Laptop cracked & lost cell phone.... Yikes.

The middle of Sept. (on the road) we discovered that our laptop computer had a cracked screen (or so we thought that was all) and.... we thought it was under warranty. So.... No computer, no email, no getting our own directions when we can't get ahold of anyone, and No blogging - bummer. We had to wait about two weeks to get home and try to correct the problem.

Little did we know that the warranty does not cover "physical damage". ~~~Word of warning... examine the warranty yourself instead of listening to the salesman. ~~~
Anyway... it turned out that not only was the screen cracked, but the hard drive was damaged. ("No operating system found".) Not good. So Fry's is trying to retrieve any data from the hard drive (for $70), then....... we purchased our new laptop computer from Best Buy, who were very nice, and pointed out IN WRITING that a cracked screen and other "physical damage" IS COVERED.

Just after we got back on the road... I had just woken up, and was going into a restroom in the middle of No Where, AZ and accidentally (absently-mindedly) had my cell phone in my hand. I put it on the toilet paper dispenser, and promptly forgot it. After we are already in the truck, out the parking lot and about to get onto the freeway, I "all-of-a-sudden" realized what I had done. It only took about 5 mins to get turned around..... but when we got back to the restroom.... (shocker) it was gone. So we cancelled that phone, (but I was able to keep my same number. Yea! But I had to go about a week before we could get to a place that we could get phones. WE have new phones now.... wow. Nice!

The really cool photos of the largest Cross, and Jesus' last days are on the hard drive that crashed, and that they are trying to retrieve data from.... boy I hope they get my pictures.

Since the end of September we have gone from Los Angeles (Mira Loma) to Everett, WA hauling frozen Hot Pockets, then did a trailer exchange in Grainger, WA (just south of Yakima). Then headed just south over the border to Stanfield, OR to pick up bags of netting and took them to New Castle, WY. While we were deadheading up to Colony, WY we had to cross over into a little bit of South Dakota.... Just Beautiful!!!





The Black Hills of Dakota, Near Savoy, SD.

At Colony, WY... we picked up Cat Litter and took it to Portland, OR. The next day we picked up Large Rolls of Paper and took them to Phoenix, AZ.... then deadheaded just south of there to Tempe and picked up 55-gallon drums of Coating for Foam Roofing and took them to Brawley, CA. (just north of El Centro). Then we deadheaded all the way up to Los Angeles to take a load of Hangers to Denver, CO...... and that is where we got "stuck". We have been in Denver since Thursday, and it is now Saturday, with no good prospects of moving until Monday. We need to get back to San Diego to pick up our "new" truck and then get a load that has been contracted for us.... another load of Hangers in Los Angeles going to Dallas, TX, this time.

So now we are just waiting in Colorful Colorado....
God is sooo Good. At each place His gives us parking places, and people to talk to, and Peace.
Amen.
