So, my new computer wanted a password to unlock the damn thing.  Huh.  And for some obscure reason my keyboard would register only numbers, not letters.  

So, I had to go in circles to reset the damn thing with only numbers, and the password guru didn't like that.  I finally forced the issue.

So... I finally decided to try out Harry's razors.

Goodbye, Gillette. 

Harry's are amazing.

the Yamaha gassers are reliable and need very little maintenance

Yeah, gas not allowed on the course here. Only electric.

I'm gonna get a new one. The batteries are much more reliable.

Over thanksgiving I was driving a golf cart down a street when I heard a vehicle approaching from behind. So I steered over near the side of the road, and all of a sudden these two guys in a souped-up golf cart go racing by; thumbing their nose.

Her car sat in the garage for 3 months, so I asked her about it. We've had it four years and put 8K miles on it. Lots of that was getting it down here...

So, get rid of the insurance and put money in the bank. Made sense. We only "lost" $4K on it, in 4 years.

Your keyboard only typed numbers?  What caused that?  Did you get a Dell?

I can't explain it, it only was the case when I tried to unlike my computer.

Very weird.  I changed the password using my old computer.

This new one keeps having popup ads on it, stuff loaded onto the computer that is "amazing" and I should use.  go away.

I purchased a program to transfer files from old to new.  It took two days.  It seems to have worked OK.  My task bar is weird and some other things are weird.  The screen is nice to have though.

I still have my old computer running side by side.  I hope TurboTax works OK when I use it in a week or so.

Whilst not having a computer (I used iPad as needed), I took the time to pull out storage boxes from my office closet, which was needed.  I consolidated a lot of stuff (and threw stuff out) and have much more room in the closet.  This bedroom has a double wide closet and another small one with a door.  So, I have more room now and less clutter.  Why I kept some of this stuff ...

When I moved, I got tired of deciding, it was easier to pack stuff than decide whether or not I needed it.
