WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2021
Hood River resident, Chris Kastner, had a serious stroke while kiting here on December 2. Following a craniotomy at Hospital H, he’s been in an induced coma in the ICU. He needs to get back to Oregon via med evac. A GoFundMe has been created for Chris to assist his family in the cost—$37,000–of the trip. PLEASE consider a donation to Chris. Let’s show Chris, his wife, and daughter the best of how our community comes together to help those in need. Just click on the link below. And thank you.
(OK team, as I see it, the BajaPonyExpress goes out to 4,542 email addresses. Some are couples with separate emails, etc., but……I’m thinking with just a simple $5 donation, we as a herd should be able to raise over $15,000 for Chris and put him over his goal. So lets all do it TODAY! BPE Cheryl)

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS
- I’m currently setting up a new computer and encountered some unique issues. I began a search for Chrome Browser and Firefox Browser using the Windows 10 embedded browser. It would NOT let me download and install. Microsoft trapped me in their “Microsoft Store” and wouldn’t let me out. Microsoft calls it “S mode”. I could only download apps & programs from the Store. Here is a quick YouTube to cure the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX-LwZZVQT4 thecomputerguy@usa.com
