On the Road Again!

Well, that came as a surprise... I turned on the Dell Inspiron and it started to download the latest updates to the OS.   It was on the dining table and I let it run as this operation seems to kill the machine, making it impossible to do anything else.  Returning an hour or so later, after taking Reggie (the dog!) for a walk, and it was about 25% the way through installing Windows 10.   That was yesterday. I know I had requested this "free" upgrade some months ago, but I thought I had the ultimate control on when I wanted to run it.  I let it run as it seemed the lesser of two evils rather than cancel it. Sadly, my first inclination may have been the right one as over the next twelve hours it installed and welcomed me to Windows 10. I then logged in and after a few minutes the desktop disappeared and this was it.  Just the weather widget! No toolbar and no "start|" button. The only way I could get the desktop back was to restart t...

The next and who knows, last Devall Boys trip? https://devallboys.blogspot.com/

I've seen this guy on the tv and in newspapers. What a great story it makes and they obviously enjoy their lives together. If only Reggie didn't hate bikes! theoasisofmysoul

The final requirement to take a bit of the wind off my head and shoulders is a screen. I looked at the Triumph flyscreen, and although it looks good, it might not be what I need. Instead, I ordered one of these and it arrived recently.  I need to spend a few hours in the garage and get it fitted.

With quite a few blogs covering travels that Claire and I have done over the years it was getting too much to manage and so using the Blogger export and import tool, I have merged them here. Now almost only in one place. One blog won't export/import from its home location as apparently I have exceeded the number that can be imported.....  "Come back later" it says....

To cut down on the blogs I have merged  a few into one another. It makes management far simpler! Blogger allows and provides a tool to aid the export of a blog's contents, and then import those contents into a new or existing blog.  It also retains the publishing dates, photos, labels and the comments as they were and also sorts the posts into the right place in the new blog. All the travel oriented blogs are now in one place:   HERE Dora the Explorer has been imported here, into "On the Road Again" The Ashes Tour has been merged into The Devall Boys On Tour - both these are shared blogs with my brother Neill.
