Since the Songbird Festival took up my weekend, I had to do weekend chores today starting with some laundry. There are 19 things on my checklist of getting ready to hit the road, and today I accomplished 5 of them. Some things I can't do until the last minute, but today I put the Blue Ox hitch on the back of the motorhome so I can hook up the car when I pull out. I also defrosted the frig and began packing up outside things like the tablecloth on the picnic table. Normally I'd pack away the gas grill, but today I decided I'm just going to put it in the trash. I've only had it a year, but it just won't warm up enough to cook anything on it. I don't know if I'll replace it or not. It's just as easy for me to cook inside. If I'm in a state park, I can always cook over an open fire. I really enjoy doing that. I'm thinking it's just extra weight to carry along that I really haven't used that much. Not sure what I'll do with the little ten pound gas ball that I have for it though. That was a pricey little item that I bought in the fall of '08 so I wouldn't have to purchase those expensive one pound propane canisters.
I also took care of several other things that weren't on the list, but needed to be done before I leave. As you can tell, I put off doing the two things that I really don't like doing...checking the air pressure in the tires and checking the water level in the batteries. Ugh! I'll force myself to do those two items tomorrow. :(
Before you know it, it was time to sit outside with my camera to see the visitors at the Hard Rock Bird Cafe. :)
EEK!!! I tried to insert my photos, and suddenly tonight blogger won't let me do it! What's up with that? I can only do it for previous pictures on this blog or through Picassa. I just want to upload photos from "my pictures" on my computer. I don't get it. I'm not happy. :(
Can someone else using blogspot dot com please help me???
Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy

My two most un-favorite things to do are tire pressures and battery water levels!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a small gas grill - not even out of the box yet. I sure hope it heats up ok, but maybe I won't throw away my little Smoky Joe charcoal grill just yet.
I didn't have a problem loading a picture yesterday, but I am really going to get steamed if Blogger thinks I am going to use Picasa for anything. Maybe it's just a fluke and tomorrow it will be ok?
I just tried now on my blog and it worked. Browsed right out to my pictures on my computer and added a hummingbird. Maybe you have a case of the Aunt Pam's. he he
ReplyDeleteJudy, went to Blogger Help and clicked on the help forum. They're aware of the problem, but no fix as of yet. Looks like lots of people are having the problem, and it looks like they've had this problem before.

I'm not buying anything, either for this house, for myself, or for the future, but I hope to pin down a brand and exact type of little gas grill that I can put on my wish list for Christmas. If it's very expensive, my daughter can give it to both of us. But we all spend a lot on each other every year and I told her I don't want anything I'm going to have to get rid of or store.
ReplyDelete(I did look up the park pass, and the first time we go to a National Park we will get one. You have to get it in person at a park, not online or by mail.)
Sometimes if that happens to me I just log out and come back and it works. Maybe that will help.

Judy, I just tried again, (Wednesday at 9:30 PM EDT) and was able to post a photo from my pictures on my hard drive.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they've got the problem fixed.
