When things seem to be getting better, the opposite happens. I’m referring to my computer being out of order.

This is the way things developed: I got a phone call from the Mac Repair Service and was told that the computer was ready and working, to this effect I immediately asked “Is it really fixed?”  The guy on the phone told me that they have made every test they can do and came out okay… but they have found the Logic Board to be flawed and they can not fix that in their Lab.

I said,  “So you didn’t fix the computer!” He said, “You can still use the computer but it’s going to fail again at any moment. By the way your warranty has expired already and the only way would be to send your MacBook Pro to the main Mac Plant and they would replace any parts needed for $499.00 + Tax. this includes the migration of all data held in my computer. They FedEx the computer for refurbishing and FedEx back  in one week or less.”

So I opted for the repair. (I wasn’t going to spend $ 1,500.00 for a new one!)

I returned home but I was feeling stomach ache for 2 or 3 hours… cool it HJ!

The weather is not cooperating at all to take pictures, it’s too windy or too cold or both!

I really have no desire to expose myself to the cold, after the bronchitis I just had. It hit me hard no doubt, I don’t feel like going back to another bout of it!

It’s rare that I get chest colds or bronchial problems. I’m almost over with it now but I felt awful when I had it.

I’m using my other laptop for my posts but I don’t have access to my latest pictures, they are in my laptop that is being repaired.

I keep feeding my birds but they come all through the day and makes it hard for me to be waiting in the cold until they show up.

Meanwhile I’m posting some photos from my Archives.
