Today was a catch up day. We had stopped at the post office in Lebanon, Missouri, yesterday and picked up three boxes of mail. One of them was a box of forwarded mail and the other two contained our new Wilson Trucker’s Antenna and booster which are, we hope, going to help us stay connected to the world in places where the signal may not be so great.
So today we processed lots of mail and spent hours crawling around the RV figuring out where we could place the outside antenna, inside antenna, and booster box so as to get the best reception. These all have to connect to one another by cables. Figuring out where we can safely run those cables is challenging, to say the least. We could hire someone to install all that but that’s not nearly as much fun. Of course, we might not think it was so much fun if we ever actually finish this task. For now, we are still thinking about the best way to do it.
We did install our new Instant Off Water Saver.
This thing is designed to let you leave the water turned on low but the water doesn’t flow until you push against the rod hanging from the faucet. The idea for us is that I could quit getting the handle soapy when I turned the water back on after washing my hands and I could quit dripping water all over the sink when turning off the water or washing the soap off the handles. It might work well for a sink where the faucet is located down in the sink but this one sprayed the whole counter. I tried several times to make it work but got tired of cleaning up the messes I was making so we took it off again. Oh, well, another “good” idea gone by the wayside.
The final task of the day was to set up and learn to use this new blog site. How am I doing?
TTYL,

You’re doing quite well with WordPress. There are lots of other templates you might like instead of just the default but perhaps that will come with time. I’ve been using it for some three years now and love its configurability. I would like to __suggest__ cutting down on the number of posts per page. Try it under: Log In> Settings> Reading> Blog pages show at most = ?. George of Tioga & George uses only 1 post per page while I prefer 2 posts per page. It’s a preference which is why they allow a choice. I’ve also designed my own templates but that’s because I like to play with HTML and CSS. 😎 Sorry about myblogsite and their policies on wordiness but I like what you’ve done with the website so far. PS: Also born and raised in Illinois but nowhere near Route 66.
Thanks for the feedback. I changed the posts to two per page. I haven’t had much time available to play with WordPress. Maybe I’ll do that if we ever park someplace long enough.
