Tablets

Do I need, really need one? No  Are they cool? Yes
Samsung and Acer are under consideration, Sony nice but high.
I can do all this with my phone - correct?

Update: We ended up getting an Asus. Later we added the keyboard. It's nice but we don't use it much. Barb uses it to play Sudoku   We can't get wifi at the camper so that's a challenge.  I use it to surf and e-mail usually from bed or when watching tv.  I think I'd rather have a chrome book.

I don't know if we could use the Asus with a mobile hotspot?  Spring mobile hotspot is $30.00/month.

Grout

3M makes a very good product for softening grout...

Napster replacement

The verdict is out of whether Rhapsody is an improvement over Napster... oh well, I didn't have a choice...

BK

Burger King fries are very good these days.  The fish sandwich wasn't bad either.  The Dr. Pepper kept me awake all night however.

Chop

Is there anything better than a good porkchop?

sticks

The snow plow guys have inserted the rods in the ground to mark the curbs for when we get dumped on with the white stuff.  Not a good sign.

D-Link

Not impressed with my purchase of a new router.  We wanted a faster connection for our wireless laptops, desktop and PS3, so I thought it was time to get a router with the N designation.  I dreaded the potential problems that could occur, and sure enough they came to pass.

It took 3 calls to D-Link and 3 calls to Windstream before I finally got it.  Of course the manual sucks and the customer service people were poor.  Static IP address, dynamic connections, subnet masks - no good...

Perkins

The Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger at Perkins was outstanding.  I have ordered this many times before, but they have obviously over-hauled it.  Nice bun, bacon and the hamburger was real and thick.  It's crazy that a hamburger is $9.00 these days, but sometimes you just HAVE to eat out.  Time to dig into the muffins we brought home.

Snapper

I declare that Snapper is a good mower.

And, my wife was right, the lawn looks really good all mowed and bagged with minimal leaves. Good job Josh & David.  Now the city dump calls...
