Bad Knees and Lost Watches . . .
My knee seems to be pretty much back to normal, so we walked this morning but kept it to half a mile to see how my knee was going to do.
Getting back to the rig, we sat outside and had our coffee with Nick and Terry, and finished off the last of the cheesy bread we had leftover from Mancino’s Pizza.
A little later we were joined by Phyllis and Dick Schell, blog readers and friends we first met years ago at one of Nick’s Gypsy Journal Rallys. We sat out there talking and laughing until almost 1:30 when a rain shower chased us inside.
But we did make a dinner date for El Maguey tonight.
I never did make it down to the Verizon store today, and I still haven’t restored my contact list. But that’s probably because I didn’t even try to fool with it. One reason is that I’m still thinking about just going ahead and upgrading to a Galaxy S5. I’ve had my Samsung Charge since August 2011, so it’s probably about time. We’ll see how it plays out.
During our walk this morning, we found a watch along the roadway that I turned into Gita at the park office. It was in good shape and still running, and had a blue woven band. It looks like the pin on the band just came loose and it fell off.
Later in the afternoon we got some heavy rain, with more to come. It’s part of the cold front coming through, giving us highs in the 70’s tomorrow and the 60’s on Wednesday.
It’s June. Where’s summer?
About 4:30 we teamed up with Phyllis and Dick Schell, and along with Nick and Terry, we all headed over to El Maguey for dinner. And like usual when you get a bunch of RV’ers together, we did as much talking as eating. A good thing for Nick and I.
Tomorrow, the Verizon store. Maybe.

They’re Symbiotes . . .
Jan and I once again sat outside and had our coffee and toast this morning while we can. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow and be back down into the mid-60’s by Wednesday. Nick came over for a while so Mister could get his ‘Little Buddy’ fix and Nick could get his Mister fix. It’s a symbiotic relationship, and that’s all I’m going to say.
Normally we would have walked this morning, but although my knee is almost back to normal, I don’t want to push it. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday.
On the phone front, my Samsung Droid Charge apparently had a mild stroke sometime yesterday, when it lost all my contacts. My Call Log and everything else seems to be fine, just my contacts are gone.
I went online to the Backup Assistant and they’re all there, but so far I haven’t been able to restore them back to my phone. All the instructions seem to be for restoring to a new phone, not your old one. Plus the app on the phone only allows for backing up, not restoring. So I’ll probably just go by the Verizon store here in Elkhart tomorrow to figure it out.
Then again, maybe this is just God’s way of telling me I need that new Samsung Galaxy S5.
Just a warning . . .
I’ve been getting a lot of dangerous emails and I wanted to be sure that everyone was on the lookout for them.
They masquerade as Wal-Mart Gift Cards, Chili’s Coupons, or Red Lobster, etc. or even Free iPhones,
Because the fact that there’s usually something funny about the wording or phrasing of the message, the biggest giveaway is the email address shown at the upper left.
In this case, it’s ‘[email protected]’.
Do you really think that Wal-Mart is going to have an email address with ‘pigduke’ in it?

Here’s the exact same email, but from ‘[email protected]’.

And here’s what looks like a Delivery Notice from the US Post Office. Do you really thing the US Postal Service would be using a United Kingdom email address?
What do you think is going to happen if you try to print that shipping label? And why would you need to print a shipping label to PICK UP a package, anyway?
And note that apparently you can go to ANY Post Office to pick up your package.
So check those email addresses, and Let’s Be Careful Out There.
