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,

2021, the long hot summer of our discontent!

 Yes, it was one long HOT summer!  In addition to the record-breaking heat along the coastal ranges in Oregon, Washington, and into Canada, we saw temperatures in this Northern Idaho area I NEVER thought we would see again after moving away from the high desert of Southern California in 2006! The hottest temp was an afternoon high of 112 degrees (44.44 C) on June 30th. But, hot, hot days, too warm evenings, no rain so dusty and dry.  Record heat, the hottest weather ever recorded in Idaho, and, according to the stories, only the beginning of the heat that will probably be the "new normal" from this point on. Seems that the same "high-pressure bubble" that causes the cold and snow of winter weather to almost completely bypass our region of the pacific northwest in winter causes record heat in our same region of the pacific northwest in the summer! Since my last post, mainly, we have just been living and trying to avoid getting Covid. Stacy and I got our vaccinations...

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

Spring, and warmer weather is in the air!

  I had started this post on April 15th, now it's the 23rd so this is now history! Warmer temps, for a few days anyway. After the last few weeks of more like winter than spring temps, it is pushing 70-degrees (21.1 C) today! It's been clear, not windy like the last three days, and generally nice weather. We can only hope it will continue to be good weather with it not too dry for the late summer since it has been a dry winter and spring so far. The last time it was particularly dry it was a very bad summer for Hornets. Most places in the region have many of those yellow and greenish hanging hornet traps set all over the place. We do too!  Time to get the traps out, cleaned, and set out for the season. You have to get the traps baited and up soon as with the warm weather the hibernating queens come to and start looking for places to set up new nests. That one year though, hornets were everywhere! The forest was alive with the buzzing of thousands (millions?) of hornets. Dozens ...
