Miscellaneous Stuff

I plugged in my external drive and after about 1/2 hour it just started working and I was able to get some pictures I have been looking for back onto the computer so I can use them without searching through dvds. It worked for about 30 minutes so I was able to look at a bunch of stuff. Did more research online and no one has come up with a surefire way to get this drive to work with Vista, pretty hit and miss.

There are picture that will always be favorites of mine, not always sure why that is. But with this picture there are a couple of reasons. First the very obvious, it makes me laugh. Second it reminds me of a really great day trip we made to Key West when the kids and I lived in Orlando. It was Mum, Dad, Tammy, Chris, Andy and me. We caught a boat in Fort Myers and zoomed down for the day. What a great time we had.

This is Chris if anyone was wondering.



This is just so I remember the final stats of the Summer Olympics.
So many great moments during these games, really enjoyed
watching them.
