We both slept much better last night and even
managed to be up by 8:00 this morning. After a Lite Breakfast we took our
Coffees over to the Computers so we could see what is happening. With
the Humidex again forecasted to hit the Century Mark we made
indoor plans to fill our time.
It didn’t take long to finish getting caught up with
the other Ontario RVers
enjoying time with friends, walking down to the Maitland River or
taking care of clearing out STUFF. Then there were others just getting
caught up thinking because they were Home that they
didn’t have anything to write about, were they wrong. We opted to have a second
cup at the Computers but we took the time for it to cool while doing
some of our indoor chores.
Kathy thought we’d have our filling meal for lunch
so she put together the last of yesterday’s Greek Macaroni Salad, with Chicken
Tenders and Olive Slices for a side, then she topped it with a nice
bowl of Bing Cherries.
Looking outside the sky had filled with Storm
Clouds and the Weather Guessers were calling for quite a storm to
hit our area and looking at the Radar it looked like we might need wings
on the Trailer.
After lunch Kathy settled in at the table to sort receipts
before adding them to our Expenditure Spreadsheet.
As mentioned on the weekend I was unsuccessful at
updating our Rand
McNally GPS. After
connecting the GPS to the Rand McNally Site on the Computer
the next step was to call their Tech Support.
You can really get tired of listening to all those Advertisements that
replay on a loop while you’re waiting for assistance. It only took Fifteen
Minutes for the first person to answer but after hearing what the problem
was they said I needed to talk to someone in Programming. On hold for
another Twenty Minutes before Chad came on. I’d barely finished
explaining the problem when he had me going through their site and with the
push of an Icon the GPS was finally being updated.
That was only Forty-Five Minutes on the phone,
but now my Computer was busy getting all the Updates Downloaded for
the first GPS. Once that was finished it all had to be Transferred
it all to the GPS. Over Five Hundred Files and Two Hours
later we could get information that we had never seen before. Like the Floor
Plan for the Seattle Washington Space Needle and
to Cinderella’s
Castle at Disney World. Don’t know
if we’ll ever need it but I saw it loading. It was decided that I would wait
until I’m going to bed to do the other GPS.
It was past 6:30 when Kathy decided to cook up a
couple of Store-Bought All Beef Tourtieres. When Kathy saw how natural
these were made she thought we’d give them a try. They took longer to cook then
the box suggested but they tasted great even before we dressed them up, Kathy
with Ketchup and me with Hot Salsa.
We decided to see the movie “Bad Grandpa”
with Robert De Niro this evening. It was rated “R” due to Mature
Adult Matter and Course Language. It gave us a good laugh.
So far we’ve had no Rain and the Humidex
is supposed to be more comfortable tomorrow so we’ll see what we can do. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Words of Inspiration
A woman, especially, if she
has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.
Jane Austen, English Novelist
When I started traveling way back I bought a GPS and was given some very bad instructions on how to use it and got terribly lost on my first big trip. I finally went learned how to use it only to having stolen out of my truck in my own driveway. To make a long story short I have never been able to figure out the new one.
ReplyDeleteI haven't updated my GPS in the rig since I bought it. Luckily I haven't had a problem yet. Otherwise, I use my phone. It tells me exactly how to get places and is always up to date.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always used Garmin, but found that they. Exams less accurate over the years. I sent in a correction from a mile away from home 5 times and they never corrected it. I need to upgrade the one in my car—that should be fun. I have to wait until it’s cooler as I don’t want to subject my computer to the high heat. Rick, are you getting my comments? Still getting your posts with underlined words. Have to see if you have an email address. I hope I haven’t offended you in any way.
ReplyDeleteNancy there is no way you have ever offended me it is that I normally don't reply back in the Comment section but try to do so indirectly in the Blogs. Many Bloggers do that which adds to their Comment Count. I feel that is a lie that twice as many people are commenting. I prefer the actual count whether it is high or low.
DeleteKathy and our kids have checked our Blogs and there is no Underlining of any words. Could your computer be set to pick up Key Words? I know that when I post a Link the words change colour and are underlined (by Blogger) but I haven't done that in a while. I Bold words that I want to stand out. (Get my knuckles wrapped for that one in English Class.) I use Blue on writing to highlight Places or Roads and sometimes use other colours such as Red for Christmas or Danger.
What you can probably do to update your car's GPS is to save the Download to a Memory Stick, then simply connect it to your car while you run an errand.
Most GPS companies use use the Maps put out by Rand McNally and since they had a GPS for RVs it only made sense to get their product. We've had Garmin in the past and even though they have been in the Global Positioning Systems longer then anyone else (due to Ocean Going Vessels) we were having too many issues.
It takes years for them to make changes to their maps.
As for the E-mail you can contact us at rick.kathy.rousseau@gmail.com anytime but we only check it once a day
Hope you are staying Safe and Enjoying these hot days by keeping cool.
Rick and Kathy
It's about time.
