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,
