When home it is real easy, when traveling it is a little different. I hardly ever dial in at home, we have a TV screen that is constantly on, picture rotates when something moves in the yard. I have 13 of the 16 cameras hooked up, need to finish up now that we are back. Just one in the house watching the door, only on when we are not home. Don't care to be filmed sitting here.........might forget to put clothes on............lmao.
We have nothing but comcast here, unless we did the huges net, which a lot of people don't like. No other internet offering out here. Serious lack of competition. Not enough homes for a competitor to even want to run in lines.

Do you have the q-see cameras Sissy? those are the ones I am using. I have some cloud storage, just never use it.


Our freezing rain, winter mix, prediction turned out to be .70 inches of rain, it is 32 degrees out there right now, so roads are probably freezing up.
Still glad we headed home early, three days lol, it could easily have been 5-10 inches of snow, all the cold had to do was drift down a tiny bit.

I took out the q see and put them at the other house and put in new cameras and I don't have any cameras inside to easy for hackers to get into any camera these days .Even covered my camera for my puter because I saw on 60 minutes how easy it is for them to hack cameras .I bought newer ones with higher definition and more night vision then the Q-see ones and I hooked them up to an indoor monitor ..Plus they are lots smaller .I gave up on the Q-see the video was not as clear as they said and night vision was also not as good .I took a pic of my monitor inside at night .Not a great pic but it gives an idea

We just got gas for $1.99! saw some in georgia for $1.89.
We were shocked to get it that cheap here in MD.

Darn cold here, wind chill is down below 20 all day. Right now 24, think the high was 27 or so.

Springs right around the corner....somewhere!!

I hope so, I can't wait to see these colors again. I'm trying not to think how long it will actually be before flowers bloom. Once we get to March I think I'll be ok, but being in the dead of winter is rough!

We're in the $1.80s here. Its so odd that its so low...Though I have a feeling the money saved on gas now will eventually be spent on gas when it skyrockets back up.

well redesigned the bench to satisfy hubby and chi.s Full back so chi's get on table cannot fall off the back seat goes all the way under for chi's safety .Table higher so hubby can put a cushion on the seat and not sit higher than the table ,seats wider ,armrests wider and have to round the armrests off .He came down to try it out and now he is happy now I can finish putting boards on .I will make a small cushion for under the table for chi. hideaway .Have to fill in the gap yet in the back with a smaller board .What I do to make a hubby happy and 2 little chi's

That's great what you build, Sissy. You always do such quality work. I am very envious!
Temps were only up to about 23 today, but lots of wind, so felt much colder. But, going up from here, and I am seeing 40's and even 50 on Sat. coming up! That will feel like a heat wave, may not even need a coat. LOL As I have said before, I can handle 15 degrees, as long as it's sunny out, and no winds.
JB, I'm right there with you, thinking about spring and pretty flowers! Thanks for posting the colors for us. I sure enjoy seeing them ... even if they are not here yet in our gardens and ponds. :)
