Computer Down Time

Hi folks.

My Apple Laptop has been having some trouble with its data transfer, Superdrive and a few other areas.

Since my Apple Care Plan is still in force I decided it would be best to send it off to Apple. It’s all under warranty, which is a good thing. Moreover, since I just got my first backup drive I can now safely ship my system off without any worries should something unforeseen happen.

What this means is that beginning Tuesday Sept 4, Total Physique and Blues Travels will not be seeing any new posts for about a week to ten days, unless I can gain access to a public library computer room or something similar. However, since this all coincides with an impending move, it is highly unlikely that I will have much time for anything like that.

Just bare with us and be patient. I will be back before you know it. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the site.

Thanks

Tim

Blues Travels Travel Blog Update Progress

Well, I finally finished updating this travel blog to accommodate Wordpress. I have been putting it off due to the fact that I was going to use new image handler, but I think the results were well worth it.

I also enjoy this new theme. I had to really customize the heck out of it. It has taken almost a week to get it done. Plus, I added a new category for posts/entries with images in them. That should make it easier for peeps to find certain.

Settling Down?…Well…maybe

After the federal government finally made up its everloving, skeevy-hearted, greedy thieving mind, and sent me the forms I needed to pay the government what it takes at gun point, I came to the conclusion that it was time to make a change. Photos will come soon, to more or less give you a visual to my journey/experience. Suffice it to say that I moved into an apartment and moved my stuff out of storage. It was an endeavor not without its toil and trials, and equal parts of both. But thanks to my brother and some manpower help from a friend, we were able to successfully complete the task. Whew…..more to come…

Boo Is All Bettuh! Airbag Fault and Tweetuh Fixed!

Well, getting my BooBlue fixed was an ordeal. But in true excellent fashion, Terry VW came through once again! I am so lucky to have access to the tech team and Terry.

As many of you will recall, Boo (Blue) developed a glitch in his brain that conveyed some false data, stating that the airbags had deployed. More than being a nuisance, this is dangerous. For if I were to have an accident, the airbags might likely fail to deploy at all. So this was a must fix.

In addition, another problem crept up this week. While vacuuming out Blue a few days ago, I noticed the music that was piping through the front speakers of the front doors sounded strange and uneven; louder on one side than the other. Upon further inspection, it became clear that the left front tweeter was not working, which naturally resulted in the lack of frequency balance. In fact, the tweeter may never have been working at all, even from the day the car was built! I just never noticed it before, because I had nothing to compare the stock sound to.

Snow, My Tweeter Is Broke and Lynchburg Is The Same

Well, it is Wednesday. I am still here in Lynchburg as my parts (for Blue) did not arrive yet. It is OK though. It has been a nice time for reflection. I will meet Jay Roberts for breakfast today if all goes as planned. This is getting quite frustrating, but I am sure it will work out.

In the meantime, one more breakfast at Day Break. Yum!

By the way, one of Boo’s little tweeters is broken. Sheez! Thank goodness for warranties.

  • About Blues Travels

    This site celebrates my passion for driving, traveling and dining. This site also celebrates my enjoyment of a certain Volkswagen R32, Blue! Blue was simply the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel of a car. We traveled so far in so short a period of time, and although I only got to have him for a little over 2 years, it's a period in my life I will never forget!
