Megawatt Article Update

About 12 hours of fumbling not only did I create an article that pleases me but came up with circuit board removal and replacement tips that my 11-year old granddaughter could do with her eyes shut. I timed a a complete strip down: three minutes and about thirty some-odd seconds.

But I have some issues nothing to do with the strip down.

The big headache is I do not have any other writing program on the laptop other than Microsoft Word. So major big-league conflict with cut n paste text to rv.net. the images can be loaded to Photobucket no sweat. But the text is thwarting me.

When it rains it floods dept...

Oooo I felt so good I decided to get a haircut. Regular barber shop closed got recommended to an alternate.

Pulled up. Got out. Walked toward screen door "Peluquria" Barber Shop. Without a sound a massive black & white "peet bool" came at me from the side. It had a chain but it wasn't long enough. Ripped my right trouser leg to shreds and pinches where it's teeth grazed my calf. I fell outside the range of the chain. The lady barber hekped me up. I got my usual #2 military cut looking better. Reached for my wallet and it was gone. Rear pocket flapping in the breeze. VISA Cards, Driver license MediCare cards and $4800 pesos adios. Nearest ATM is 155 mile trip and without cards hee hee.

700 miles deep in Mexico and the pot has a hole in it and the window doesn't open :). Kids casa and Quicksilver are 2,800 long miles away in Michoacan. I am holed-up in Baja California because of an 11 Nov medical appointment in San Diego 700 miles to the north.

Please forgive my smiles at reading about the diasters, trials and tribulations on the forum. What embarrasses me is the fact I have a wilonderful article to post and no way to do it. I do have eqvt of 74 US cents to my name. Wotta freakin' Hoot!
  • Google doc's. Move the file to that free app or online then copy and paste away
  • Might get internet back next week sometime. Niner, the Galaxy is keeping me connected. Good images for the article. But I may have to wait to upgrade to 56K dial up speed which will be in November.
  • Generally, when I email it to myself, in gmail, the format is then good to copy and paste here.
  • Notepad and Wordpad are usually in the "Accessories" Program folder on a Windows computer.
