Hey There! It's 9:06 AM MST, 46°F, partly cloudy

Yesterday was another of those run-around days where you do a lot of little things which don't seem to amount to anything much in the end. A "this-and-that" day.

After morning coffee and headlines, and my morning walk, I wanted to try and get my new Garmin messaging system working. I tried to set up a tracking map by making DW a contact and sending here a "track me" message. Long story short, it didn't end up amounting to anything. She could not click onto the map link and get the map working.

I did a little digging and saw that linking the unit to my phone was something that might work, so I did that. At some point in the day I unlinked them, and then had a hell of a time trying to re-establish the bluetooth connection. In between all this effort I did an interview with a former colleague for an event at the local performing arts center.

I also got a few packages from Amazon, including a new pair of headphones that lay around your ears and not on top of them. I want to try and use these for the motorcycle while I ride. I also got a new USB power plug for the bike, but I took a look at how the current one is installed and it may be a bitch getting that one off to install a new one. I also got a new XT mount, and hopefully can get that installed today.

Just before dinner I finally managed to get the bluetooth connection working on the Garmin 66i and my phone. I am hoping this morning they will pair once again. I don't know yet. I am going riding with the guy who installed my windshield today, so I will see if I can get that working. No big deal if I don't.

Dinner was chicken shwarma with broccoli, and then DW and I spent the evening watching the final three episodes of Wonder Man. Not bad overall. A couple of slow sections here and there but overall entertaining. Bedtime about 11:15 PM.

'Til We Meet Again!
