iOS 16: Will You Give Me My Desires? #ios16 #apple #iphone

We’ve already had an Apple event this year with several hardware devices released. Maybe there was something for you at that event? Today though I’m more interested in software, specifically iOS 16. I can’t wait to see what it brings. Will we get some of the changes I hope to see. Maps First up is Maps. Apple Maps is really a pretty solid map app. I personally prefer it over most other maps,…

Random Review: ESR Magnetic Case for AirPods Pro

Random Review: ESR Magnetic Case for AirPods Pro #AirPodsPro #apple #ESR # case #MagSafe

Among the the other nicely wrapped presents I received this Christmas was a small box. Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw it was AirPods Pro! I had wanted a pair for quite some time but could not bring myself to spurge on them just yet. Due to a bit of irony it seems they had been purchased before the refresh or perhaps on sale old stock, so it wasn’t the refresh with MagSafe. Now I’m not…

An Empty House

An Empty House Find out why it’s empty #Haiti #gang #mountain

The house was full. A few of the people were the occupants. Some were first time visitors. Many had been there before. For the ones leaving to go back to the States the question was how.

A Rainy Season

After nearly 200 days in space Crew-2 and their Dragon have splashed down. Unfortunately they had to depart the International Space Station before replacements could arrive. This was due to a number of scrubbed launches, some of which were weather related. Talking about weather, has this fall ever been a rainy one! There have been few sunny days the last couple of months. That combined with the…

Up and Running

What you don’t have in your head you gotta have in your heels. This, or something similar, is something my grandpa used to say. As it turns out it must be true. In the case I’m referring to now is unfortunately the ambulance. While we had everything back together and it appeared to work fine, when we had put it together we noticed a small part we didn’t know where it belonged. After a couple…

Moment of Truth

Moment of Truth #ambulance #tw #tw200 #yamaha

The rush back and forth will fatigue you. And then the loud roar of the moto with a burned out muffler comes up. No it’s not a neighbor, this time it’s me. How did I end up with such a noisy TW?

Get caught up with #life on the #mountain. #Haiti

And so it goes The last couple of weeks have been a bit weird and different than expected but at the same time not really that much to write about. It’s now been a month since we tore into the ambulance transmission and somehow every time my brother in law thinks it will work to get it back together something else comes up and it just doesn’t get done. As mentioned when we took it apart, he…

A Sad Weekend for Haiti

A Sad Weekend for Haiti #earthquake #haiti #naturaldisaster

Leading Up My weekend started a bit earlier than normal with a phone call waking me up just before 3:00 AM. There’s only one thing that means. Yep, somebody needed a ride down to a hospital. So as soon as I could get around we were on the way bouncing down the mountain, me listing to wails and complains of pain as the mom told her daughter to “be quiet, we’ll be down soon enough.” Anyway soon…

Mountain Life

Mountain Life A few #random happening up on the mountain #mountain #mountainlife

Battery Power Living essentially off grid, what grid?, means the sole source of power is solar. And actually we have a pretty decent setup with not too high of demand. Up in the mountains there’s not any need for air conditioning with pleasant climate, despite being in the tropics. If you are interested in seeing how awesome the weather is here you can check in on my weather station here. But…
