Now the question.....

Anybody load this "new" 1926 radio? What does it supposedly do? And Verizon users can use the same radio file as the big boys?

[underway99]

Yes. Supposedly better battery and signal. Both WiFi and telephone network strength are said to be better. I've found my battery to be a little better and my cell signal too. My WiFi was already good.

[jaydee5799]

I have the "new" radio too. Seems fine. My battery is still meh but I have no problem with calls or signal.

Let's start with the food. WOW. Scrumptious looking. Was this a home affair or at some restaurant. I love seafood.

AND THANKS for that RADIO review.

Oh, radio - does this wipe the device or just over-write the existing radio? If one does not like it can one reasonably rollback?

Now back to salivating..........

It does look so good. I love seafood also. Yummo.

As for the radio, just goes over existing. It's an autoloader but does not wipe or anything. Easy. Yes you can go back

Ah, yes, the posh resort of Saratoga Springs - I visited it when I was about 7 or 8 years old and still recall THE WATER!

Saratoga Springs (the posh place) is where we go for dinner and shopping as it is about 35 minutes from where I live. The downtown area has all the high priced, high quality shops were the horsey set plunk down a lot of money in august. I do not go watch the ponies run but many do! In fact, I keep out of there during August as the number of people in the area swells by 100 fold.

However, this new restaurant downtown has become my favorite and boy! was it all so good!
The springs are still there. Still can get a massage and mineral bath if you want to pay (130 buck or there abouts). The water is the highly concentrated sulfur water.... and walking by the springs in the park still smells like rotten eggs.

You brought back even more memories. We did a lot of local travel when I was a kid. My parents were into exploring NY and New England and down to Gettysburg. We also drove to Florida during Spring break a few times and hit all the sites including D.C. a number of times. Just the four of use, my sister 3.5 years younger. Still fond memories, Fort Ticonderoga, Ausable Chasm, Lake Champlain - except the papermill in Berlin, NH - AWFUL and the waters of Saratoga.

Ponies - ha. We use to go to Monticello Race Track when I was in HS when we were up in "The Mountains" in the summer.

The running of the thoroughbreds makes tons of money for the area. And why they can offer such exclusive things and prices. But its a great time if you like summer and horse racing.

Just musing. I ordered a $4.00 part. It has been traipsing all over the country and almost beyond. I wonder if I will get it in this calendar year. It was initially due on Jan 7th. I figure due to the bad weather it may have been expedient to ship from ILL to Alaska but.....Is it any wonder that Postal Service may be having some financial issues:

Geeze F2! That's some trip for a package.

Hey Ramblers!!
Happy Friday. I'm so glad I got the remote file access working on my phone finally! Now I can transfer stuff from work and home laptops without a cable! Yipee! Was a big problem before. of course, I had to coerce IT to allow me to download BB Link, but now that I have that all is well.

[jaydee5799]

Oh and this week marks another big milestone in my life....my son bought his very own car...first time car buyer, first time with insurance in his own name, name on registration etc!
What a thing for a parent to go through. Im telling you, it has been stressful. I have had a constant neck pain all week. He picks up the car tomorrow morning (car vehicle, truck...it's an Equinox) and I get my Malibu back! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!

[middbrew]

That's a big thing for you, it's a sign you are moving to a new phase of parenthood. I'm guessing it's an even bigger thing for him. I remember getting my first car. I was on top of the world.

[jaydee5799]

It is a new phase for me. I found myself wishing he was just 8 or 9 again!
Now he's asking about interest rates and extended coverages and what does roll over the remaining payments to a new car mean and stuff like that! I have had to give him all the knowledge I can...very stressful. he works fulltime and goes to grad school. Now taking on the car payment and his insurance for the first time. Gonna be stressful for him too.

[middbrew]

Nice! It's pretty cool he is willing to come to you with the questions. Here's to hoping the best for him, it's hard working and going to grad school. Or so I'm told. I had stipends and assistantships all through grad school.

I do to. A Toyota. Although, for insurance and financing purposes, it was in my dad's name. When I moved to Chicago two years later we transferred title. When I moved to Washington, I had to dig up papers to show that sales taxes had been paid on it 5 years earlier!!!

So he got his car this morning and I got mine back. Finally!!!! First thing I did was wash and vacuum it. In a snowstorm. Haha
