Things are looking up

The carpenter finally stopped by this afternoon. He's been swamped with work so it has taken a while.  This one has an excellent reputation.  He's also a customer of mine and the gentleman I bought Charlotte from.  He'll stop by early next week with one of his guys who will get the easy stuff done.

Chip ordered the part for Charlotte.  He also ordered one for his own truck.  We both know if the part is made in China it will be crap.  He's tried 3 Chinese ones in the past with poor results, but holding and guiding my window up is better that having it fall down into the door

My silicone for fixing the tank was dried up and when I opened a new tube yesterday it was dried up, too   I figured I'd have no luck finding GE 1 silicone at the local hardware store.  They didn't have it last time I asked.  Well, this time they had all the GE silicones   I wonder if they switched to the GE because of me?  That would be just like a local business...

New Faithful is still a thorn in my side.  My sweet guy still has not called.  I texted him this morning  asking that he please not forget me, then again this afternoon saying that I was at my wit's end.  Still no word...She got so bad that I've finally unplugged her and am using the laptop that I despise.

My sweet computer guy called!!!!!!!!  I was more excited than a teenager who had a guy she was sweet on had called.  He's been swamped at work.  And has a flight tomorrow at 2 am to NYC with his company.  Not bad for a young rural Mississippi boy who but himself through college.  His buddies gave him a bachelor party yesterday.

First thing and next to last thing he said was that he was sorry he couldn't fix New Faithful himself.  But he told me all these things to do to fix it myself.  I can't try it tonight, I have water change yet and I've had too much beer.  I'll have lots of time tomorrow.

He told me to try 2 things.  If one didn't work the other one should. If neither works he said to call him and he can give me the contact info for a good smart guy who will fix New Faithful's problem.  I'm so happy. 

Dennis, ever heard of comboxfx?  He says I need to click the link to bleepingcomputer  that the other places to click might be viruses.  He said to reboot in safe mode first and try to install Malawarebytes again, that it may be able to do it.  The bomboxfx and bleepingcomputer is for if that doesn't work.  I love my guy.  He is so kind.

Nope, that's a new one to me.  I've always used AVG and then Malawarebytes to finish cleaning up.

I don't use anything here at home on these Linux boxes.

That's the one, Mug.  He says I need to enter safe mode with internet and go to comfortbox first and download it from there.  comfortbox gives several choices and some of them give you a virus!  He says that comfortbox is an excellent tool that computer fix it people use, but that a newbie can get in trouble if she clicks on the wrong place do download it.  The smart people know what link to click on.  People like me don't have a clue.

I'll dry installing Malwarebytes is safe mode first.  He said that it might or might not work.  If it doesn't I'll try the comfort box and bleeping computer.  I'd love to be able to fix this myself with a wonderful helper who gives great instructions.  If it doesn't work he told me to call him and he't give me the name of someone trustworthy who will do it for me. 

I love my computer guy.  He's fond of me, too.  He'd have blown me off otherwise.
