You have the option of adding a keyboard and mouse. I am going to see how it goes without them for now. If and when I start using it at a desk I might get them. Nice to be able to sit on the couch and use it. I will see if I enjoy it while in the car today. You can use a Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard with your MacBook. It has the numerical keyboard on the side as well as Touch ID which is real nice to unlock your computer without putting in a password. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMMR3LL/A/magic-keyboard-with-touch-id-and-numeric-keypad-for-mac-models-with-apple-silicon-us-english-black-keys?afid=p238|soDtC4tah-dm_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_648918799898_pgrid_45850389289_pntwk_g_pchan__pexid__&cid=aos-us-kwgo-btb--slid---product-&fnode=fc74d500ab7898eeaf89d8eebea8dd01372d0129cab4df39be789dae3946edd6aa55515bfbccee981c466d4175872818a1a902ba429939d8c3058ec3b6b724c7145183b20cd31416972ab65ad93f4a672523a6090e389f4c7650c32caacc1cd5d28f3cca8c54d504dc66b656b8e0dd5b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I was sort of sad the whole road to it got paved because I used to feel like an in the know local going there on the sand road…. We’ve seen lovely boats go by…and DH especially likes watching the railroad bridge rotate out when a train comes by. I like it better when the road wasn't paved also. Definitely easier to get there now though. I also like the sign by the VFW post near there that says something like, "Caution, old farts crossing". 😁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it as bad as it was. Never again! We'll travel on the weekend from now on when we head North from Florida next time. It was a nightmare. We had this problem driving from Florida to Pinehurst. What should have been a little over 5 hours took more than 7. It took more than an hour to get through the Savannah area northbound, because the highway squeezes down to 2 lanes in South Carolina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah..don't get me started about SC with their 2 lanes, and never any road improvements in the 23 years we've been driving back and forth to Florida. This past December, we were at a standstill for well over 2 hours...once we finally began moving, there wasn't any evidence around to show why we had been stopped.😲 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The learning curve is very short and you will pick everything up very easy. I love the simplicity of it all. Thanks. I didn't even think of that yet. I remember when I first got the iPad it was a Challenge. I was wondering how learning Photoshop shortcuts will be. Not using it for the last couple years on my PC will make it not as confusing. I had the PC shortcuts down to where it was natural. Probably like your video editing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted April 5, 2023 #89936 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We have been busy making cookies with the grandkids this morning. They say you should dread all the chocolate chip dough on a cookie sheet Then bake it that way. Then when you cut out lighthouse shapes after baking, they look like lighthouses. 🤣 2 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats. I recall you saying you played semi/pro basketball, but you had no interest? I had no interest in trying out for the HS basketball team because the sport that I was best at was Handball.The Coach for the Basketball team was also the Coach for the Handball team.He refused to let me try out even though I had beaten both the Captain and Co-Captain in a park and they both urged the Coach to let me try out. I never received a definitive reason why he would not let me try out.It was his loss because in 1966 I placed 7th.in the United States Handball Association tournament . I began playing serious basketball two years after graduating HS . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't been on I-95 north of I-26 in more than 20 years. I was really surprised how bad some sections of that road were. Come on SC...do a little road maintenance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiszBug Posted April 5, 2023 #89945 Share Posted April 5, 2023 44 minutes ago, bobmacliberty said: The Masters is definitely in my future. Getting tickets is the hard part. You need to enter a lottery and get lucky, or buy scalped tickets. My parents used to live in Aiken, SC, just across the border from Augusta. They'd enter the lottery every year. I think they got practice round tickets a couple of times and tournament day tickets only once. It used to be that if you get caught using someone else's tickets, they'll kick you out and ban the person who you bought tickets from. Not sure if that's still true. Tom and his brother are leaving for the Masters, soon. His brother gets tickets every year. They are going to stop and play some golf in Savannah on the way there. I'm happy they are able to spend some guy time together doing something they love. Phoebe and I will try to stay out of trouble... 😇😄 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted April 5, 2023 #89947 Share Posted April 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Luckynana said: Thank you, Arzeena. We just left the dentist. All is good. We're so fortunate to have him..he and his office staff always squeeze us in when we need them. We got up at 5:30 this morning to get to his office on the Island on time☺️ Another silver lining by coming home...I'm able to jump-start the yardwork. Best of luck with your packing. We moved a lot of stuff to our new home, "just in case" and got rid of a lot of stuff. When do you officially move? So it looks like we'll have to wait until Bella2 before we physically get to meet. Congratulations once again on becoming Florida residents 🥰 Thank you. We plan to move completely by mid June or partially move earlier. All depends upon how fast we can box up.😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
