Our RV Adventures

Another overcast, rainy morning, very nice for Jan’s reading and my website work. Although we really don’t need any more rain around here, it’s certainly nice to keep the temperatures down. So no more power outages. Yet.

About 1:30 Jan and I headed in Columbus to have the lunch buffet at Schobel’s Restaurant. We regularly have the breakfast buffet, usually on the Sunday morning before we head back over to Lake Conroe after our two weeks here at Colorado River. But we’ve only had the lunchtime version a couple of times before, so it was time for another visit. And it was well worth it.

The menu rotates regularly, with today’s offering Fried Catfish, Roasted Chicken, Meatloaf, Green Beans with Bacon, Carrots, Squash Casserole, Black-eyed Peas, Corn, Broccoli, Mac N Cheese, and a couple of other veggies, plus a delicious salad bar. A really great meal.

Heading back home we made a Brookshire Bros. stop for some fresh salad fixings and a few other things. Then after a stop at the PO to drop off some letters, we headed back to the park just as it started to sprinkle.

Then as the afternoon went on, the sprinkles became drizzles, and the drizzles turned to showers. Then the showers morphed into thunder, lightning, and the bottom dropping out, which pretty much took care of the rest of the night.

About 9:30pm I drove over to Barbara Spade’s rig to pick up her laptop to do a clean-up/speed-up on it., cleaning the gunk out, so to speak..

Should only take me a day or so.

We have three remotes for our DirecTV DVR, all over 8 years old, and all having 1 or more flakey keys.

So I decided to take them apart to try and clean them, but then realized I was out of Strike-Hold, the amazing magic electric elixir that has worked its magic on many of my electrical devices.

While not conductive itself, Strike-Hold is perfect for preventing rust, dry-lubing firearms, and cleaning electrical contacts. Here’s a video of an electric drill running while dunked into a vat of the stuff.

So I put in an Amazon order for a 16oz spray can of the stuff, which should be here later this week.

Strike-Hold

Several blog readers have reported good results from my Never10 download page, blocking the installation of  Windows 10 and deleting already existing files. And our friend Tricia said that her computer just started installing Windows 10 while they were using it. So she used my suggestion of refusing to accept the Terms and Conditions. When you click ‘Don’t Agree’, it uninstalls Win10 and puts everything back like it was.

Then run Never10 so it won’t try it again.

Thought for the Day:

There is no such thing as idiot proof. There is only idiot resistant. The ingenuity of idiots knows no bounds.
