Apple today released iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1, minor updates to the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 operating systems that debuted earlier in September. iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1 come three weeks after the launch of iOS 18.1.

I don't think the email works for me here as I never get a copy even when I check the box.

The Pilot Truck stop at 942 E Pima St, Gila Bend AZ 58337 is now a ONE9 Truck Stop. Google Earth Street view shows it as a ONE9/Shell station.

Also, I don't think there are 200 truck parking spots. Maybe 100 or less.

Thanks,
Tom

Happy Veteran's Day ...

For the more mature members here, what are you thoughts on using these for consuming media. Is there a platform you find easier to use over others?

Trying to get an 80+ relative to use a roku or android tv for more channels rather than youtube on a pc browser. Not very successful. The relative finds the UI and interaction very confusing, counter-intuitive.

I am interested in hearing from others hear what causes street names to change in your areas? The reason I ask is because I have noticed a few anomalies near me. If you look at the URL below you will see what Akron Ave in Inver Grove Heights MN 55077 has a street intersecting it that is Akron Ave E. However, the street sign shows that street as 118th St E.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

Gotta love the Postal (so called) Service.

Waiting for a package, was supposed to be here the 24th, and it was close, a couple miles away in Chester on the 26th, then it takes a 43 mile trip to Willow Grove, only to come back to Chester this morning.

I am looking for off-road trail maps for ATVing and UTVing.

I have the following:

VV Mapping (Great Lakes ORV Trails MI, MN, WI, IN)

onX Offroad Maps

Polaris Ride Command

Each one has its pros and cons. For example:

VV Mapping works great on a Garmin, but it only covers a few states.

onX Offroad Maps works with CarPlay/Android Auto, but seems to miss some ATV/UTV trails.
