Finally got my computer back, The geeks said it had the nastiest virus they've seen yet- worse than the Black Hole virus. They had to wipe everything and re install the basic program and my files- which means that I have to reset everything from my color preferences to my favorites; I lost all those pages I'd bookmarked. At least I didn't lose my photos!
So to bring you up to date, Nitro had his first hoof trim a couple of days ago; I had a friend help hold him while I did his front feet
He wasn't too bad, but I've never done a colt before so I'll have to check and redo him in a few days. I did Beamer too, and Gussie is next on the list because the first week of August I'm hauling up to visit Janice and go for some trail rides with her; I might take Chickory along and pony her. Her feet are good- no sign of soreness at all- yay!
We had a heat wave here enough to get the farmers cutting hay; but the ground is still saturated and it's not drying well - at least, for the farms on the flats, like my hay guy. And then last Friday we got a crackin' thunderstorm that dumped 3 inches of rain in less than 5 hours..... on all the cut hay.... I may have to find another supplier.
Tess knows how to stay cool!
Well, I still have a lot of tweaking to do to get my computer back where I want it. I need an affordable photo editing software as I no longer have Microsoft picture manager, which is what I had BC (before the crash), so any suggestions would be welcome.

Yay :-) We missed you!
I really don't like it when computers don't do what we want them to do... and when we have to start from scratch. Ugh.
Welcome back.
I hope the hay isn't ruined. What a shame!
Do you know where you got the virus from? We lost a lot of stuff when our laptop died. Glad you're back.
No idea where the virus came from- my husband shares this computer and he was using it when it locked him out.
Glad your back.....
I am so afraid of getting a virus, can you tell me if you had any anti-virus software, and if so, which one?
Also, very glad you got back on, missed you...
We had McAffee. Had.
There you are finally....now I can get my fix.Nitro is sure changing,how interesting to see the progression.Looking forward to your visit.....yipeeeeeeeeee someone to ride with.I thought those guys would get the hay up before it rained....we will just get last years hay from them...it could be a tough year for hay that's for sure!!!!!!
Glad you finally got back up and running. Picasa is a free photo editing software that you can download and Pic Monkey is one you can use online that has really impressed me.
Welcome back!!
We use Avast! antivirus both at home and at work. Their free software is really good and the software you buy is even better. I had a computer killing virus when I used McAfee and the "propeller heads" suggested Avast! and we haven't had a lick of trouble since...
iam lucky to get high end security for my computer through frank's company. sophos.
I second Avast! - it's awesome. If you run it alongside Malwarebytes (also free), it's really rare to have a problem.
Free photo editing service - I don't know if this is more program than you need, but Gimp is a decent free program. It's not very user-friendly (kind ofa big learning curve) but there are TONS AND TONS of youtube videos out there to help you learn how to use it.
Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about your trail ride with Janice! Have fun!!
Yikes scary virus. I am always worried about that kind of stuff, but so far have been lucky.
Like Tess' bathtub, she sure looks like she is enjoying it.
