Along Route 17 in Addison, Vermont looking towards the Adirondack Mountains. The weather is beautiful. Lots of folks out and about.
Enjoy your day no matter what the weather is like.
Once Again System Glitch

| New Haven River in June Lincoln, Vermont |
Beautiful day here in Vermont. There is a good breeze that made me add a layer when at the river.
At home…
Unfortunately, my HP AIO is experiencing technical difficulties. I was online while searching for something off line, maybe 5 minutes or so. The website I was logged into timed me out or else the computer shut down. None of the Hewlett Packard fixes work.
Electric is going to the system via the adapter indicated by that light being on. The keyboard, mouse and monitor are not receiving any electric connection.
HP’s solution if reset doesn't work, to call. Anyone who has had the experience of making a tech call, knows well what a nightmare that can be. Just the thought causes an anxiety surge.
My questions as simple as can be, result in searches with a bunch of stupid answers not addressing the keywords.
There is a lock slot in the back of the computer. I suspect that could be the issue. I was trying to connect my iphone to the computer by using that slot because it is the size of the iphone adapter piece.
It is too frustrating to bother hour after hour with stupid instructions. Thus, I will be turning in my smart television. Who knows? I might find a video that actually answers a question about my computer.
Have a wonderful weekend!
P. S.
My iphone 13 settings on Safari and Chrome don’t allow me to reply to comments. Sign in with Google keeps showing even though I am signed in.
Making a Small Dream Come True

| New Thrift Store Mug 2024 |
Concrete and a 4 inch by 4 inch post, spray paint, and clips. Simple things. I forgot to write down the aisles where the items are located. If you don't do that, then Home Depot can feel like walking through a magical forest of stuff. (I have to stay away from the power tools or else I might have a surge of compulsion to by one.)
I found the concrete first. There were two young men loading a big dolly. I could tell from their lifting, the bags are heavy. At the concrete I want to buy, I try to lift the edge. Aloud I hear myself say, "No." I could have lifted it. The issue is that it is dead very heavy weight I was not up to dealing with. I walked away.
Second, I find the 4" x 4" post. Lifting it out of the shelf area, I learn it is also very heavy. Not concrete weight, but bulking heavy as in there's a danger of hitting myself on the side of the head awkward. Once again, I heard myself say, "No."
Down the aisle, I see an 8 foot pine stud, thick enough to hold the bracket for a hanging plant. The clerk cut 2 feet off (for it to fit my vehicle).
I found the paint by accident.
I forgot the clips.
The alternative to setting the stud* into concrete is adding wood to the bottom, place inside a large planter (or waste basket), and fill the planter with a bag of stone. The stud is spray painted white to match the white brackets.
Why the bother? Well, for years every spring I dream of how I want my tiny deck to look. Every year, it doesn't happen for one reason or another. One summer of depression was so bad, I spent nearly all of it sitting on the sofa. This year's plan is very simple, and cheaply done with spray paint, plants, homemade wood patio table top, tarp sun shade, and a hanging plant pole.
I will post photos when it is all finished.
* None of the wood screws or nails I have (dozens) are long enough to go through 2 stud thicknesses. One side of the stud needs to be sanded. I ran out of white spray paint. Good part, the screw eye bokts fit.
