    iOS7 update

    Download took around an hour or so. Took about another half hour to install update. So far so good. Nothing missing, all contacts, photos, made the transition. Had to update a couple of apps before they would work, but other than that, things seemed to have went rather smoothly. :)

    iOS7 update

    Downloading the update now for my wife's IPhone 4. We'll see how this goes :) Had to have a WiFi connection in order to download. Estimated to take about an hour. Wish us luck. I'm a former network / system administrator and this new technology stuff still makes me nervous!

    preventable?

    Woman should have been cited for at least 2, possibly 3 offenses: Passing on right, failure to control, and probably speeding. How can you possibly hold anyone responsible, when the other person breaks the law. Oh, I see it now, Truck Driver = always at fault :mad:

    President Hillary Rodham Clinton

    Yes. She has pretty much already stopped herself. Based on her "stellar" performance as SOS, crappy. No, I would not support her candidacy. I would actively work against her election. Simple questions, simple answers. But hey, my candidate of choice at the moment would be Dwayne "The Rock"...

    What would you do?

    Not sure what type of GPS you are using. Our Rand McNally TND-710 currently reports our top speed as well over 120 mph! (Truck is governed at 65.) Not really impressed with the accuracy ;)

    Stretching generator pm interval

    We have started doing every oil change. Missed it entirely, until a friend of ours pointed it out to us. Our generator started to "smoke" a little occasionally. Since cleaning the spark arrestor, no problems. The arrestor is a "plug" in the exhaust, located near the muffler. Way up in the guts...

    Stretching generator pm interval

    Just a note: you can easily run up 50, 60 or even more hours on a generator sitting on a long, hot weekend. (A/C running constantly, cooking, TV/Satellite...) We have a 7500 Watt Onan. long since out of warranty. Unit currently has almost 12,000 hours on it. Our fleet owner has us change all...

    Scanners

    We have when scanning ours in. One rare occasions, especially if you pick up from airports, the ending digit isn't an "1". Seen 2's a few times. Ours is working as advertised. No missing BOLs so far. Have used it to send in our recent DOT inspection form and our IAC paperwork.
