A relaxing day

And well, it kinda has to be a relaxing day because its been snowing since yesterday afternoon and so far it's about 4 inches. So no rush to get out in the mess. The highways are usuallykept clear, the county roads it can take a day or so to get those all plowed.
Stacy just left for her shift at dispatch. She's still on cloud nine over the new position, I am also for her to have regular hours again!
After working with those friendly folks from India for Belkin last night it turns out that the wired connection problem with our other computers is with the router. They say we need a new router and last night were all ready to send out a new one and then we'd send back the old one. But they called back this morning and said they don't have our model in stock so we'd need to send in ours to get fixed and sent back to us.
When I asked how long we're talking about, he couldn't say with the holidays and such coming up, one week to a month, so I guess we'll get a new router at Wal-Mart and fight it out with Belkin to cover it that way.
We spent the morning/early afternoon watching Christmas movies. Stacy loves Christmas time more than any other holiday season.

Let's see, oh yes. I'll tell about recent movies we've seen. Thumbs up or down. We have Netflix, thanks Sandy for starting us on that last year, and we're at the see one send it back and get another plan which works well for us.

Recent movies-
Transformers. Well I wanted to see that. Glad I didn't buy it first! I was disappointed. Yes great effects, but waaaaaaay to long. And to dis-jointed in the storyline. Maybe if I'd been a kid in the first era of the Transformers I'd have liked it better. Rent it, don't but it first!

The Ultimate Gift. This movie was a gamble, I'd heard about it and read about it on the Netflixs site. Turned out to be a very good movie. Yes predictable, it's GOT to have the happy ending, but getting there was a little different with some unexpected twists. We recommend seeing it!

Next movie up, Reign Over Me.

Hope all is well for everybody! Tad

You two seem to have a lot on your plate these days, but at least you are happy. I will not let Russell know that you disliked Transformers, you will be on your hit list dad :). Love you guys, and miss you. Tyler is getting better, and I am not coughing as hard. Russell sounds like he is feeling better today, but we will see. Truely miss you,

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
