With the sound of Rain tapping on our roof I kept telling myself that 6:00 was too
early to get up. Each time I rolled over and blinked my eyes it seemed the Clock would move by a Half Hour. I was up opening the Window Shades before 8:00 even though
the AC was busy trying to keep us
cool. By 8:15 Kathy was coming downstairs to join me for breakfast. It seemed
that the Rain stopped but the Heavy Clouds and distant Thunder just hung around acting as a deterrent
for the Golfers.
With nothing really planned and with the weather
we did inside chores. Kathy hadn’t read our Blog before going to bed last night as she was more tired than I was.
When she asked me this morning what model our new Car was and I responded an Escape,
she then asked why I called it an Edge
in last night’s Blog. I was more
tired than I thought. After a little Blog
editing nobody can say we stole their Car.
After taking care of other physical jobs I started
doing some On-Line research. Last
fall and winter we ordered on Two separate occasions a Backup Camera System from Amazon. The first one was bounced back and
forth across the
US by UPS. We extended our stay
waiting for that package another week before UPS claimed they had lost our merchandise. It arrived a week later
and UPS wanted
us to drive to Phoenix
to pick it up. Not! The second one was
shipped by USPS
but the Post
Office kept returning it to the Vendor. Amazon cancelled that order after
Two Months. But we still received
notice that it was delivered in Arizona the day after Easter when we were already staying at our Daughter’s house in Tecumseh.
By trying to find a Backup Camera System on Amazon.ca turned
in to a real challenge. I thought that by saying things like RV, Truck, Semi or Wireless would help to find them
quicker. It caused a lot of Zero Results
Found instead. After finding a number of likely options I’ve learned to put
them into My Wish List so they are easier to locate. Then after reviewing those
options the order was placed and it should be here by Friday the 13th. That sounds good doesn’t it? What could
go wrong? I should have it installed before having my Cataract Surgeries in August.
By 5:30 we were out the door for our weekly
visit with our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa. Normally we do this on Wednesdays
but due the death of a friend we rescheduled. We always have a lot to talk
about and have plenty to laugh about. We had the chance to see Kevin’s new Ram 1500 they got to tow their Travel Trailer with and Melissa got to
see our Escape for the first time. By
that time the sky was filling with Clouds
and the sound of distant Thunder
could be heard so we headed for Home.
We didn’t make it far before the Rain started hitting the Car with the intensity of a Car Wash. After sitting for Ten Minutes and waiting we finally made
a run for it to get inside getting wet in the process. The Rain stopped Five Minutes later.
We’re setting the Alarm tonight because tomorrow is going to be a busy one. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

We picked up a backup camera for our truck camper at the show in Quartzsite. Tadi Brothers has a booth there and we figured if we had a problem we would see them the next year.
ReplyDeleteBest invention ever. LOVE my system, but it came with the rig. SO much easier to park. I too have the same USPS and UPS problems with Amazon. Almost enough to make me quit Amazon altogether.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well with this delivery, I remember all the problems you had last winter. I have never had a delivery problem as a matter of fact I ordered something last week and delivery was due July 3 when my daughter checked my mail Sunday the box was in.
ReplyDeleteJust bought a new back up camera and gps in May for our truck. Going to be a lot of good buys in the November yard sale.
