Hello! Hey, the weekend is here! Yippee! Today was a simple day and I don’t have much to report except that we are loving the new tire pressure monitoring system so far (keyword: so far). I want to fool around with it a little bit more tomorrow to see what else I can get out of it, but so far so good. This thing (and I’ll have to get the make and model for you tomorrow), but this thing is 1) user friendly, 2) tells you the tire pressure AND the temperature of the tire, and 3) has a back up battery with an automatic back light for those dark moments!!! Oh, and 4) it took me less than 5 minutes to set up and the monitor is so light that it comes with a clip that locks the monitor to your dashboard vent! I will complete my reviews of these two tire pressure monitoring systems soon. But, like I said, I want to fiddle with it a little more tomorrow too.
So, we test drove the tire pressure monitoring system today by going to my second home – Barnes and Nobles! On our way to Barnes and Nobles which is 10 miles away and mostly highway and I can see on the tire pressure monitoring system that as the temperature on rear tires on the pickup rose, the tire pressure went up 2psi. Not bad for accuracy. This system comes with 6 sensors, we put 4 on the Montana and two on the rear tires of the pickup. And this is not one of those that if your tire pressure drops a certain “percentage” (if you lose 12% of your tire pressure the alarm will go off like the first one we bought that we returned), this particular one we have now you set a specific psi amount (like 65 psi) and if it drops below that number the alarm will buzz. Two entirely different gadgets that does the same thing in two entirely different ways. Anyways, more about that later….
So, we went to Barnes and Nobles which I can get lost in there for hours easily and I bought four books to keep me from clawing at my laptop because of the bad internet signal we have at this RV park. Speaking of claws….Jake’s face is healing super nicely. Poor guy had only one bad dream since the clawing incident with the cat next door. He’s doing great though. It’s been chilly the last few days and it’s suppose to be cold out tomorrow but after that it should get back up into the 70’s again and I’m looking forward to putting Jake in the basket on the front of the bicycle for a spin around the RV park and go over to Dunkin Donuts across the street! (I just re-read that run-on sentence! Ha! I’m not fixing it!)
Soooo, tonight we ate dinner at Denny’s across the street here. Ha! When you live on US-192 everything “right across the street”. It was good. Predictable food, predictable service, and predictable prices! Now, I’m watching the Olympics and relaxing on the couch with Jake. Have a great night and have a super weekend. Stay warm to my friends and family in New England, I did hear about the 65 mph winds and the lengthy power outages. You are on my mind!
