another Nexus 7 update

Good morning.
 I finally received my order from Amazon. I received a new cover that makes my Nexus 7 even more portable when I don't need the extra keyboard.

And it also has a built in 2 angle stand for hands free viewing.

I received and used 1 of a 3 pack of screen protectors that fit the screen perfectly. And it doesn't appear to affect the touch capabilities of the screen so far.   :-)
And finally, I got the usb adapter for the keyboard.
It worked just as advertised. I just plugged it in to the port on the Nexus 7 and into the usb cord of the keyboard, and it worked automatically. No need for me to change any settings.

The keys on the keyboard are a bit small, but still much larger than on the Nexus screen, and of course, it lets me use the entire screen when typing.

The staff seems happy with the new wall color in the Salon, and surprisingly, not one customer has commented about it. I guess it doesn't scream out at you so it's not overly apparent that it's different. That's good, right?
But I like the change, and all that matters is me, right?   :-)
Now time to get ready for work. The phone's been ringing, so it's gotten pretty busy.

another average weekend

Good morning.
The big winter storm that rolled through the middle of the country has just brushed us. We've been just above freezing for the last couple of days, so yesterday was mainly rain, which switched to snow yesterday evening. This morning, I had about 3 inches of wet heavy snow to clear from the driveway.  They say we might get another inch or so today before it continues east.
I got the cleaning bug yesterday and worked my way through the house.
I also booked another weekend camping trip for mid August.
It looks like it'll be another average week in the Salon.
And nothing much more to say as it's been another average weekend with nothing special going on.
Now back to work.

Blue Eyes

Good morning.
I've just returned from cleaning the Salon.
I know, it's Monday not Sunday. Let me explain.
I cleaned early this morning because I spent 3 hrs early yesterday morning painting the Salon.
Here are some pics....

The blue on the right is the wall reflected in the mirrors.

So now we have one wall called Guacamole on one side of the Salon, and the wall on the other side of the Salon that I just painted is called Blue Eyes.

It's a bit brighter than I expected, but we'll get use to it. It's still much better than that orangy/peachy color.   :-)
Your probably wondering why I didn't paint all the walls the same color.
Because that would be b-o-r-i-n-g.  :-)
And sorry I haven't done an update on my Nexus 7 keyboard. The connector isn't scheduled to be delivered until this coming Thursday.  But I am lovin that little tablet! I take it with me to work every day. It's very handy if I want to look up something online, or play a game in between customers.
I'm also going back into the Salon this morning. I got a desperate call yesterday. A customer who goes to college in Grand Rapids is having a professional photo shoot done. It was scheduled for next week, and the photographer doing it moved it to this Wednesday. Since I don't work until Wednesday, she wouldn't be able to have her roots touched up. So I agreed to meet her at the Salon this morning. It'll only be an hour out of my day, and I didn't really have anything else I needed to do.   :-)
And with that, time to get going.

time for a little change

Good morning.
It's been a steady week in the Salon. Not real busy, but not to slow either.  :-)
I've decided to freshen up the Salon a bit. 5 years ago, I painted one wall Guacamole,

and the opposite wall this shade of orange/peach? I don't even remember the name of the color. I've never really liked it since I did it, but was too lazy to change it. Well now, I'll so sick of it and I'm now ready to do something about it.

After many different color chips and a thorough input form the staff, we've decide to go with Windsong.

It's the color right smack in the center. We wanted something that would complement the purple grid on the ceiling and the opposite green wall. I think it'll look good. This will give me something to do for the next couple of weekends since besides this wall, there's a wall in the supply room and break room. I'll take pics when I finish.
And thew big snow storm that's been in the news is hitting us this morning. It looks like the brunt of it will stay south of us, but we're expected to get about 3 inches.
Now time for work...
Have a great weekend!

weekend update

Good afternoon.
Sorry for the lack of posts, but it's been a pretty uneventful weekend. And that's not all bad.   :-)
Update on my Nexus tablet....
The connector I needed to join the keyboard with the tablet was no where to be found at the local electronic stores, so on-line I went, back to Amazon.co. It should be here by the weekend.

This is the little guy I need.The keyboard has a male USB connector, and the tablet uses a mini USB connector. Amazon had one for $5.95. While I was there, I also picked up a package of Screen protectors.

These are made just for my Nexus, so no cutting to fit. Nice.
Then we stopped at Sam's Club to get my Minoxidil. I swear it's the only thing keeping what's left of the little hair I have.

Of course, they were out, so we hit Walmart to find they sell a 3 pack for the same price as Sam's Club 6 pack. So back home, on-line I go again, and order it from there.
And stores wonder why we shop on-line so much.

Also on-line, I ordered more checks from,  Walmart checks.

I seldom shop at Walmart, I prefer Meijer's 100-1, but there's a couple of things Meijer just can't beat. Meijer wants $35 for a 3 pack of Minoxidil, and Sam's sells the 6 pack for $17.98. That's a clear no-brainer for me!
And Craig got fed up with our credit union's check prices and found he could get them through Walmart.com for 1/4 the cost.
I also placed an on-line order for Salon supplies.
So a good part of the weekend was spent on the puter.  :-)
I did check the water levels in the mo-ho house batteries, and was happy to see no more rodent signs in the mo-ho.
And that's about all I've got for now.
