FEB 15, 19 .. FOUR MONTHS COMPLETED ON THIS TRIP AND MONTH FIVE IS HERE
No one cares about this Captain. You’re wasting your time. It’s all just past history. Go back to bed. You really do need the rest. Take the day off. Take the rest-of-your-life off as well. Further more Captain, and this is-for-sure, NO ONE cares one-whit about your computer challenges.

On October the 16th, 2018, I set out on this trip.
Today completes the first four months of the trip. Tomorrow commences the beginning of the 5th month.
About all that I can say is : Whodda Thunk!
Whodda Thunk : I was going to have the adventure that I had traveling in Russian Siberia for over three-some-months!
Whodda Thunk : That (Knock on wood Captain ) my stamina and my strength were going to hold up so remarkably well!
Whodda Thunk : That (At long last and this was an adventure unto-itself !! ) Patti would at long last join me and be by-my-side!
Mother Teresa of Calcutta said it : I’m but a pencil in the Hands-Of-God!
Get your popcorn and please stay tuned Sports Fans. Your cheers and kudos are wonderful.

No matter what happens..
And everything could explode-sky-high in the next minute..
Alas, No! No! They can’t take all the good that has already happened away from us..

Friday the 15th of February here in Seoul, South Korea.
It was a downright dark and heavy day. Snow. Rain. Dark Skies. We stayed-in most of the day. At last I had some time to just sit down and get back to publishing something on blogspot.
And THEN?
With absolutely no warning In terms of my laptop and Windows 10..
Things suddenly went-to-hell-in-a-hand-basket!!
I could NOT NOT NOT upload one single solitary photograph!
I began by routinely trying to publish a post on blogspot : I could NOT NOT NOT upload one single solitary photograph on blogspot!
I jumped over to dot.net : I could NOT NOT NOT upload one single solitary photograph on dot.net!
I jumped into Trip Advisor : I could NOT NOT NOT upload one single solitary photograph on Trip Advisor!
I’m now well into my eighth (8th) year of doing this. Oh Lord God trust me : In terms of photo-uploading / photo-posting I really do know how to do what I do here.
I mused : Last night everything was fine and perfect, no problems here with photo uploading whatsoever. What on this good earth has happened here??
What DIDN’T I do (Patti will bear witness to this ) : I did NOT panic. I did NOT get upset. I did NOT get angry. I truly did NOT get too disturbed. I calmly DID try all / and everything that I know how to try, in a vain effort to solve this mystery. To no avail.
So I went out into the cold / snowing / raining / invigorating afternoon for a nice walk. I bought a really great instant-noodle soup / meal. Had our cafe downstairs heat it in their microwave. Then Patti and I really enjoyed it in our room.
Terry and Kathy picked Patti and I up for dinner and an absolutely wonderful evening at their lovely flat watching Chaim / Haym Topol and ‘Fiddler On The Roof ‘.
THEN AFTER all was done (dinner / Fiddler On The Roof / our visiting ) I pulled out my laptop and tried to figure out (with Terry at my side ) what was going on with my laptop and Windows 10.
To NO avail.
Then I said to myself : “I wonder what would happen IF I upload photos onto my desktop. Then, from the platform of having photos on my desktop, I can try to upload them into dot.net / blogspot / Trip Advisor.
“We’re in the bottom of the ninth inning Sports Fans. Two outs and your Captain is still in the batters box. Here comes the ball for a third strike. It’s a slider high and hard inside the plate and impossible to hit. WHOA! Your Captain has just hit a Grand Slam Home Run right out of the ballpark.”
This ‘work around’ was-the-ticket.
On the way home to our hotel I said to Patti and to Terry who was driving : “Last night I uploaded a Windows 10 update. These Windows updates are mandatory. As far as I’m concerned you have no choice in the matter. Maybe that Windows 10 update affected my photo uploading procedure.
Into our hotel room Patti and I came. On line I jumped. Onto my desktop I uploaded 31 photos and look-see:

Whodda Thunk : That perhaps uploading the Windows 10 update affected my photo uploading procedure.
Go (along with a string of expletives!! ) Figure.
It may just be another work-around but I also successfully uploaded the below two photos of a dam in Russian Siberia that I visited and just added to a Trip Advisor post as well. It worked!
“I’m not talking while the flavor lasts!”

We’ve got a really busy tomorrow Saturday the 16th coming up. I really need to sleep.
Don’t you get this Captain? No one reads this and no one really cares about this Captain. You’re wasting your time. It’s all just past history. Go to bed. You really do need the rest. Take tomorrow off. Take the rest-of-your-life off as well. Furthermore Captain, and this is-for-sure, NO ONE cares one-whit about your computer challenges.

You’re awesome with the written word, Cap! It’s always a fun read. Smiles.
Thanks so much W2! Sign me Ol’ C2!
If you are able, can you text me.
Danny I am NOT NOT NOT able to (1) text you nor (2) am I able to make any phone calls because I do NOT have a cell phone with a SIM card for Korea. I’ll try to call you (via a friend here in Seoul) but I don’t know when I’ll see him. Cap
