Our Location today is La Posa South LTVA,
Quartzsite, Arizona, U.S.A.
Last night I barely got the
Blog posted before midnight and by
doing so forgot to add the Links to Tom and Deb’s blog Celebratingthe Dance which is something I always do when mentioning anyone from Blogland. It wasn’t until the middle of
the night when it came to mind but as soon as we were on our Computers this morning I immediately
corrected that. Sorry Folks and Safe Travels we’re hoping to see you
again for another wonderful visit before we leave.

| This morning's Sunrise. The clouds stayed all day. |
Even with less blankets on
it seemed we couldn’t get comfortable last night. Either we were too hot or on
the verge of freezing. Getting out of bed there was no welcoming glow seeping
in around the Window Shades as the
clouds were so thick the Sun struggled
to be seen. The good thing was that the Solar
Panels were still charging our Batteries
so well that by 8:30 we were able to turn on the Main Inverter and start charging anything else that had a battery
to charge.
It was also around the same
time that our Windsock went from
hanging limply to holding steady at the end of the pole with winds gusting above
Twenty MPH. Looking outside as the ATVs and Side-by-Sides went driving by there was plenty of dust in the air enough
to keep Kathy a prisoner inside the trailer for most of the day.
Once our morning reading
and chores were finished Kathy busied herself double checking our Bank Statements making certain that
nobody else is using them.
When we first headed south
last November we had an issue with our Rand
McNally GPS before we reached Nashville. It needed updating which we had ran
out of time to do before leaving McGregor and our Unlimited Data Plan. The only option we could see was buying
another GPS as a backup system. When
the first two Garmin GPSs that we
chose would not work, we ended up with another Rand McNally GPS that worked fine while we were in the Nashville area.
We were in the middle of the Dallas/Fort Worth highway
traffic when it decided to stop guiding us through that maze so we made it out
by using the old Highway Signs. We
made it to a Walmart
for the night where Kathy struggled to enter locations before our original RV GPS started working again the way it
was supposed to.
Since we have a different MiFi plan with Verizon that gives us more data
then we are presently using I thought I’d upgrade at least one GPS in an attempt to make it easier to
use. Since we had paid for Lifetime
Updates on our RV GPS once it
was connected to the Computer it
took nearly an hour with Forty-Six Updates
and it looked like we hadn’t moved the data counter. Shutting down the MiFi and restarting it the Data Usage was the same as before.
Going for broke I connected the newer Trucker’s
GPS that comes with Lifetime Updates.
It took longer to get connected because it needed to be Registered before it could be updated. When it got started it took
about forty minutes for a total of One
Hundred and Forty-Nine Updates.
Having updated both those GPSs there was less than A Quarter Gig of Data Usage. This is a contracted MiFi that really uses little data. When we first entered Michigan
on November 3rd the Verizon outlet only had the Pre-paid system for sale. With that
system, we constantly fought to get Online
with it, and it used Data like there
was no tomorrow. It’s bad when you can say you are saving money by being on a
contract.

| Another Wrap with Clementine Oranges and Oreo Cookies |
With the dust still heavy
in the air this afternoon Kathy busied herself Reading while I was solving my Cryptograms.
Kathy made Spaghetti and Meatballs for supper and the Wind finally died down just before the Sun set over the mountain tops.

There are things we want to
accomplish before we leave for Tucson but the High Wind looks like they might be back tomorrow. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

The World's Great Proverbs
Rome was not built in a day.
I have to add to your proverb today which says "Rome was not built in a day" and I always add "but I was not the foreman". Be safe.
ReplyDeleteWe like parking in La Posa South and are looking forward to it, when we head back this way. The one bad thing is it can get dusty though at times.
ReplyDeleteYes the dust would certainly keep Sherri inside. We are not to happy with the wind but when we are in Colorado for the summer we have to put up with a lot of it. The winter on the coast is just about the same so we have learned to deal with it. Stay safe.
