Quick Post

Busy, busy…

New Phone. Where I’m At
If you’ve been following along the you know I bought a Pixel 6 and then returned it.
At this point I’ve decided to plug along on my buggy Galaxy S7 until something shakes loose. Supply is tight with most desirable phones on backorder. CES is this week so new phones will be announced. The Galaxy S22 is due out in February. So, I’m hoping that the supply gets better, new phones get released, and prices drop.

Winter Is Coming Here
My area got slammed by a winter storm yesterday. The two major interstates got shut down. One because downed trees made it impassable, one because of “disabled tractor trailers”. Folks in that one were trapped on the highway overnight. This while temperatures dipped into the teens.
We didn’t fare too bad. Several trees snapped because of heavy, wet snow. I had to go buy a bigger chainsaw. Lost cable and internet but the power stayed on. I think we were very lucky.
Cable and internet came back moments ago. There will be lots of tree cutting when the weather breaks.
My house is back there somewhere:

July 2021 Vacation Pics, Vids, And Info

July 16, 2021, 13:06(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Our vacation was July 5th -12th, 2021. We traveled from Virginia to Marquette, Michigan with stops at other Michigan locals along the way. We put about 2,700 miles on our vehicle.
This posts contains an image gallery and 3 videos. I used a GoPro Hero 8 and it was my first shot at that and mass video editing so cut me some slack.
This page is VERY large.
