Although the content is written about a GPS watch as the device, the content applies to our car mounted devices as well. It's an interesting read but you can quickly skip to the numbered sections; i. e., 1, 2, 3,etc.

A new Windows 10 VERSION showed up last night on my computer ready for me to install. So I did. From the brief description I didn't appreciate that it was a new version I was installing, so I started it at 1 a.m. It finally finished at 2:15 a.m., 75 minutes later. And I have an SSD, which means that baby did some serious installing.
Here are the details:

Yesterday, our fridge was warm again. When I say again, it happened in 2018, and 2019.

I googled it back in 2018, and sign of fridge warm, freezer frozen, is often a problem with defrosting. At that time, I didn't even know a fridge defrosts 3X per day. This fridge is a nicer 2002 model--not sure if built better/worse than current ones.

Garmin Express 7.0.1.0 has been released. It allows looking at map and software update descriptions without connecting a device.

I upgraded a fairly new system from 3 to 4 pin fans
And put old fans on a shelf.
Stumbled across them today.
They were pricey fans as they have slide ins for SM Chassis.
Have 2 different sizes of 3 pin SM fans, and wiring harnesses, and some 3” drive hot swap caddies for the hot swap drive chassis.

If you could use any email me, you can have them for postage.

Today we received a rebate check dated June 1 2020 from Liberty Mutual Insurance Company for April through May for Covid-19 for the lock down in my state. The check was for $22.00, what an insult.
I think it time for me to change insurance companies.

With the stay at home, this kind of stuff has been used up. I had a Tabasco, then I had some Asian chili oil, all gone.

So my wife says you have something in the back there (of the cupboard). I pull it out, and it's Frank's expired in 2012. Buddy said it's fine, but I didn't want to use it.

Start looking online and here we go again, gouge central! lol

Again... this should be interesting.

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

anyone hear of the 20 mph for Washington DC?

The update is sitting there ready to be downloaded on my PCs, but I'm not doing it after reading this:

Here it is 2020, and I sold my first item on eBay.

Is it possible to make a few extra dollars by getting rid of things?!

I can see it's tough because eBay takes 10% and PayPal takes I think it's 2.9% plus 30 cents.

I had buyer pay shipping, and even that is a loss, despite having a discount of 20% on ground and 40% on surcharges.

Why?
