If you wait long enough it'll show up

Well for the longest time I always figured when I retired I would always look from my dream Retirement job. 

It had to fit some of the criteria is that I had in mind of the time

It had to be a simple job

didn't require a lot of education 

As well as a no think I'm job

It could not  be a strenuous job

It had to be inside

And it had to be part time

And they had to pay me

And at least $.25 over minimum wage

It also had to be a job where I could mingle with people

Well that job would have been none other then a Walmart greeter at the door

It would've gone something like this 

                                 hi welcome to Walmart thank you for shopping with us today

Well there there's a glitch in the Walmarts system about two years ago they phase that out 

So now Walmart has no door greeters,,,,, bummer what am I to do

Well today I finally found the perfect solution

            Walmart now has what they call a cashier pointer 

                                     what a wonderful novel concept that fantastic

And it fits right in with all the criteria is that I wanted.      Now I just have to figure out where to sign up

I could just picture myself doing this wonderful job in my retirement years

It goes something like this

Hi,,,no waiting,,cashier,,,this way,,,thank you for shopping at Walmart,,,,,,,,,,,,,enjoy your day

Do you know how I know that this is a wonderful job look at the smile on the cashiers pointers face tell you how much he loves his job so there is hope for me after all

And to top it off I can get exercise walking up and down the aisles helping all the Walmart shoppers

So you see there is a silver lining in retirement,,, 

                                                                      ,,,,, you just need to know where to look,,,,,

Just another rainy day

Sometimes things are just pointless

Well I finally think I monsoons are here now I'm already tired of the rain 

I know where the Midwest was getting all the rain and now we're getting it I wish you would stop my lawn guys complaining about the two strips he has to cut

Plus with the lighting I can't go fly my kite

It's got to be older than dirt

I saw this today at Ross Myers Harley-Davidson dealership no I'm not going to buy one

I just thought it was pretty interesting

All I know it has a sidecar I don't know what year it is other than old probably older than I am that's old

Bale me 2

                     saw this and I thought I was cool.    I only wish I was the photographer

Off-line mapping app,s

Sometime back you asked about  maps for GPS specifically for your iphone

The key to getting an GPS off line map one that specifically follows you and updates as you move some do some do not that's where the problem lie so you basically have to test 2   4 or 4 or different kinds as long as they're free you don't mind uploading and you can always delete them

But first I had a 2004 Ford F350 that had in dash  navigation system,, It worked fine 90% of the time so after selling the pick up truck I bought a Chevrolet avalanche that has no room for in dash navigation system  unless I went with a pop-up but there's been too many problems with those in the wire mechanism and I'm not crazy about the standalone GPS navigation systems out there by the time you figure it out you're going to spend $150 to $250 for one that will work with me that has trucker input and there again it is a small unit and it only does one thing ,,,,,,,,so I went a different route,,,,,,

The other day I went to a pawnshop  (i'm a big fan of pawnshops )and I picked up a used galaxy tablet three out the door with bargaining I paid $90 for it now this tablet has all the bells and whistles and toys along with Wi-Fi Bluetooth it does everything that my iPad does except I run Android on this tablet. And my LG phone is also an android

Now if you do a search for offline GPS navigation you'll come up with several free apps just make sure you read the reviews as to their limitations

Just a quick reminder The apps that I'm talking about is for an android but you could also do the same kind of search under Apple app,s for an iPhone or an iPad lot of free ones

After downloading 3 or 4  apps I finally came down with one.    Sygic.com

But you also have Google map,, mapQuest off-line,,   Here...

The one that I downloaded was free but it has a paid feature called premium that is $20 at this time I didn't get it that feature is a heads up display

So after charging the tablet and uploading the app,   I went for a ride

And this was my results  so far I am more than pleased

One other little note the stand that the tablet sits on is in a cup holder and very very secure 

And it swivels  and it locked my tablet very secure  it's eBay item for $34 free shipping

I'm not a fan of putting my credit card on the Internet to buy an app so I basically use PayPal so if you have a PayPal account all that much better to buy something

$90 is about the going price for a tablet here in The pawnshops inFlorida

But it beats buying a new one in case somebody steals this unit but then again I have tracker on it so I know exactly where it is and I feel sorry for you

If you think you're so smart

Thank goodness for a class 1V trailer hitch

Some times people do get a little upset

I sure hope that wasn't the beginning of his vacation

This wouldn't have happened if the engine was in the front

I think I can,,I think I can,,  I think I can,,,,,, come on Big guy

Don't laugh Eagles can go anywhere       Or we can blast you 

It A yuppie high-rise

Don't need no damn thousand trails or  passport America I camp where I want 

As long as it's got a water view
