Ah, WiFi At Last

Fonda, NY

Well, I proved that the smart phone can indeed be used to compose blog posts, and to publish them, and to take pictures and add them on the blog. However, the quality of my writing and the quality of the pictures don't match what I (and you) are accustomed to. I'll strive to find real WiFi whenever possible.

We still have 12 days before Nick's graduation party in Rome. We'll poke along and visit everything we can in between. Does anybody have suggestions for us.

This morning used the rental car to take our Honda outboard to Saratoga Springs, NY for repairs. The engine runs, but the propeller won't spin. I think that the clutch is gone because we dropped the motor in the water last year. We'll pick up the motor next month as we head up to Champlain.

Libby also used the car to visit her friends Mary Ann and Carolyn. That made her very happy. Things worked out well for us in the past few days.

Moving on after returning the car, we passed the Aurisville Shrine. We passed by that place by car many times in the past 40 years. What it is all about and what they do there has always been somewhat of a mystery to us since we're not Catholic. Today I looked it up on the web, here. The story is interesting.

Tonight, we're in Fonda/Fultonville. This is a big truck stop. 18 wheelers are all over the place.

  1. Dick and Libby,

    How far west are you going? I think I heard you were headed to Buffalo, but I'm not certain. There is a crowd gathering at Fairport or Pittsford to cheer you on, or actually have a visit.

    Of course your friends in Camillus will be very disappointed if they don't get to meet Libby.

    Your travels keep me inspired. Maybe I can get Parfait up that way one of these years.

  2. Dick,

    I mentioned in an earlier comment about using your new phone as wifi. I know it sounds weird but you can do it so that you can post from your laptop using your phone. Its how I do it.

    If you look up "tethering" for your phone you'll see what I'm talking about. I can help walk you through it if you're interested. I love your blog and want to see you be able to post to your hearts content, wifi or not. =)

    Tate
