Still kick'n....grouchy as hell

In an attempt to upgrade to Windows 10....for bout the 14th time. I'm on the old laptop as I type.
Then on thee old laptop, I cain't access my mail. Something bout the password not be'n right. Damn!!!

Holy cows, it's been a while since I talk to you folks. But I ain't really had nuttin to talk bout that ain't already been said.

We had a couple 27 degs nights last week, but that didn't last too long. The two electric heaters kept me pretty cozy. Fired up the Mr Heater on low a couple times just to make sure I didn't freeze slap to death. Good move. The front curtain thingys work just fine to keep the heat inside.

I think I done tole you bout me cancell'n my last doctor appointment. I was pretty sick that day an' sides that, I don't like that doctor. But, I'm think'n I need to make another appointment. He may have the results on my visit to another doctor I went to see. Remember the endoscopy an' the colonoscopy? I know what the nice lady doc tell me but that's all I know. Somebody need to tell me something.

My last post bout work'n on the boat.....'member that....I was gonna paint the boat bright hot pink? Well today an' the last 3 days I been apply'n the final coat of polyurethane. The old Billy Bob is right on the edge of give slap up. The spray thingy Robert buy me was no good. Leaved some bubbles an' it spurted little globs....all of which had to be quickly removed. I upgraded to Helmsman spray spar urethane. No matter how careful I am, I still get me some dust particles. Ya cain't see 'em with the human eye float'n round in the room, but as soon as you apply some spray poly, them dust particles come out the woodwork an' land on the boat. Yes I have another sanding job in my future. But I'm git'n close to a perfect finish. 

The decals have been installed an' in my book, they look pretty dad gum good. I'm happy with that. But....when I spray over the decals with poly......up jumps the devil....dust.
I'm not able to upload any pics from the laptop. Won't recognize the card thingy. When I back on the other computer, I'll see what I can do. it's still updating to Windows 10. 

Hope to have better news in a few days. Damn dust!!!

  1. No sense in going to a doctor unless they give you reports from your tests. I believe that docs should give us all the info and let us decide if we need more help or not. Get feeling better Billybob, you hear?

    1. Well shoot Dizzy, if'n I was to live by your take on what doctors are for, I would be dead by now. I went to this doc 'cause I was sicker an' a dog, not to hear reports.
      LOL....how you 'spect me to get feel'n better without see'n a doc?

    2. Taggin along on Dizzy's, 'cause I still can't comment, but . . .
      Billy Bob - Hubby had the same problem with his Windows 10, and the Geek Squad fellas finally diagnosed that his spam/virus fighters were at war with each other. Apparently one comes in the 10 package, and if you have anything else already on the computer, the two of them go to battle and nothing gets accomplished. Try deactivating your old virus protection and see what happens ... Just saying.

  4. OK,now listen up sailor. When you put on a new coat of poly, you have to color sand it with like #1000 sand paper then buff it out. Like magic all those dust spots go away.
