Yesterday was the first full day with
the new castor, which I purchased on Wednesday, and I must say it was
a joy cruising Salt Lake with the repaired powerchair. Having
equipment function the way it is supposed to function certainly adds
a level of enjoyment to life. I must confess I am guilty of trying
to get by the cheapest and less invasive way possible. I lost this
castor for the first time about a month ago, blew out the bearings
and I gimped along calling in State agencies, private nonprofits and
other I knew owned chairs similar to mine in hopes of finding a no
cost or low cost solution. I actually gleaned a lot of good intel
with this last challenge but seriously I should have just took the
bullet and purchased the castor. There may have been other issues
that force me to explore other option—it does seem there was a
problem with my chosen vendor and sorta like the only vender in the
city did not have the needed bearing or castor. I tried to get by and
not buy.
We recently invested in an new and
different security system to protect our electronics i.e. our
networked computer systems. We have a system the includes our
desktop, two lap tops and tablets( I think). I hate this stuff
because I always fail at things like pass words, user name and all
the other things one has to remember to be responsible and adult. I
would just throw caution to the wind and use a minimal amount of
security—on the other hand Dianne loves any and all security and
when the security system which came with the original desk expired
she upgraded to a powerful and complicated security system—this
program covers everything. I have tried to accept the new protector
and I think I am doing pretty good but just a I begin to feel
comfortable thinking I can do this, I get sucker punched or better
“security punched” this last hit was the
printer/scanner—specifically the scanner no longer is being
recognized by the desktop. I ran into this as I was trying to scan
an image to up load to my Facebook account. I post an image from my
past every Friday called Flash Back Friday. The posting has become
very well accepted and I enjoy the comments an “likes”. Like any
beast raised or created once created the beast has to be fed. Luckily
I have scanned number images into my hard drive during my “life
Image” project. I am trying to scan in the entirety of my family's
photo record or what is left of the early family photos.
Embarrassingly, the images I have posted are of me and I guess will
always be so until I run out images. I have a few more images in
folders on my desktop but after about three more weeks I could be in
trouble. I will have to get into settings an figure out a way to
have one machine recognize the other then the problem will be
solved.
Actually I am going to let Dianne to
searching and figuring out. Dianne has become the computer expert
technician in the household. I was the computer wizard when only I
used the computer, I worked on luck and tenacity I worked on a
problem until eventually I tripped on the solution. I was terrified
anytime I was called to replicate configuration or process. Where
Dianne actually works out the problem, Diann even calls Technical
Support and will work with Support and an acceptable solution is had.
So I am not too concerned I have the time before I nee to post the
next Flash Back Friday.
