watched a video on how to install Chrome OS Flex [ which I did already ] and saw the warnings

be sure to test out the Flex first [ oops ]

too late. the changes of this Dell Studio are permanent ... something about reading the fine print

well. it works.  [ except for the VPN part ]

AND we have exactly what we need 

a) a typewriter   b) browser for the internet  c) best of all, a full keyboard [ for the old folks who still think in typewriter terms ]

a further bit of info. I Googled the ' chrome flex - VPN ' problem

a guy asked the same question and replies are blocked.

Yesterday s entry gto rather long ......
thus here is the finish for the rod / reel acquisition
realizing the cost after the discount of the discount at $ 10
leaving the rod in Fla was a reasonable option

HOWEVER, bringing the rod home was a challenge to be met. If you read an entry in late Jan, you would know that I amputated a butt portion [ approx 8 in ] and the lower section slipped into the luggaage.

The upper whippy part folded into the compartment. The rod came home.

Downstairs, in the hallowed workroom   [ hallowed b/c it is   re - organized constantly, mainly b/c very little work actually happens ]. I appended a short butt section and reattached the amputated section. Effectively, a 6 ft rod became a 6 1/2 footer.

The longer rod makes casting easier but you need to be a little stronger b/c the load increases on the butt [ longer lever ].Is that all you think about ? Fishing ??? M .. says before me, she never crossed a river and heard someone say      " I wonder what lives in there ? " [ apparently, this happens all the time ]

There is an organization called ' Repair Cafe ' . The premise is to repair and teach the repair [ if desired ] of items. I will volunteer in 2 weeks. I told M .. who promptly replied " What could you repair ? ? "

I am insulted to the core but worried that she is right !!!
