Starting to like my garmin

Starting to like my garmin better than the GPS included in my new Toyota Hybrid! At least the passenger can input information in the garmin while the vehicle is moving - can't do that on the Toyota, must stop the car first.

I know it's a safety feature, but very irritating. There's a sensor in the passenger seat to determine if somone is there for the airbag, so if the passenger seat is occupied, they should be able to overide this feature!

Candy

My husband and I are on our second bag of candy. We buy it saying it will be for Halloween but it never makes it past a couple of days. We have to eat light meals but the candy is worth it...Each time we go to the store I say I'm not getting any more and today I put three back in my shopping cart!!!

Have a nice week everyone grin

I still have Snickers bars from last year.

Progress on Office Remodel

I took a break from the office remodel for a couple days to do some "regular" work and complete the weekly camera research with GlobeTurtle. But I did make quite a bit of progress on the office remodel last week -- electrical and data wiring are roughed in; added insulation to the partition walls to help keep things quiet. So now I'm ready to put up and finish some new drywall, and then start in on painting. smile

For some reason Jonathan does not want to paint the “Intergalactic Headquarters of POI Factory, LLC”, bright fuchsia with those cute little black and white hair-bow adorned skull and crossbones applicades.

A map of Boise with all your favorite places shown with coordinates and icons would be more suitable.

Living in the cold zone

Weather stations including an airport within a mile of me last night reported a low of 48. My two weather stations reported 36 and 38, respectively. I must be living in a fridge.

Real Restaurants Only POI

My TomTom has a built-in restaurants POI (Favorites), but it includes every fast food place in town w/it. Does anyone know of a POI that includes only sit down full service restaurants?

There are 914 listings there. That should be something you want.
