It was bad enough this morning that when we got up the first thing I did was to turn on our Blue Flame Heater to take the Chill out of the air.

After reading as many of the Blogs that we follow as our old Back-up Computer would allow it was time to bundle up and do some Outside Chores such as changing an Empty Propane Tank, dumping our Waste Tanks and transferring the last of the Diesel Fuel from our Auxiliary Tank to the Main Fuel Tank. The reason for the Fuel Transfer is so we’ll have a Fresh Fill-up before heading south.

Kathy heated up some All-Beef Tourtiere’s for our lunch. She found this brand earlier this summer that was so close to what her Grandmother used to make that she has bought them a few times now.

After lunch we got the call from SX Video saying that my Computer was ready for pickup and it was working just fine. Since we had a celebration to attend later, we only headed out the door around 4:00. Our neighbours Kevin and Lorrie were outside having a Campfire but said they were heading in soon because it was too cold. The temperature gauge in the Car showed it was 46 F (8 C) but the West Wind made it feel colder.

We brought Kathy’s Computer along with us to SX Video in Essex. With it having a AMD Processor rather then an Intel there are certain programs that I have not been able to add Shortcuts for Kathy. When we explained that to David it took him mere seconds to have them installed using exactly the same technique that had failed for me. The cost of the new Hard Drive, nearly as much as the Computer when I bought it but no charge for Kathy’s quick fix.

Since it was only 4:30 we went to McDonalds to have a Coffee. It helped us to warm up and gave us time to talk about different things while we did some People Watching. It would be around 5:30 that we would leave to go to our daughter-in-law Jen’s house.

We were there to celebrate our grandson Connor’s 13^th Birthday. Soon grandparents Jack and Sue along with Aunt Melissa and Uncle Dean arrived with cousins Austin and Aubree in tow. Good friend Brian and his children arrived to help the celebration get underway. There was Pizza along with a Cupcake Cake that helped to thank everyone for coming out. Connor loved his gifts and playing games with his friends. It was nearly 8:30 when we got our Hugs before saying Good Night.

It was Lightly Raining by the time we got Home but when we walked in it felt like an Icebox. We don’t leave our Blue Flame Heater on when we go out so the first thing I did was to turn it back on before setting up our Computers. Kathy was very happy with her’s but when I turned mine on it needed some work. Even though David had transferred all my information from the old Hard-Drive to the new one, I had to reset all my Icons where I wanted them not piled in one corner. I also needed to replace my Desert Wallpaper Landscape that got wiped out. Since my Microsoft Office and Norton Anti-Virus were licensed to the old Hard-Drive they were replaced with Free Versions that will take some getting used to.

Tonight the temp will feel like the Freezing Mark so we’ll try our best to keep toasty. Tomorrow we have another Celebration to attend. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
