And so the week continues...

Old School?

Yes.

But I think that I am ready to return there.

In today's episode of

Me vs. Best Buy

or

How Many Trips Can You Make to Pittsburgh In A Week?

you will find

ME

that's right,

this episode stars ME,  AGAIN

driving AGAIN

to

Pittsburgh

to return

the computer that we bought

because Best Buy told us our other one was trashed.

Unfixable,

Unrecoverable.

lots of "un" words.

This purchase included

a laptop,

a tech support package,

an

external cd drive...

well just read the previous post to get the drift.

 

And then,

we called the local computer guru.

Keep him in good Columbian coffee,

give him some smoking breaks

and

viola!

The old computer is up and running fine.

(I would say that Best Buy should hire him...

but he really doesn't fit the

Geek Squad mold)

and

he probably wouldn't sell many computers,

he would manage for fix the OLD ones,

therefore

violating the Best Buy code

which in my opinion today is...

"Tell them the old computer is crashed so they buy a new one."

I will keep you posted, of course, on how that return plays out!

 

Part Two

 

My long time painting friend,

Gerry,

offered some gourds to me from her garden.

Kendall and I picked them up on Wednesday.

 

They were still in my car yesterday

and

since I was going to Pittsburgh and needed

a lot of other stuff

I needed to get the gourds out of the tailgate.

JWS and I discussed where they would dry for the winter...

he had opinions..

lots of opinions.

A lot of micro-managing where they should go.

 

I thought that they should go in the attic of the garage.

He was not liking that idea.

I left work early

and let's just say,

The gourds are where they need to be

and

two little boys are each

$5 richer

and

little boys don't

Micro-manage!
