HAVING TO DEAL WITH 'THE SENIOR' ON MY SIDE OF THE COUNTER

 DAD MUST BE AT WORK SO MOM'S GOT THE LITTLE GALS OUT FOR A PICNIC AT THE BEACH TODAY
Thursday night was cloudy, cool, and windy, and I should have slipped on a nylon jacket over my long-sleeved shirt when I headed off to my country road walking spot.  Oh well, it wasn't that bad, and I took myself for a brisk walk anyway.  No chasing after any flashing white lights after my walk this time and it was straight home I went.  Had it been sunny and warm I might have taken a cruise into and around Bayfield before going home.  Maybe tomorrow night.  Depending on the weather of course.  In well less than six months from now, warm evening walks and and leisurely scenic drives through the picturesque countryside will be a thing of the past until late next Spring sometime.  So, I better get out and do them now while I can. 

 A PEACEFUL SERENE EVENING IN HURON COUNTY'S PICTURESQUE RURAL COUNTRYSIDE
Not off to a good start this morning when after turning on my living room laptop, Microsoft took over and wanted me to blah-blah-blah and sign in to blah-blah-blah and upgrade/download to blah-blah-blah.  After trying to get out of all this stupid blah-blah-blah stuff Microsoft got huffy and 'bang-zoom' all my passwords were gone.  Couldn't get into my Outook email or G-mail programs, Facebook, Grammarly, Statcounter or my Bogger dashboard, etc.  I was dead in the water with all that stuff so it was off to Goderich's ContinuIT computer store I went.  Kelly used to deal with this kind of stuff but that was then, and this is now.  At the counter in the computer store, it took the fella there close to half an hour to get things finally straightened out for me.  He was doing a lot of typing on the keyboard and I could tell he was frustrated.  Of course I wasn't much help trying to come up with unremembered passwords, despite having a written list with me.  Luckily, he hardly charged me anything for his expertise, and I very much appreciated his patience in having to deal with 'the Senior' on my side of the counter.  From the computer shop, it was a Tim Hortons coffee to go, and down to the harbor and out to Rotary Cove I went.  With the sun out, I could feel the day's humidity building rapidly, and on the way home later, I had to flick on the A/C.  

 A WARM SUMMER'S DAY AT THE BEACH FOR THESE CANADA GEESE AND A DUCK
 THIS WOULD NOT BE MY CHOICE OF FOOTWEAR IF I WERE CLAMBERING OVER LARGE BOULDERS
 WHETHER ON THE BOARDWALK OR OFF, IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO BE OUT FOR A WALK OR A RUN ALONG THE SHORES OF LAKE HURON
I had hoped to empty my utility trailer today but I ended up inside for the rest of the day, staying cool with my fans going.  A couple of fans cost less to run than central A/C does............

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A fair haired lady made several attempts to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems finding a buyer because the car had 340,000 miles on it. She discussed her problem with a darker haired lady friend that she worked with at a bar.  That lady suggested, "There may be a chance to sell that car easier, but it's not going to be legal."  "That doesn't matter at all," replied the first lady. "All that matters it that I am able to sell this car." "Alright," replied the second lady. In a quiet voice, she told her friend: "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop around here. Tell him I sent you, and he will turn the counter back on your car to 40,000 miles. Then it shouldn't be a problem to sell your car."  The following weekend, the fair haired lady took a trip to the mechanic on her friends advice.  About one month after that, the ladies met up and the dark haired lady asked, "Did you sell your car?"  "No!" replied the car owner lady. "Why should I? It only has 40,000 miles on it."

Wife: Why are you late?
Husband: There was a man who lost a hundred-dollar bill.
Wife: That's nice. Were you helping him look for it?
Husband: No, I was standing on it.

A man took his Rottweiler to the vet and said "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"  "Well," said the vet, "lets have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and has a good look at its eyes. "Hmm," says the vet, "I'm going to have to put him down"  "Just because he's cross-eyed?" says the man.  "No, because he's heavy," says the vet.

A woman came to her doctor in a panic.
"Doctor, all day long my daughter eats yeast and car wax, and won't get out of bed! What will happen to her?"  "Don't worry," said the Doctor, "eventually she will rise and shine."

  2. What is that low growing broad leaf crop growing in the second photo? Just curious. I can't remember what people grow around there. As for flip flops on boulders, I guess you don't care if you're 20. Glad you are having good days and even have a nice computer place nearby to solve your problems. None around here....unless it's a phone...

  3. Al All your passwords are in your control panel. Here’s how you find them. Just a reminder when you do get a pencil and paper and write Down your passwords just remember to put them in a safe place that you can remember where you put them Seeing how you been to the computer store did you remember to get your (Administrator password )if you have that you can find all of your passwords stored on your computer in Windows
    if you don’t remember that, take your computer back to the computer store and ask them to change the administrative password it’s very simple when you do just write it down
    If you have your administrative password, follow these directions, these directions work on all PC computers
    => Go to the Windows Control Panel.

    => Click on User Accounts.

    => Click on Credential Manager.

    Here you can see two sections: Web Credentials and Windows Credentials.

    => Under Web Credentials, you can find the passwords you use to log in to various websites. Windows Credentials hosts the rest of your logins on the computer.

    => Once you find the account you were looking for, click the arrow on the right.

    => In the drop-down tab, click Show next to the password.

    In the pop-up prompt, enter your administrator password.

    That’ll give you a list of all your username passwords
    Copy them all down pay attention to uppercase and lowercase

    Hope that helps you

    2. This is why I moved over to a Chromebook computer. I haven't had a need in over 15 years to go back to Windows. Plus all those computer head aches are gone.

    3. Thank you for all this. I will definitely look into it. Now where the heck is my Windows Control Panel.

  4. Glad the computer guy was able to help. Surprised he didn't tell you that Microsoft no longer supports/updates (or whatever it's called) Outlook email. I don't use outlook anymore. My telus email address is hooked to Gmail. Not quite used to it yet, but I'll get there eventually.
    In your photo, there are cows grazing in a field beside a field that looks like potatoes, or beans? And there's no fence between the fields. Don't the cows go and trample the crop?

  5. Microsoft alerted me yesterday that someone attempted to get on my computer and that I should change my password which I did.
