Saturday . . .
Today was more of the same, downloading software, getting it activated, and also tracking down the software I have on DVD’s.The only one I haven’t found yet is my Delorme Street Atlas 2015. I haven’t seen it since I installed the 2015 version last February.
On a side note, I’m kind of worried about Delorme and their Street Atlas program. I’ve used that programsince the early 2000’s and every year, the new version is announced in the Jan-Feb timeframe.
But this year, not a word. And if yuu go to their website, they still show the 2015 version.
I suspect the reason is that early this year, the GPS maker, Garmin, bought Delorme, and I hope this doesn’t spell doom for Street Atlas.
They have also drastically cut back their support forums to almost nothing. And the one topic about the 2016 version is a real bummer. Apparently they do not plan a 2016 version, and said they will ‘think’ about doing future versions.
And since Microsoft discontinued Streets and Trips a couple of years ago, that leaves nothing to replace them that doesn’t require Internet access on the road.
Just BUMMER!
On a better note, going through my bins I did find my 3rd GPS module. Karma chewed up the USB connector on my first one, I gave my 2nd one to my son Chris, so now finding my 3rd one, I won’t have to try to repair the 1st one right now.
But I’ll keep it just in case.
later in the afternoon, I made a quick run over to the Krogers in Willis to pick up a few things we forgot last night. And I was surprised to see this in the frozen foods section. Although we have bought cans of the chili, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in frozen foods.
We’ll have to try it sometime.

Getting home, I did my outside chores, disconnecting sewer and water hoses, speeding up leaving tomorrow morning. Next I checked the rig’s tire pressures and found that no air was needed.
I’ve been very impressed with these Hercules Ironman tires we put on after our blowout last May. The only time I’ve had to put air in is to adjust for winter and summer temps. Really nice.
For dinner tonight, Jan fixed BCT sandwiches, that’s Bacon, Cheese, and Tomato. And rather than frying up bacon and smelling up the rig, or using the microwave stuff that comes out limp and soggy, we came across this brand a few weeks ago, and it’s really good.
It’s is microwaved, but every four slices are in a sealed pouch, and are cooked that way. This makes it come out crispy and crunchy, and really good. Try it.
Tomorrow we’ll have our usual Cracker Barrel breakfast before we make the 290 mile journey over to the Medina Lake Thousand Trails for a couple of weeks.
Jan’s really looking forward to feeding the deer again.
