R.I.P. Tim Conway

A truly unique and timeless talent. For those of us old enough to remember, that description fits all of the Carol Burnett show regulars, but Tim was something special. He will live on in the countless skits that will be replayed for generations. I can't help but smile every time I think about Tim saying "Eh Miss Wiggins" in that fake accent.

Favorite YouTube music videos

I tend to spend a fair amount of time listening to music on YouTube. Here's a very small sample of what I like and I thought it might be interesting to see what YouTube music other Factory-ites enjoy.

has an internet order ever been wrong / contents not in order?

In about 17 years or so of ordering things online, there were only 4 times that orders were wrong. The latest two weeks ago.

The offenders?

amazon.com and costco.com

One time, a $60 amazon item never arrived. They sent another.

One time, an amazon package had the wrong item--item shipped $18, item ordered, $28. They sent correct item and took back shipped item.

Took my GPS for a drive around England

I just got back from England where I used by DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S in a rental car. Before going I added a Garmin City Navigator Europe/UK microSD card for the data. I located all the towns, attractions, and B&Bs I was going to stay in advance and Saved their locations.

Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – May 2019

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

This week we're recognizing, Mahoney!

Mahoney has been with POI Factory for over 12 years!

Honestly, I've lost track of the number of POI files Mahoney maintains.

Besides the one listed on his profile page he also updates several that remain under other member names (we keep them there for a few years just in case the members find time to start updating them again).

Personal Messages

Hello.

I am fairly new to this site, and am wondering if there is an area where i can see my message to other members.

I sent a message to a member a while back about updating a POI file, but got no response. I would like to see my original message text and IF it was read.

Thanks

Craig
