Update for December

We got the DTVPal converter box that we ordered last month on Dec. 2 & hooked it up. We were happy to see how clear the reception of the local channels was - it worked fine for about 20 minutes & then nothing. The power light was on but we had no reception - we couldn't even turn it off with the remote. I called the phone # on my order & was told they would send out a new converter box. I was given a RA# & was told they probably wouldn't want the defective box back (we're keeping it anyway). We're still waiting for the replacement - after 2 more calls I'm told that it is on backorder.

We went out to eat for Thanksgiving & was seated next to Al (a friend & flight instructor that Mike had worked with) & his family. We had a good time catching up on each other's news.

On Dec. 15 we ordered & downloaded the e-book "RVing Alaska" by Joe & Vicki Kieva & ordered their DVDs "RVing Alaska: What to Expect: How to Prepare" & "Alaska: RV Adventure of a Lifetime" - since we're planning our trip to Alaska in 2009.

Instead of going out for Christmas dinner, I've decided to cook a turkey breast in the crockpot - I did one earlier this year & it turned out great.
