Yesterday Oct 20, 2010

Was as busy as I could be and still made few accomplishments.  Story of my life.

Went to OKC for potential job interview, but first I went to get my Hearing aids cleaned, tested and checked out.  Got that done by 10:15.

Stopped at the RV place and picked up some new valve extensions for the motor home as the “dill valves” in the current ones are bent and do not work properly.  the new ones for some reason set just a little lower than the old ones?  I ended up swapping out one of the valves in to one of the old extensions and used one new and one old?  could not get the new, on one side, to tighten up properly with the chrome cover in place so had to reuse the old with new dill valve in it.    Anyway go them put on after I got home and tires aired to proper values, not to see if they stay that way?

Had the “sort of” interview over lunch and came away with more questions than answers but that is ok.   I was not ready to give in and commute 60 miles a day and they don’t want (but would take) someone that does not live close to work.  Oh well, getting a little “connect” time is good for later.

Left that and headed home, got home about 2:40 and did the valve extension thing on the motor home.    I called the landscape guy to see if he has anything on the fountain we want but got no call back.

Read some notes on the AGWTracker group at Yahoo and find that a new official version was out so dropped everything and went to upgrade that as the old one quits at times?  not sure why, just stops.  Maybe the new one will run smoother.  It has a nice visual appeal now and seems to work ok.  Although after about 2 hours it quit  updating the “object” that I have in it and I will have to watch that to make sure it was not something else that i had going on.

I also find that my VX8R is not tracking properly now.  does not send updates on its own?  I will have to go back through all the setups on that and see if something got changes on it now.   I had it on all the way down and back but only got tracks where I had hit the send button.   (One step back again)…

Then I tried to fix a problem remote (using logmein) on my Dads computer.  It has come up with the “desktop” recover on the front and I cant get the old desktop stuff back.   It may have something to do with the new monitor being out of sync with the computer or not truly compatible with the video card in that computer?    I can make it get to a blue background but not the windows XP version or anything else and when it restarts it goes to white.  I have searched every fix I can find but none of them seemed to help.  Now what?

So it was a busy day  and my progress was pretty small.   Tomorrow I have to start getting my stuff for the trip back to work… uck!
