Clear blue sunny skies, cooler but amazing in the sun, and a fix for Suzie's Computer. Really love small towns!

Where are we today ? 
clic a pic to enlarge it
      Was a bit cooler last night but no wind. And a bit later sunrise this morning but it did arrive and blessed us with clear blue sunny skies all day long! And next to no wind this is perfect ! Did get a nice early walkabout for a couple of miles enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

here is a nice peak coming our way
            About 9 am we headed into Ajo with Suzie's sick laptop. First looking for the computer repair guys. No luck, then the Radio shack talked to the nice young lady there. They don't do repairs but gave us the Kyle's name that works at the coffee shop in the square.. She sent him a message, next stop was the chamber of commerce and he recommended the guy in the Thrift shop, so we checked him out. Yes he could look at it but not for a couple of weeks, hmm no good. Suzie checked out the coffee shop and Kyle starts work at noon. We headed back home and at 11:30 she got a text from Kyle and said he was there until 4 pm drop off the computer and he should be able to get it going by the morning.
       In the meantime the lady on the Radio Shack suggested taking the battery out and trying it again! Well heck if this did not work Suzie got her computer working again, the white screen was gone !. But still wanted Kyle to check it out.
heading into Ajo a few times today

love the town square here
          After a light lunch we were  back at the coffee shop at 1 pm Kyle was not busy so did some checking. Ok fine, video card is good, monitor is is good and is working just fine right now, Its like a car he can't fix what is not broken, so he gave us a few tips and simple fixes, Told us to call him again if it happens, and the charge for his time? 5 Bucks, Well heck we have peace of mind and Suzie's computer working again. Really love small towns, talk to a few people and somebody knows somebody who knows somebody that can help us out.
       Did see couple of more murals  that I don't think I took a picture of before.
           Finally we are done our running around, back to home dirt by 1:45 and can  enjoy this wonderful spring time desert weather outside. It was only 55 f (12C) but with the cloudless blue sunny skies it sure feels a lot warmer. I almost put my shorts on but then realized it was 3 o'clock and will be cooling down a bit by 4 so I suffered with the heat for a while (it's a tough life ya know)  Prepped a chicken for the Weber Q tonight and set it on low and slow about 3:45 while we enjoyed more quality reading time outside. Enjoying the smell of this chicken cooking! making us hungry...
a wonderful view with the clear blue skies
Chicken and fresh asparagus done,
I posted the wrong price the other day. not 77 cents a lb
it is 99 cents a lb still a good deal
 
perfect with our salad
 of course left overs and
chicken soup very soon
      As supper was done did manage to get a couple of nice desert sunsets to finish up another great day here in the desert.
sunsetting on the hills behind us
that was it for today
        A nice productive day, getting Suzie's computer working again, enjoyed a perfect sunny warm day and a tasty chicken dinner with my honey. Does not get much better.
        Thanks for taking the time to stop on by and hope you had a great spring day as well.

  1. Wow, nothing like small town folks to get things moving along is there? Got to love that kind of help.

    Love the murals, I noticed that one you hadn't seen before. I thought that might be an Earp in that picture but not sure. I didn't stop to look just noticed on the way by.

    Enjoy the rest of your time at Coyote Howls!!

    1. Small towns can be amazing that why we love them, most everyone is helpful. The murals everywhere are wonderful Think you are right could be an Earp..
      We sure are enjoying it here.

  2. Sure nice of Kyle to take the time to look it over. And only $5. Can't beat that. I thought those murals looked new too. Glad it wasn't just my bad memory.

    You're right. The temperature number looks bad, but actually with bright sunshine and no wind this cold snap is a nice relief.

    1. Kyle is a very nice guy and very honest with us as well.
      The murals are more all the time seem like and ongoing thing really makes it and interesting place.

  3. Glad you were able to get Suzie's laptop fixed. Our rule of thumb from working at the school Board. "Turn it off and on" If that doesn't work, remove the battery and put it back in". My ThinkPad has gone wonky with a blank screen a couple of times and the battery trick has worked for me each time.
    Always loved the small towns, where the somebody knows somebody thing happens. :)
    You had better skies than we did today, craving my sunshine. Bring some with you!

    1. This seems to work this time lets hope is does the trick. Maybe the new battery 3 weeks ago could be part if the issue, But it has been acting up for over 6 months already.
      Small towns is where we are from, love them We are much lower elevation than you, maybe we just stay here longer suppose to be sunnier here.
      Keep warm there though.

  5. Somebody-who-knows-somebody? - Bet everybody-knows-everybody in Ajo! :) Great to see more of the artwork around town,it's such a great place for an overnight or a winter. It was cold on the coast last night too, with snow in Julian, our second day of winter ....

  7. You can take the battery out?? I'd be scared to death to take my computer apart. I'd probably never get it back together!! LOL What a great quick fix!!

    There's that beautiful chicken, teasing me into trying it again!

    1. Yes Nancy you can take the battery out of a PC but not in a Mac Book like we have. Not sure if it was a fix or a fluke , but is seems to be working for the time being.
      Chicken as you know we love, and do it all the time. Nice to have the Weber Q hooked to the large propane tank on our coach.

  8. What a cute town Ajo is! We'll definitely have to get there one day. Nice that taking the battery out and putting it back in seemed to work, but really good that Kyle could take a look at it too. Can't beat $5.00. Sunrise, Sunset and dinner all wonderful!

    1. It is a nice quirky small town, we are really beginning to enjoy it even more. The battery trick worked for now will see how it goes from here. Glad that Kyle could take a look at it and very reasonable as well. peace of mind for Suzie.
      Really loving the weather here.

  9. Taking out the battery was good advice. It's my "go to" solution for most things computer related. Reboot!

    1. It seems to work , never had to do that before but then again ya never know, Re booting did not work so we will see how goes. Computers do strange things sometimes.

  10. Glad to read Suzie's computer ended up being and easy fix.
    It seems we are all experiencing some cooler weather but with the wind gone and blue skies we will suffer through. Even if a few clouds show up...:)
    I now know we will be on the search for those murals the next time we are in Ajo. We have seen quite a few but not all of those. Great pictures.
