Our friends Jim & Chris were speaking at the FMCA Rally. So on Tuesday we went over to see them and tour the exhibits. Wow! The fairgrounds were crowded. We don't go to many rallies, so the last time we saw this many RVs in one place was at the Life On Wheels in Moscow, ID.
The first booth we visited was Motosat - to talk about the issues we've been having with our Datastorm Satellite Dish. Even that day, we could not access any secure sites (again), so we ended up working at the Redmond Library. After talking with Maurice at Motosat we are going to try switching satellites again. I'm not expecting life with technology to be perfect, but the frequency of our problems have just been too much for us. Jim, who installed our dish for us, even came over last night to check our equipment to see if there were any setting issues on our side. But everything looks good here, so hopefully switching satellites will help us.
We also had to visit some of the awning booths. Our four-year old vinyl awnings are beginning to show their age. While Andy was washing the RV the other day he almost pushed the brush through a part of the awning that has dried out. Yikes! This will be an expense.
After touring the Rally we went out to dinner with Jim and Chris and then had them over to our place. We really wanted to show off "our" canyon. And I'm glad Jim looked at our computers and setup - it's given me some peace of mind that there is nothing glaring on our side.
