Hey tour guide, I'm thirsty.  Is it ok if I cut into this Cactus for some water?


KW, no you can't cut a piece of cactus.  Get your water bottle if you are thirsty.

New Power cable for MacBook Air

It is Wednesday, so off to the Book Store.  Barnes and Noble of course.


Next stop Simply Mac to get a new power cable for the MacBook Air.


So tour guide do you need my help setting up the new cable?  No KW, it is just a simple swap out.  Ok, let me know if you need any help, after all I am a computer expert.  KW, I'll be sure to ask if I do need any help.




Ok, KW, I may need your help after all.  Could you please put your knife away.  Aw man, I wanted to cut a cable or two like you used to do at the Naval Academy.  That's ok, not needed here.


Ok, tour guide, I'm cutting it.  NO you are not cutting anything.


Hey tour guide, these don't seem to fit.  Well, look who just got here.


Hey KW, let me help, I know how they work together.  How would you know, tour guide knows Networks, I know computers, you are a programmer, you don't know nothing about "chinery".  That's right and I can make a flow chart to show how it works.


Ok KW, look at this.  If you can't understand it, I'll just draw you a picture.  Ok CJ, you better draw a picture, I don't think the tour guide understands this.

This should be easier to understand.

Hey CJ, nice job.


See KW, it plugs into this port.  All you had to do was look at my drawing.


Guess I didn't need my knife after all.


Sunset number 50 at the Glamper.

PS:

CJ asked me to explain a flowchart to you novices out there.  A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows.  This diagrammed representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem.  Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.

Hiking and Climbing

KW, what are you doing in the dark?  Getting ready to write today's blog.  Sit back and relax tour guide whilst I work my magic.  The blog will be all about hiking and climbing, hence the name.


Here we go hiking, here we go.









Mrs. tour guide climbing the rocks.










Cheessa neenjah mah wongee Chewbacca.  Kanjee teh droid.


Hey tour guide, whose this Chewbacca fellow?  I happen to be the Taz, and I will open up a can of Whoop.  KW, aw come on tour guide, I wasn't going to finish it.  Who is that big blob anyway?  KW, his name is jabba the Hutt.  He is a gangster on the desert planet Tatooine.




The T-Bone Trail




Mrs. tour guide on the T-Bone Trail.


Hey CJ, I can hear water running through here.  Ok KW, if you say so.


Hey tour guide, look over there, remember the Flintstones house the last time we were here?  Looks like they got cable tv.

Cheessa neenjah mah wongee Chewbacca.  Kanjee teh droid.  Translation - At last we have the mighty Chewbacca.

Weekend Update - KW Headline News style

2017/12/30 -

Most of the day Saturday was spent looking at lots and houses.  Hey tour guide are we moving to Utah? We are just looking KW, but you never know.  This is one we really like.  Now we will continue to look at more.  KW, what do you think of this one?


Hey tour guide, it's a real nice looking house, but look in the back on the hill.  What is that?  KW, it's a Southwestern Black-tailed Jackrabbit.  I don't think they eat Tasmanian Devils for lunch.  OH, very funny tour guide.


2017/12/31 - New Years Eve.

First we went to church.
Another Walmart run.
Then it was off to Harmons Grocers.
After lunch it was time to watch some shows on Netflix.
We did wake up at 11:54 to see the New Year come in.


2018/01/01 - Happy New Year to all.

KW, we are staying in today.  Ok, let me get my shower.  Hey tour guide, there's no water. Ok, let's check it out.  Well, you are correct KW, no water is coming out of the sink.  I just heard neighbors talking, there is a water main break.  It will take some time to fix it.


What are you doing tour guide?  I'm Just cutting onions.


Hey tour guide, the water is back on.

Black-tailed jackrabbit

The black-tailed jackrabbit, also known as the American desert hare, is a common hare of the western United States and Mexico, where it is found at elevations from sea level up tp 10,000 ft.  Reaching a length around 2 ft, and a weight from 3 to 6 lb, the black-tailed jackrabbit is the third largest North American hare.  Black-tailed jackrabbits occupy mixed shrub-grassland terrains.  Their breeding depends on the location; it typically peaks in spring, but may continue all year round in warm climates.  Young are born fully furred with eyes open; they are well camouflaged and are mobile within minutes of birth, thus females do not protect or even stay with the young except during nursing. The average litter size is around four, but may be as low as two and as high as seven in warm regions.
