Oct. 6th, 2014 12:30 amOur new medium-sized thermos worked wonderfully on Saturday, delivering steaming-hot soup about 7 hours after we'd filled it. I was impressed. My 'lunch time' smaller thermos failed so my own soup bowl had a lukewarm offering in it. Nonetheless, it was warm enough that dipping my bread in it was satisfying.
We made the trip with one of my protogees in the back seat. Oh my. I shall have to find a way to chat with her about her need to fill silence with 'conversation'. We had no chance to take two breathes together before there was another comment or conversation-opener from the back seat. For five hours. I had a heck of a headache by the time we reached the site. Which reminds me. I hate Garmin right now. "update" indeed! Once we got close to the site and needed directions, I turned it on and the screen read, "no maps loaded". I was not a happy woman. It had seemed to work when I was at home, after the partial-upload (it doesn't have a big enough memory to hold an entire USA map system any longer so I opted for 'east coast area'.) Now I have to either go buy a memory chip and figure out how to install it, or else call for help. Stupid thing. I should have figured that 'guaranteed updates for life' would come with a worm on its hook.
