Saturday

Went for an early morning bike ride, there were only 3 of us today.  We picked a new route and went mainly east, in fact well past Signal Butte and made about 8 miles.  The only problem with the route was the wind came up, so it was not only uphill, but we had a nice steady breeze in our face.  I can't believe Larry was up for this ride, but he led the way, so there we were.
  When I got back there were a couple of Marg's buddies here wanting to see what was wrong with their tablets.  One could not do anything with hers, the other could not access facebook. This was a great example of the unknowing being led by the unwilling and unknowing.  Then Marg went out back and brought the neighbour for reinforcements.  We managed to stumble on a video on the one tablet that wouldn't do anything.  It was lengthy and somehow she had 3 copies of it, so it took over 10 GB of space.  Deleted them and then rebooted and voila, it worked.  the other we messed with for a while and then said lets try the reboot, and the same result, it now works.  Go figure, the oldest strategy known to computer users, turn it off for a bit and then restart it still works.
  It was lunch and then we went out to a couple of building supply places.  Marg got some wallpaper that she wants to use on the kitchen wall over the counters here.  Sort of like a backsplash I guess.  A project for a rainy day & there are some forecast for next week, so we will see.  Elmer stopped in to visit with his former neighbours, so we chatted him for a while.  He knew Marg right off and I think he knew me and after a bit of chat did for sure.  He and Marg used to eat dates off one of the palm trees in the park & I used to kid them about getting together for a date.
  When we got back it was time for happy hour where there was a small group tonight.  Probably because a bunch were headed out to supper at the Chinese buffet on Signal Butte.  It was great food and I had forgotten how good, so really enjoyed it.  They had crab tonight, so Marg's appy was crab legs and garlic butter.  We had about 2 dozen from the park out for the dinner, so it was a fun night.  We rode with Kenny, he likes to take 2 other couples in his SUV, do a group thing as it were.
