     Just another warm night with windows open for fresh air. Gotta love it.
     Playing with my new mac Book Air. All my files, documents and programs were installed with my time machine. So nice !
      I was having some issues with my apple ID but that was resolved with a phone call to Apple support. And a couple of my programs are not compatible with my new operating system High Sierra but I can resolve those easily when I feel like it. Right now everything I need is working wonderful . And sure do love to have a very fast computer touch pad working and I can now see all the letters on my key board. Maybe a few less typos.LOL  maybe...
eventually got a few nice walkabouts
down the road here
really enjoy the quiet farm country settings here
love these  , what ever they are
love these quiet country roads here
          Worked on our  awning  support for a bit and is working good again. Set up our Weber Q. Got into my Kobo for a while, Chatted with my sister for a while, Love ,my Blue tooth that I can hear right onto my hearing aides form a phone call. It is amazing , that I can now talk pn my phone!!!!  Into the house with Suzie and Sandy to catch up. Then home to preheat our weber Q grill a couple of bone in chicken breasts to go with our salad for supper tonight.

New Mac Book, wonderful warm weather and a very tasty supper,

Where are we today ?

    Another very warm night for sleeping but once again our fantastic fan kept a nice breeze coming in across our bed.
     After coffees and computing this morning. I took a nice country drive into Plattsville, chat with the guys at Pettigrew's garage for a few minutes.
love these back roads around here 
         Then home to pick up Suzie. Headed into the Apple Store in Waterloo to pick up my new Mac Book Air. My old Mac Book pro is 10 years old and has a few issues that are really not fixable. but it still works. So this is the time to replace it. Before we head south. It has worked seamlessly for me over the years, and I do love my Mac book. This new one is thinner and much faster than the old one with 512 GB sold state drive. Plus I can see the letters on the key board on the new one (other key board worn out) my touch pad works (love the touch pad on a mac) and is much lighter a even thinner.
the Apple store in Waterloo
busy as always.
     In no time I had my new computer and can take it home to set up, The Apple system is very easy , so I just let it do it's thing.
old one on  the left new Mac Book air on the right
   Did  a few things to  start the process and hooked up my time machine backup and let it do what it needs to do, Just walkaway it eventually should be just like new again.
Then we sat outside to enjoy our e-readers for a while.
so quiet and peaceful here in the country
     I finally managed to finish this 5 book box set I got from Croft and really loved every one of these books. by Scott Pratt. Joe Dillard an amazing character in this series. Thanks Croft !
      Looking at my home page on my Kobo I have read 83 books and 1;458 hours of reading. Wow, I am really impressed that I have read so much.
Stats  are right here
Another page turner with Stone Barrington,I do read once in while
     A bit later Sandy dropped by with her grands for a visit. And chat for a while.
drive their gator here just because they can
they even have a trailer
coming for  visit
    Soon time for Supper, Sandy heated up some wonderful rolled ribs they had with sage stuffing, I did not make them but they were pretty close to my recipe as Suzie noticed.
love rolled ribs
      I made a salad and Sandy boiled few small taters and veggies, A very tasty and easy supper tonight.
now this was so tasty we enjoyed it all
     Supper all done and we back home outside under our awning on a still warm evening, Finish this blog posting outside and some more reading , just because we can, No need to compute inside when the outside weather is so nice.
      There ya go another nice day getting things taken care of and a tasty meal to wrap things up.
      Thanks for dropping in and hope y'all had a great day as well.
