Disappearing Snoods

I thought I had a loads of snoods, the Suzuki one, the two Bike-it, my orange one.  Now I can only find the orange one.  I might have to break open the Harley Davidson one!  I check the most likely places including coat pockets! Where are you!!!

Closing Down Sales II

I went to another Factory shop.  It is later in their closing down sale, so although some signs are still not right, they were all heavily marked down.  I did bag a few bargains.  I am looking forward to my chocolates!

Fiesta Maps Update

I finally got a big memory stick for updating the maps.  I read the instructions, it was going to take forever to update.  I was not going to leave the car running on idle just to update the computer.  So after a job, with a long drive home, I start the update.  It was supposed to have a break after 30 minutes, except it didn't come soon enough, so I skipped lunch and drove on.

It flashed at me a few times, I drove all the way back home, and it still wasn't done, do I use the drive-thru and got some lunch.  Just as I was finishing lunch, finally, it did it! 

I will check it every 6 months to see if there are any updates, meanwhile, it was hard work!

Empty Pumps

Fuel situation has not been great.  I saw a very good price pump, but I missed it, as it wasn't too empty.  Then I went back that direction another day, the price was still good, I pulled in, all the diesel pumps were out of service...  They really should just turn the sign off...

Menu Contraction

We went to a popular Japanese restaurant.  The Japanese portion of the menu is quite small, and they added other crowd pleasers.  Business need to do what they need to go.

Twisted Long Island Iced Tea

I was tempted with the happy hours offer.  After being told their frozen margaritas are not frozen, I went for the long island iced tea.

It was Las Iguanas, the menu had not purposefully highlight the Latin twist on the classic.  The drink was indeed in the "classic" section.  When it arrived, I tasted it, they tasted funny, I looked at the menu to see, they used spiced rum rather than white rum.  The second glass had a little less spiced rum.

Either way, I finished both, but I may stick with margaritas on rocks next time.

Japanese Bluetooth Earphone

I finally opened the new earphone from Japan.  The instruction were completely in Japanese, but they were quite standard.  Apart they don't sit snug in my ears, the battery life and sound quality were good.
