to me sooner but I told him not to worry, things were okay. I did tell him that they had shipped out this computer short two gigs of memory from what I purchased. He looked at my order and then was very apologetic and said he would have a talk with the guy that sent me my computer as that is not good. I told him it was okay, I just didn't want the hassle of sending the computer back and all that. He agreed that would not be good but he could do me one better. On Monday he says the missing memory chips will be mailed out to me so I can install them myself. Now that is good business service! Thank you Blair Technology Group. This is the fourth computer I have bought from your company and I always recommend you to people that are looking for a new computer.

Double Ugh

Not sure what upsets me more, this damned humidity or that my computer got screwd over by Windows. The humidity here in the desert continues. I wish Mother Nature would rain and get it over with or just skip it and move on. It is very difficult to breathe well, even with the oxygen tubes in my nose :( Yesterday the hard drive crapped out. I reformatted it and started reinstalling Windows XP. Partially into that redoing the computer power went poof. When it came back Windows refused to continue or redo. ugh! Now I am using my wifes old, slow, computer. It has half a gig of RAM, that's how slow it is lol I do hope the replacement computer arrives soon or I may go nuts lol
