Great food and slots..

Memere made as many michigans as we could eat and Colby watched Alex as we went to the little Indian casino (they call themselves Indians in this place) to play a little slots. We didn’t have much money to spend but we blew $20 and had fun. It’s just a room with 30 slot machines next to a big bingo hall. I think I’ve talked about it before but this blog is pretty empty right now. I have no idea what we’re doing tomorrow but the weather is supposed to get progressively better while we’re here and even better after we leave. We’ll go from mid 30’s to mid 50’s while we’re here. It’s getting late. Time for bed.

We’re here.. Long but fun trip..

After the gas station in Round Lake or Burnt Hills we drove almost all the way here and stopped in Elizabethtown at a rest stop. Guess what we have a lot of here. Snow! Back at home it’s all long gone but here there’s a few inches on the ground and it’s coming down now. At that rest area my Mom and I had a snowball fight and everyone went to the bathroom. We got here maybe 10 mins ago (6 or so). I’m getting settled in and dropping our stuff and I decided to post real quick. Memere is making michigans right now. If you don’t know, they’re like chili dogs but unique to this area (called the North Country). Time to go for now. I’ll possibly write more later.

Stopping in Round Lake, NY

Grabbed some snacks and Mom had to pee like crazy. She kept smelling beef jerky in that Citgo store. This exit off I-87 was called Round Lake/ Burnt Hills. Very descriptive place. Mom’s just about done with her scratch tickets. Gotta go. More blogging from the road later.

Just about ready to take off..

We’re at my Mom’s house now and we should be leaving soon. Deb and I went to sleep around 2 and woke up at 7. We got here a little before 9. We went to get an oil change for the car and picked up a few goodies for the ride. I’m posting from my phone on the mobile app so no categories right now. I wanted to try it out before going to NY where there is no broadband. That is one thing you take for granted and really miss when you don’t have it. I guess it’s a good thing because I can focus more on visiting and less on using a computer. This little trip will be a good thing for my stress level. It’s been a high lately. I’ll post more later (on a stop in NY?).

Trip to NY later today.. WordPress..

In a few (maybe more?) hours we’re going to my Mom’s house and driving to Upstate NY. We’re going to spend the weekend up there and come back on Monday. The original thought was that we’d get the dog on Monday and I’d have a few days to spend with him before going back to work. We went to visit the dog this past Monday and he was much smaller than I expected. It may be a week longer than we planned so maybe we’ll stay late on Monday? Don’t know yet. Either way I have until (but not including) Thursday the 10th off. I need the time off because I’m feeling the crunch.

I watched a little web video on my computer (I subscribe to free video shows) and it talked about WordPress, which I’ve used before on my web server. I went and did a little research on their site about their latest version and came across the free hosting. It is surprisingly really full featured. Everything you could ever ask for is there, including password protected posts that can each have their own password. This is the best feature by far. I’ve been looking at doing just this for a while. I’m going to take a little bit tonight to customize things and probably post from my phone while on the trip to NY. more posts may follow tonight.

A new idea..

This is a new blog I’m trying. I’m going to eventually move to my own server. For now I will re-direct. I hope you like it.
