A Kindle Fix and a great Steak . . .
I was up a little early this morning, 9:45 to be exact, so Jan and I could go down to Big Jim’s Coffee Wagon at the front of the park for their great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I also wanted to double-check why I couldn’t log into one of the passworded Wi-Fi signals here. Turns out that they had given me the wrong password for the wrong site, but with the right one I was able to log in with no problem.
More and more it looks like my Kindle problem is with my Cradlepoint router.
While I dropped off some Gypsy Journals at the park lounge, our daughter Brandi called to check in about this weekend.
Then getting back to the rig, Nick Russell called to talk about our route tomorrow up to Long Beach, WA, and to see if I was having any luck with the Kindle.
After that, I went outside to work on some things around the rig, and lo and behold, our friends Bob Parker & Donna Huffer drove up to our site. We hadn’t seen them since Arizona, so it was good to catch up.
Around 3 pm I did an online chat with Cradlepoint Tech Support, and they solved my Kindle login problem in about 30 seconds.
I was told to turn off User Login off. Since I had never turned it on, I assume it was a factory default. It certainly didn’t keep my Blackberry or laptop from logging to it. But at least it’s fixed now.
Later, around 4 pm, Jan and I headed into Bend for our final meal here, and once again, we picked Baldy’s BBQ. Believe me, some great BBQ comes out of this unassuming restaurant.
While Jan had her usual rib dinner, I decided to go in a different direction, so I order the 16 oz. Ribeye.
WOW!
These people know how to cook a steak. It was done perfectly. It was charred and burnt around the edges, but medium rare inside.
It just doesn’t get any better than this.
After a great meal, we left Baldy’s and drove over the Wal-Mart to pick some things before we hit the road tomorrow.
We’ve got a 290 mile run to Long Beach, WA to the Thousand Trails park there. We’ll be meeting up with Nick and Terry for about two weeks or so.
