Today was mostly cloudy despite being above 80 F. We are back to running temps that are 10 degrees above the norm. The wind was from the East compared to the normal Westerly direction.
This was an RV day.
Charlotte worked on here quilt. It will be close to being finished by this evening.
I upgraded the computer to Windows 8 previously; however. uninstalled and went back to the original Windows 7 because it did not work with a few older programs. I also did not like the new interface. Many users do not.
I re-installed today because I had to register a freebie from Microsoft by Jan. 31 (or in the future possibly have to pay for the program). This was a day long chore due to the slow Wi-Fi (compared to high speed cable at home). It took more than 12 hours to install and download the updates. What a pain!
While waiting for the downloads I went down to "The Hearth" (the closest clubhouse to the RV) to sign up for the trip to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino (Tampa, FL). The $20 fee (each) gets a bus ride with $25 in casino play credits and a $5 food voucher. It should be fun.
Charlotte made popcorn for a TV watching treat using her Christmas Present - the Wabash Valley Whirley-Pop. Liz and Kat each got one too - we like the traditional style. Instead of having to continuously shake a pot on the stove you just hold the handle and turn the crank. The microwave is quicker - this traditional method is tastier.
The Whirley-Pop also makes it easier. We had a pot full in no time. Using the prescribed measurements of popcorn and oil it only slightly lifted the lid when done. The crank stirs the bottom allowing the kernels to stay on the bottom and pop while keeping the popped kernels from burning. It worked really well. Perfect popcorn in just a few minutes.
It was an odds and ends TV night. We then watched Jay Leno's "Headlines" in bed with the sleep timer on.
