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 ...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Four photos from the California trip

Heading South on I-15 in Utah. I'd kind of missed these 100 mile views as I saw them again while driving through this and our old high desert areas of California. It was still cool here but I got to our old area as I went through San Bernardino at the height of a heatwave with temps in the 90's! All the traffic and congestion of being back in that area for the first time in over 3 years made me glad it was just a visit! I only wished I hadn't been on such a tight time schedule and had a day free to visit with people I hadn't seen in person in almost 5 years! I was so surprised to see Primm (or Stateline Nevada) so deserted! This photo of Whiskey Pete's all but empty, it used to never be this empty, any day of the week! The Hotel is closed except for weekends anymore, only open for gambling and the McDonald's inside was the only 'restaurant' open! I'd gone there first to get a room on the way down to San Diego. I Guess most people just drive the 40 ...
