I can’t upload photos tonight because my laptop died. I think it’s due to malware, but I’m not sure. My antivirus program won’t run and my download folder is empty — and I’m unable to download the antivirus program.
Also, the computer was very hot when I picked it up and something was running on it. There were transparent bubbles and vertical dashes flashing on the screen. And I’ve been seeing a translucent download arrow appear whenever I connected to the computer the last few days.
So I’m typing on my phone, and it is slow going.
We’re at Eagles Roost in Lake Park, Georgia for a few days. Then we plan to camp our way north for a couple of weeks on our way home.
It’s been the best winter of my life, except for the stress of rehoming Sheba.
Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, this is our plan for future winters.
Thanks so much for following along with us. 🙂

This computer has had problems from day 1. So instead of having it fixed again, I’ll probably just replace it.

/ March 7, 2015I have had such a wonderful winter following your adventure. Hope you can do this again next winter.
What kind of a laptop do you have? I would tell you to download Malwarebytes but it may not work. When I bought this laptop I only went with free Avast antivirus, Norton is a rip off and they get more expensive every year. I had to contact the Attorney Generals office to get my money back twice even after I told them they should NOT re new that last time was $85. and I kept getting viruses. I also quit buying HP
Have a safe and enjoyable trip home.

/ March 7, 2015Jo, I am so glad you continue following. I feel like I know you personally, although we have never met.
I love Malwarebytes. I have the pro version, so I am very surprised that something got through. I canceled Norton after it let something through that wiped my computer out last year, then installed Malwarebytes. It removed the virus, but could not retore the files that the virus deleted. So I had to have Windows reinstalled. They could only restore Windows, but could not restore the Restore drive that the virus had also taken out.
I’m still not sure whether I have a virus now or if the whole system just went wonky.
Anyway I have an Asus Transformer, but will not be buying another one like it.

/ March 9, 2015The same thing happened to my HP touch screen computer. Norton failed to protect and wiped out the windows internet all it’s good for now is playing spider and free cell. I love my Toshiba but some have had problems with theirs. I guess it is just about getting lucky and finding the right box on the shelf. Never heard the name brand you have.
Yes I feel as though I know you too.

I’m wondering if the Like buttons are like the dummy thermostats that some offices use, where if you are not happy with the temperature you can turn the thermost up or dow, but nothing actually changes!

/ March 10, 2015Sharon. It has been fun following you through Florida. It takes an intrepid couple to spend months confined to less than 100 SF. This takes Tiny House living to a new level. We plan on the same thing in reverse come Summer. The heat and humidity of NW Florida are too much for us these days so it’s off to the Blue Ridge Parkway for some cool mountains in July and August. We’ll have a chance to explore dry camping, use our new Solar system, and be refreshed in some of God’s most extravagant creation.
Be ye blessed.

Ron and I have been so happy on this trip that we haven’t had time to get on each others’ nerves. 🙂
We need more solar than we have. Please let me know how yours’ works out. I could probably modify the Casita to accommodate two batteries, if needed.
