Yahoo! I have my desktop hooked up!

I finally broke down and hooked up my desktop. I was thinking that I would wait until I got into my RV but the laptop just wasn't cutting it.

I think the laptop is probably on it's last legs. It has been a great little laptop. I have gotten a lot of use out of it. I am thinking I will try to get a netbook or an ipad. It will probably be the netbook as I think those are cheaper.

Anyway, I am glad to get the desktop up and running. I can watch Hulu now! I don't have cable now but can watch pretty much what I want to see online. But my computer has to work better than the laptop. I am waiting tonight for the latest episode of Big Brother to be posted at CBS.com.

I am not a big TV watcher but I do like to watch a few things.

Just another day in BHC

I have finally gotten all of my stuff out of the loaner RV. It was tough going tho. I was trying to get it done before it got too hot and had to deal with sore knees and legs. I think it got up to 112 and I didn't even look at the gauge in the RV to see how hot it was in there. It wasn't that I had so much stuff in there but it just takes me a while with my bad knees going up and down the steps to the RV.

The soreness in my legs and knees came from yesterday's water aerobic class. We worked on our legs. I was finally able to track down a pair of water shoes. The water and heat are doing a number on my feet. The water shoes (jellies - purple!) should be a big help. I finally found a pair at a local grocery store. Walmart and Payless didn't have any. And the water aerobics class is 3 times a week through October.

I never thought I would see the day...

I never thought I would see the day where I would be wearing a tank top and shorts out in public. I have started doing that as a way to deal with the heat.

Lately, I have had to deal with the heat a lot. I am out of the borrowed RV since the air con died and am using a room at a friend's house. It shouldn't be too much longer before my "turtle shell" (that's what i am calling my RV now) is done.

The heat can be intense but there are ways to make it bearable. One thing you MUST do is stay hydrated. I carry a bottle of water with me where ever I go. I found a nice aluminum bottle at St Vinny's and keep filling it over and over.

I have been looking at the prices for window tint for most of the windows on the "turtle shell". And, I have found rolls of the silver insulation stuff for the front windshield.

I don't really mind the heat too much. It's a dry heat with very little humidity and frequently feels like it is cooler than it is. The wind blows almost constantly, too.

Anyway, I look like just another resident of BHC in my shorts and tank top.
