Hopefully you can find a new (or at least new-to-you) dependable means of transpo. Not nice to contemplate what could happen in the winter if you got stranded on the road somewhere.

Ain't it true of a lot of life!? <br />A 'possible' solution to the computer problem...a netbook is less than $200 and if you use thumb drives, could tide you over for a while.<br />Or, an Acer which is around $200 and is a mini-laptop; it's what Dave and I used when we traveled and I still use. It's probably 10 years old and still going strong.<br />If you keep the vehicle thru the winter, it'll require thoughtful planning around storms. <br />Be safe!Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-42220860368577274992015-09-20T14:38:11.849-04:002015-09-20T14:38:11.849-04:00I hope you have a relaxing and pleasant afternoon....I hope you have a relaxing and pleasant afternoon.<br /><br />My old chipped paint take with me camera fell from the table the other day.
