Not Bad, Not Great . . .
Well, it looks like the Verizon guys don’t work on weekends. As I mentioned before, during most of the day I have crappy 1X Internet here at Cherokee Landing. Then most nights suddenly I have 3 or 4 bars of 3G after 8pm.
But today I’ve had 4 bars of 3G all day and all night. So I’m glad they take weekends off, or at least Saturdays.
A little before 4pm Jan and I headed back over to Corinth for dinner. This time our destination was Mi Toro once again, the same Mexican restaurant we ate at last week. But things change, and we ended up at the Ryan’s right down the street.
And I guess we can be happy that it was not great, but not bad either. Just OK.
I will say the steaks were really good, but they weren’t real good about keeping some things stocked up, especially the fried chicken. They are set up with two pans, one for white, breast and wings, and one for dark, thighs and legs. But while we were there they pretty much just had two pans of thighs.
I don’t know if they figured people couldn’t tell the difference, or maybe the servers couldn’t tell the difference. Could be both, or either. But not good, anyway.

As soon as I get to somewhere with a better connection, I’m probably going to download Windows 10 on one of my machines, most likely my ASUS laptop.
The word so far seems to be pretty favorable. Which is not unexpected, since kind of like Star Trek movies, every other one seems to be a good one. For example:
Windows 95 – Good
Windows 98 – Sucked
Windows 98SE – Good
Windows ME – Really Sucked
Windows XP – Good
Windows Vista – Sucked
Windows 7 – Good
Windows 8 – Sucked
Windows 10 – Good So Far
The Win 10 download is about 6 GB, so it’s going take a while.
Tomorrow we’re going to head out about 9:30 on our 145 mile run to Athens, AL to spend some time catching up with my relatives. We’re going to stop for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in Corinth, MS about 35 miles along the way. At least as long as the parking lot isn’t too full.

I used to be disgusted. Now I’m just amused.
