No bars in more places

Yep, that should be AT&T's new slogan. When I got to Greenville I wanted to call Karen and let her know I had made it there safely I was surprised to see that I had no bars at all on my cell phone. Now we had always had cell service on her property so it was a little surprising that now there was none. There was a little new snow on the mountains so maybe that could account for it but still it was a little disconcerting not to be able to make a call. I walked around the property thinking maybe I was in a dead spot but to no avail. In desperation I restarted my phone and got one bar and I was able to talk for a short time but after that the service was terrible and kept dropping my calls so I got frustrated and gave up.

Ya just gotta love that advertising campaign that AT&T has, unfortunately that's all it is and it's really not true in reality and their service really sucks instead. Go AT&T... to you know where, that is!

On the road again

Woke up this morning at Tracey's to rain pouring down. I guess that's preferable to snow falling so it's ok with me but I'm hoping that when I get back to the mountains later today I won't be seeing too much of the white stuff there. I'm going down through Napa to visit Bill for a short time before heading back to Greenville and since I have never been down that way it will be a new drive for me.

Tomorrow I have another long drive in store for me, back to Idaho and that one is a route I know well. As much as I have enjoyed my trip out here I can't wait to get back to see my beautiful lady and as she wraps up the end of tax season we have plenty of free time in our future. Ya gotta love that!
