Well it seems that Peggy's computer is the only one sensored. Evidently we have "Good Computer" and "Bad Computer". We are now both hooked to the satellite and enjoying the faster service but I am missing my power naps.
As to the nation's economy, we have decided to do our part in boosting the GDP. As many of you know we have been contemplating traveling in the near future. We were originally thinking about a 5th wheel trailer that we could pull with the pickup. We even found a model that had all of the features we wanted at a reasonable price. That was the plan until we took our last road trip this spring. I found that driving thru large cities with multiple freeways and off ramps was not real comfortable, and that was in the car. I started extrapolating that into a large pickup and a 32' fifth wheel manuvering thru traffic and came to the conclusion that this was not the answer. I guess I used up all of my truck and trailer skills back at Flintstone. It didn't seem like a big deal then but now is a different time. Maybe it's the Powers traffic. Anyway to make a long story longer, we went grocery shopping in town yesterday and Peggy wanted to stop by the RV place on the way out of town. We looked at a small motorhome and some campers but didn't realy find anything of interest. So as we were leaving I made the colossal blunder of suggesting " Do you want to run by the other Rv dealer while we're in town". Of course, the immediate answer was "Sure we might as well".
Since it's now clear what's coming, I'll skip to the good part. We found a camper. I know, your all wondering about having enough room. Actually we were very suprised as well as we didn't think a camper would be large enough. It is the biggest size they make, and it has a slide out as well. It also has a full size queem bed which was a must on our list. This was the last one of the 2006 models they had and they had it on super sale so the frugal one
among us was also very pleased. All in all it was one of those things that was totally unplanned and yet everything fell into place perfectly. Well, almost perfectly. There is one small problem. The camper can only be hauled on a one ton dually. Looks like it's time for a new pickup. Now if I just knew someone who was into pickup info and internet sources etc. Of course they would also have to be able to read their email more often than once a month. Hmmm
Then again, that may fall into place as well
On the technical side of the ledger, along with the satellite hookup, new email addresses, and multiple downloads to Peggy's computer, the network router and cables are hooked back up and working. We are now using Ebay, Paypal, Ameritrade, Quickbooks and FedEx shipping on a regular basis in regular time. I can almost feel myself slipping into the Matrix.
Have a great week and remember that gratitude pays huge bonuses. It's one of the best investments you can make. Five things to be gratfull for? The five senses. Which would you be willing to do without?
