I want to start with, THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH IS BACK. I am so upset. I was sure it was fixed.
Today has been a cooler buying day. Last night, my husband said he found two coolers for 30 dollars on Marketplace, and if it was not too far for me to drive, would I contact the person and go get them. This morning when I was looking for the coolers on Marketplace, I saw a big cooler for 75 dollars, I messaged the person and asked if they would take 65, they said they would, but they had to take their child to school and it will be after 11 before they get home and they will let me know when they are there so I can get it.
In the meantime, I messaged the person with the two coolers. I told them I had to be in the area after 11, but she said that was over an hour and a half, could I come now, and what would be my ETA? I told her first she had to give me her address, then I could tell her how long it would take me.
When I cleaned the shed, I found an old Garmin GPS. When I plugged it into my truck, it wanted me to do updates, but it wanted money to do them. I do not have the original copy for the receipt or even a copy of it, but it worked fine without the updates. It was the first time I used a GPS to drive, we have never had one in one of our vehicles. It kept wanting me to get out on US1, but I followed the map and knew another way that I only had to get on it for 1/2 mile.
When we got there, she said she wanted me to come now because it would save me a trip. I told her it made me make two trips instead of one. I do not know how her mind works???
I had my daughter go with me so she could help with my not being able to turn my head very far to the right. We were back home by 10. I waited and waited for the other person to tell me they were home. I texted them at 1:30 and asked if something came up or did they forget me. They forgot me and said now they had to go pick their child up from school and had one stop to make before coming home. Around 4:30, they said they were home, and by now so is my husband, so he drove me to get it.
I did not get a picture of it in my boat because it was dark by the time I got the ice out of the old coolers and got them out of the boat. I know I do not like it. We no longer have a place to step up front, we have to climb over this cooler. I know my sister will not like it. She has been sick for the last two days, but says she is feeling better. I told her that if she starts feeling bad, we will come in.
