The E-bay clock is ticking.............

And counting down to a little over an hour from now when I hopefully will have won a new (used) radio for my Gold Wing! I found it over the weekend with a ending time today. So its only been a 5 day wait. If I can get it though, as long as it works, at least it isn't supposed to be fried! So any minor working problem could now, worst case, at least still be fixed for less than the price of a brand new unit at $1,100.00.
Everything else is going well. Stacy and I are both over our holiday colds. The weather has stayed comfortably warm for the most part, not hot here in Northern Idaho. The South end of the state like Boise or Pocatello, are dry and hot and we've seen stories of fire concerns of fires like in California.
We bought a DaeWoo brand A/C unit for my office since it didn't have one and being on the upper floor of a 1930's building, an south facing large window, it was getting TOASTY!
It worked quietly and well- until last Thursday. Then it would run for 3 to 5 minutes and beep flash and stop. Although sold in the area there are no service areas in any of the three adjoining states, unless I want to drive to Seattle anyway. So plan B. Got a new Haier unit, and the DaeWoo will go back to Costco and be exchanged for a larger unit for our bedroom. Gotta be able to change plans!
Well that's this update. Got to go back and check My E-bay!
Till next time, Tad.

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...

What's been going on since July 24th, the last posting

Stacy to California , On Saturday the 26th Stacy left to drive to Northern California to help out and be with daughter Sandy as the birthday approached for the new grand daughter to be born. As Sandy was going to have a C-section birth, so the actual date was pretty well planned, Sandy had called and was concerned that there was a possibility that new baby would be a bit earlier than anticipated. So with that call Stacy left two days earlier than planned to be there that much sooner and before the doctor's visit to find out one way or the other on the due date. So Stacy made the around 1,000 mile trip in two long days and was there by Sunday night. By the doctor check up on Tuesday morning, the concerns were lessened and the timetable was back on track for the birth on the first of August. Stacy had a great time with almost 2 year old grand daughter Justine, giving mom Sandy a much needed break before starting it all up again with the new baby. Friday August 1st, originally had...

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 ...
