New Computer

Well I finally had time and got to Calgary on Tuesday to go computer shopping.  I tried to look local but they just didn't have exactly what I wanted.  And so off I went.  And found it!  I got an Acer Aspire E with touchscreen and  8 GB using speed and 1 terabyte memory, that should hold enough stuff for a while.

So far I love it its so fun using the touchscreen and kinda weird using both touchpad and screen, sometimes annoying as I hit the side of the touchpad and its like sliding your finger across the screen and it brings up the menu, but I'm getting better at that.  And it has windows 8.1 which I had never used before and so that takes a bit of adjusting to too.  Specially the pictures, boy that's frustrating all the pics on my camera went into yesterdays folder even though they were taken since last August.  So spent a day organizing that.  But hopefully wont be too complicated and I will figure it out.

I just haven't figured out if I can connect my iPad to it and how to connect my phone to it, but I'm sure it all will somehow.

Neil is getting way better, he still gets super tired but almost back to normal, his doctor saw him on Wednesday and he said he was going golfing and the doc said golf all you want golf is for sissies, lol.  But he did go and they used a cart but was pretty tired afterwards, but at least hes getting out and doing stuff now.

I got my friend S to come over on Tuesday to help me move our cows West and she used Jessie so I used Bailey for the first time this year and she was super energetic as always and we went loping after some cows that went the wrong way and she turned after the first one and I was going for all 3 so not expecting that at all and lost my stirrups and she kept going, I dug in with my spurs and grabbed one rein short, I was not falling off!  and eventually she slowed down enough for me to get back in control, and we got the cows back too.  My friend was glad she was on Jessie, she really liked her.  I asked if she wanted to trade and she didn't even though I said I got her broke now.  It was good, my legs were a little sore from hanging on but nothing I cant handle. (no pics I didn't even bring the camera)

Till the next day, I took Bob out to see what was left behind cause I knew we left a cow who was calving back and always a few others think they should go find their calves that they lost along the way.  Well only 6 pairs out and 2 had come back and they took off for the gate as soon as they saw me, lol so that was easy.  The cow with new calf was stupid her calf would run and she would run the opposite way but finally got them together and towards the other 3 and they went to the gate too.  Of course some cow rubbed the gate open overnight to the wrong field so they are now in another field, but at least off the hay.  I hate rope gate ties for exactly that reason, I would much prefer a wire gate tie on a gate built right so its not tight.

 

Somehow in that morning I jarred my back and its super sore although I always say Bob (the side by side) was harder on me than a horse and now I can prove it.  Kinda made me chuckle its supposed to be easier but not in this case, I cant move without hurting but 2 days later and its a lot better.

Deer

I changed by Internet browser the other day to Google Chrome and I have to say I love it, don't know why I stayed with Internet Explorer so long.  Except maybe it was familiar and easy.  But wow chrome is so much faster and easier and with less crashes as well, so I am sticking with it for now.  But in the meantime of course all my favorites were stored in IE and now I am having trouble trying to find them.  It also made me realize my blog list on the sidebar is way out of date, there are blogs on there that I don't read anymore, lots I do read that aren't there, and some who don't post anymore are still on there.  So while finding my favorites I will be trying to update that as well.

Just had to share these couple pics of the deer that are coming in our yard at night.  They are kinda a nuisance and they are getting braver and braver cause they used to wait till after dark till they ventured in, but this was still pretty light out.

But thier hearing is still pretty spot on cause as soon as Neil touched the door handle to open the door, they were gone!

4th Massage

Yesterday I was in Calgary with my friend Linda and we had so much fun. I sure like going with someone it makes the trip so much quicker. I was gonna get my computer fixed (I need a new fan) but the geek squad says to call HP cause its less than a year old so they will fix it for free under warranty.

Linda was looking for paint and books, so we went to Chapters and Michael's and she got both. I needed to buy a gift for my cousins baby's first birthday, so we went to Walmart and I got her a grocery cart and doll, and my sister got her a stroller. Its fun buying for her cause shes got two older brothers, so we buy girly stuff for her so they don't steal her stuff.

This afternoon, Neil went to the dentist and he has to make an appointment in Calgary and the sedation dentistry to get some teeth pulled. I got another massage and my shoulder isn't as good as I thought it was, but my hip is almost cured, just some muscles that want to tense and not relax. Its all getting better and doesn't hurt all the time anymore, so that's always a good sign.
