I spent most of the day updating various computers.  One thing you can say for Microsoft is when they issue updates for their operating systems they really issue updates.  On multiple computers it can become an all day process.  When combined with the time I spent updating our GPS units, I did very little else for the last couple of days.

Linda had a noon appointment to get her hair cut and then headed to Ann Arbor to babysit our grand-daughter.  One of my planned chores for today was to wash the bus.  It was very cool all morning and was still cool by mid-afternoon, but as warm as it was going to get.  I forced a regeneration of our water softener to make sure it would be able to keep up with the washing.  I mixed a 4 oz bottle of SUDS that we got as a sample from a vendor at the FMCA rally with a couple of gallons of water.  I hosed off a small section of the rig, applied the SUBS solution with a soft brush, and rinsed it off.  It took a couple of hours to do the whole coach, but its parking spot in front of the house is shaded.  Between the softened water and the shade I did not have any issues with water spotting.

Tomorrow is our daughter-in-law’s birthday, so I drove down to their house.  I got there around 6:30 PM, just in time to see our grand-daughter before she went to bed for the evening.  She is almost 8 months old, and was very tired from playing with her grandmother all afternoon.  Our son picked up vegan Indian food for dinner.  We had a delicious meal and great conversation with the big people, a lovely evening all-in-all.

Back home we were getting ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep when were heard coyotes howling, the first time since we moved to the new house.  That’s something we never experienced in the suburbs.  It was a bit eerie, but it was a thrill.
