Did You Miss Me?

My last Blog Post was on May 7. So what happened between then and now?

I made the painful discovery my laptop was not charging. My laptop is my library access for research and study which culminates in a blog post.

SO, I needed a fix. I have a trustworthy tech guy I use (in case you live in Tulsa County Oklahoma – Eddie The Computer Guy). I gave him a call. It turns out the port I plug my power cord into was messed up. Eddie fixed it but had to order a part. The full service cost me pennies less than $171.00. (So if any readers want to help a Baby Boomer fixed income Senior Citizen defray that financial hiccup, here’s a PayPal donation link.)

I picked up my repaired laptop Wednesday afternoon. Fired it up Thursday morning. I have a little less than two weeks of email subscriptions to sift through. Then decide on a blogging topic to research and write. It might be a couple of days for my next post.

Between May 7 and now I have tried to stay involved on Telegram and Substack by sharing utilizing my old Android Smart Phone. Frankly, I do not relish doing Social Media via a phone. I’m a bit old school when it comes to phone usage.

Just a heads up. My wife (Diana) and I will be celebrating 36 years of marriage on June 5, 2026. From June 4 through June 7 we are going on an ANNIVERSARY Vacation based on some good deals my honey discovered. I probably will not be blogging much then. If my honey goes window shopping, I’ll probably revert back to Telegram and Substack Sharing. If any of our friends of and family are readers and want to chip into making our ANNIVERSARY Vacation more enjoyable, HERE’S THAT PAYPAL LINK AGAIN.
