Sometimes things get so damn hard!!

So, I wake up at 06:30A and lo and behold the three lights on my old 2Wire DSL modem are ....out. It's possible the actual modem shite the bed, but more probably that the power supply/converter went South. Anyway, it's off to Wal-mart and you KNOW they don't sell modems as they are provided by the ISP's..so it's off to Staples. In Staples they had a Netgear router with a built in modem, and it was up to the N (the old router was a G) so that was the purchase. From there it went downhill...the supplied Wizard CD did NOT get me up and running, and it took two hours of quality time with a very NICE man in India to get my configurations right so everything talked to each other. Not a GREAT way to start the day, but hey....everything is now working, the wife and daughter and I-phone's are wirelessly connected at a higher speed....things could be worst!

Seaport Sams Brooklyn Fairgrounds August 12-15, 2010



Our Seaport Sams Camping Club brought 28 rigs to the Brooklyn Fairgrounds for our August 2010 club campout. This included four "guest rigs-families" from the Quinabaug Travelers Camping Club. Our potluck on Saturday featured BBQ chicken expertly prepared by Club members who belong to the Mortlake FD. Club member John Zurowski, who died in February 0f 2010, had planning on being the Chairperson for this new BBQ event, and his friends in the Club (which include Butch Brodeur, Mike Breen and Lennie Albie plus others) and Mortlake FD members "made it happen" in his memory. God Bless! Click the title link for a Picasa public web-album from this event.
