Computer/ Weeds / Parade

I bit the bullet and finally purchased a new computer.  It sat in the corner for eight days as I was having second thoughts.  This past Saturday I decided to finally set it up.  I would like to say that it went smoothly but I would be lying...you know how bad I am with technology :-(

For years I put off buying one as they were equipped with Windows 8 and I can barely navigate around Window 7.  This Windows 10 from my point of view is not any better. Where are my e-mails?  It forced me to set up a code to have access to it...but I can't see them!!!

I want to set up Chrome but it wont let me.  Blogger is telling me "the browser I am using is unsupported and may result in unexpected behavior".  So I have no idea how this post will turn out.

I have come to the conclusion that it is not so much my old computer or this one for that matter that is slow...it is the darn Internet connection.  I do not recommend DISH Internet to anyone.  For that matter I do not recommend DISH TV either.  Last night I was watching a game and surfing the web when the signal went out and it wasn't even raining that hard...glad it was after the Spurs game!

I went to feed the dogs this morning and noticed that the weeds around Pedrito's tree were getting big...so I grabbed my Hulla Hoe and went to work.  That inspired me to try to clear up more weeds. The weather was perfect, cloudy and breezy.  I even tackled the weeds and darn baby mesquite growing on the street side of the fence.

I felt a sense of accomplishment. However, I think I might have over done it...my back, arms, legs and hands are killing me. 

As I type this I am watching the 75th Texas Cavaliers River Parade taking place during the Fiesta celebrations in San Antonio, Texas.  It was in jeopardy of not taking place due to the rains. Hope to one day be able to take that and other Fiesta events in person.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

The playoffs began Saturday April 16th and I have been in hog heaven since. My prediction for this first round is a sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Kawhi Leonard was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.  A well deserved honor for this exemplary young player that has a very bright future with the Spurs.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Redemption!

Congratulations to my San Antonio Spurs for being crowned the 2014 NBA Champions and in the process obtaining their fifth NBA title.  I am so proud of them and all they have accomplished this year.

It takes a very strong mental and physical team to come back from the agony of defeat...shake themselves off and strive to become an even better team.  They managed it and in a very convincing manner.

Apart from their fan base no one gave them a chance to come back and win it all. The national media wrote them off.  Maybe this fueled the Spurs even more...all I know is that I am a die hard fan and will always be there cheering them on even in adversity.  To this day it still hurts to remember Game 6 and 7 of the 2013 Finals.

My congratulations also go out to Kwahi Leonard for being named the MVP of this year's finals. This 22-year-old young man is a star in the making and well deserved this honor.

Thank you my Spurs for all the great moments you have given us not just this year but throughout the years.

GO SPURS GO!!!
