mskay Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Aren't we full-timers just the luckiest when it comes to power outages. We are used to it. Kay, we will definitely see you in Arizona, just can't say when. We probably won't do much moving around this year but we will base ourselves in Arizona. See y'all Hugs Good deal....we will be there. I think we will do like we did last year. It's another down year, so we won't run around muchg either. Just day trips and hang out with friends.

They just might recognize you otherwise! Would love to see the bears catching salmon! Take pictures. Be safe. Glad you're finally on the road again. Don't forget your marker so we can keep track of you .... or, get out of your way.

weaverworks Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Has anyone tried to move their marker lately? I can't move mine! Does that mean I have to return to that darn KOA I was at when last set my marker and stay there forever?.......YIKES!!!

Sandie & Jim Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm having the same trouble with my marker. It won't let me leave Billings. I think the map needs some technical work done to it. Jim and I worked the popcorn booth this morning. My favorite booth, of course.

weaverworks Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Joe....I must be living in the Twilight Zone. I'm a prisoner of KOA. I tried a half dozen times to move my marker but can't. I even tried to move it to Buffalo, NY....just for the heck of it. Won't even let me visit Buffalo for gosh sakes.

I'll see what happens tomorow when I need to move it once again.

IYQ Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've been moving my marker all over the place without any trouble. However I move it by typing in a new GPS coordinate instead of dragging the marker to a new place. Maybe it's because all the places I've been are in a rush to get rid of me. See, being a pain in the butt had some advantages. I called the VA in Silver City, NM they are sending me a registration packet and said They would give me an appointment when they got it back. They told me all this has to be done by phone and mail. I can't just drive up there and fill out the forms and get an appointment. Crazy. But I'm doing nicely with controling the pain just with exercises. It's a bit of a problem in the morning when I first get up but I take one pain pill for that and it works pretty good. The Pharmacist told me it would be safe for me to take Tylenol as it is not processed by the kidney but it could cause liver failure if I took more than the recommended maximum dose per day. So If the pain returns before I get to the doctor I'll fry my liver instead of my Kidney. It was really a scorcher here today. 101 degrees under the trailer and 106 above it in the shade of the tree. I went down town and the heat didn't seem to bother me much. But, my poor air conditioner is sure getting a work out. I hope it keep on churning. It can't keep the temperature down to 75 where I have it set but it manages to keep it in the mid 80's.

Wanderin Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well, after tons of research we just made reservations for February and March in Corpus. Don't we make plans just so we can have something to break? After all, if the Weavers and the Parks can make plans this early, I figured we could too. Temperature averages are only a couple degrees cooler than the RGV area but having access to the Gulf seemed a little bit more inviting. Who knows? We only know if we made bad plans when they don't work out. We have no clue on January yet. However, I'm certain it won't take us a month to drive there. IYQ -- Lee and MaryJane are close to you.

Sandie & Jim Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well, I just tried to move my marker again and no such luck. It will let me input the location data and says marker updated. But it won't change the date and after I close out it goes back to Billings. So I'm stuck there. Driving golf carts this afternoon. Had a light show last night that was really incredible. (Lightning) Cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, overhead, - really a storm. But today is looking pretty good.

I looked at the map the first time you posted this problem and since it said Gillette, I figured you figured it out. However, according to what I see you are in Gillete. You were there yesterday too when I looked. Quote Just Wanderin' On a permanent vacation! http://blog.willywagon.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striper Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well I changed my location the other day and everything worked just fine. However just now I went in to change my location again and it had already moved me back to Oak Harbor. So guess it ain't workin to well after all.

Dave Sand Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Not sure what is going on, but something is confused.

Striper Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I suspect it might be browser caching. Dave Sand Hi Dave, Yes I changed my location to Carnation, WA on the date shown. However today when I went to the map to move myself back to Oak Harbor, the pin and the location said I was in Oak Harbor. Before I signed out yesterday both items said I was in Carnation. So today I just left and figured sooner or later it would get figured out.

IYQ Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 It was another scorcher today. 108 on the weather station about 3 feet above the rig and 101 on the inside outside thermometer under the trailer. I sat outside for a while watching for when the water tank overflowed while filling it. It didn't feel too bad until I walked out into the sun. That was like walking into a blast furnace. I took one of the gals here out to Mexican dinner tonight to break up the monotony. It tasted pretty good for a change. I don't worry about my stick pin going back to a place I just left. I worry about them not letting me come back.
