Back on the Air

Well it was a simple problem and the guy from Tengonet, Cody, in Austin, Texas, helped me recover.  The problem is that I have one Internet connection with Tengonet that I can transfer between devices and if you attempt to go on the Internet on a device that is not logged in you can get errors.  Evidently, that's what happened, I attempted to post to my blog and was not on the Internet and it returned error 404.  That was then saved in my Internet history, so that every time I tried to post it went to the page that said error 404.  So Cody had me clear out my temporary Internet history files and voalla, I am now able to post, because that error page is not in the history.  See how simple it was.  Now the problem is that my memory is not very good and I did not take good notes on what happened those few days I was off the air, worried more about the blog problem than the blog content, so here goes.

July 23, 24, 25, 26, 2012, Days 38, 39, 49 and 41

Monday - played tennis at Al's place and held my serve three times in the first set, first time ever, and we went to a tie breaker, played with Skip and he was playing very well, but we lost the tie breaker,    5-7.

That's all I can remember about Monday except I'm sure we had a happy hour and great food on the grill, with a nice wine.

Tuesday - I think this is when I discovered that I had left my battery charger for my camera at home and I was running out of charge.  I did have a USB connector from the phone to the computer, so I connected it up, but it only ran the battery down to nothing.  I had a couple more USB charging things for my IPhone and Ipad, tried them with the camera, no success.  So my good buddy, Franz, got on to Amazon.com and found a charger for my phone, so for $4.59, including shipping, I should have a new charger today.

I installed Sharon's Sun Flower, from our trip last year and it is working just fine.  Sharon did not like the way our site was looking, too much junk around, so we cleaned it up so it looks much better.

Chicken on the grill, and a nice wine.

Memory is short

Franz and Marcia loaned us the DVD Money Ball and after dinner I put it in and started watching it was a very interesting movie and just when it stated getting good it crashed.  Tried to get it going but with no success.  Didn't know if it was the player or disk, so I went down to Franz and he tried it in his player and it was the disk.  He sent it back to Net Fliks and a new disk should be coming shortly.

Wednesday - It was all tennis all day.  There is a group of players that plays on Monday's in Donnly and Wednesday's in McCall.  They only have two courts in Donnly and have four courts in McCall, so we sign up for Wednesday.  Three sets, switching with three different partners, was paired with Skip the first set and we won, finally.

That evening the tennis club had a clinic, this time it was on doubles strategy.  The guy running the clinic was very knowledgeable, but talked too much, so it cut down on our hitting time, too much not enough hitting and that is what I am there for.

Lamb Chops on the grill with a nice red wine.

I need to start playing more golf.

Thursday - More tennis.  8 AM, very early for being on vacation and all, Al said they had a conflict with the courts, so we had to start that early.  More of the same, fell back into bad tennis, won some games, held serve some, but lost the sets.  I keep telling myself it is good exercise and keeps me healthy, still would like to play better.

Ah, to the golf course, for lunch.  We went with Franz and Marcia to the McCall Golf Club, they were having the McCall Armature Golf Tournament, so it was hard to find a place to park and it would have been impossible to play golf.  It looked like they had two shot gun starts with 15 flights, a big deal for McCall.  The Burgers were good and the beer was cold.

Happy Hour, Salmon on the grill with a nice three buck chuck.

Hopefully I have it figured out and I can now be more regular, we'll see.
