A Warm Fire on a Chilly Evening
A New Monitor For the Wife
Her monitor was acting up once again, and her having vision problems we decided that a much better monitor would be a good thing. What a difference it is making in her life. This is one of those, we should have done it long ago things, that while you regret not doing it earlier and so glad you finally did do it. And it is not just the sharpness of the images on the screen, it is also that it is fully adjustable three different ways, vertically, horizontally and tilt.
Backyard Improvements VI
Every time we improve the backyard it seems as if when we look at it, it suggests another improvement we can make. Such was the case here where we added two additional stepping blocks.
It looks much better now that both sides match. The new blocks will eventually weather to match the color of the old blocks. She’s happy, I’m happy!
Fixing the RVLock on Our 5th Wheel
The keypad cover on the entrance lock was deteriorating after just a few years and needed to be replaced.
Step one was removing the inside mechanism.
The exterior mechanism with the original silicone pad removed showing the thin film that was cracking and falling apart.
They offered two types of replacement pads. One was the same as the original, the other was a much more robust pad that actually didn’t cost that much more than the flimsy original.
The new heavier pad installed.
My Wife Did Her Own Transfers with LapLink PCMover Professional!
Here is my wife setting up Windows on her computer. She also transferred her apps, settings and data from her dead computer’s HDD to her new computer just as I did. For her new computer she selected an HP Z2 G5 Small Form Factor Workstation for the same reason I selected my computer. We both had very little room for the computer.
Her new computer is small enough that it sits on top of her table/desk. with the Wi-Fi adapter and USB adapter on top of the case.
