Awake: 5:20am Temp 60 sleep 5+09 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting, I visited the Krumenacker Hardware store & purchased (2) large water filters & (2) small water filters. After breakfast, I changed all (4) filters. Kathy helped out by washing all (4) canisters. We got (56) days out of those last filters. They catch a lot of iron but so far, we have no iron stains.
Derek from Verizon gave us a courtesy call today; he tipped us off that Kathy has gone over her megabits using her Mifi in the amount of $40 + dollars. Yikes! I let him know that she keeps track of her usage of Megabits.... & (5) days ago, she was not even close to dangerous overuse.
Derek told me that if she watches a lot of movies on her computer or political programs, posts lots of photos, etc., this would use up megabits quickly. I told him that we also have DSL from Verizon & seems that I should be able to connect her computer to my modem? "Yes, you should be able to, but you will need an Ethernet cable," he said. I thanked him for his good call & will try to get her to use the Ethernet.
Well, we were very surprised about all of this but thankful that Derek from Verizon tipped us off. Immediately...I got into action. I knew right away that Kathy would miss having the use of her Apple computer & that would be a struggle for me to share the use of my Dell. Horrors!
Before we purchased this motorhome, it was equipped with a satellite dish & a wireless system. The cost of using the Satellite for computer signals was quite expensive & we learned from other owners that used that satellite system, it was slow.
So I detached the Ethernet cable from the wireless unit on the motorhome, plugged that end into Kathy's Apple computer & the other end into my modem. Then I asked Kathy to see if she could get a signal. It wasn't immediate & she had to do some finagling, but it worked.Then she had to set up a new work area so the cord could reach.No Mify until August 29th; but Kathy says this Ethernet works just fine.
Dinner: BBQ chicken & rice with golden raisins; tomato, avocado salad; & sweet & sour cucumbers.
Lights out: 11:21pm.
