It works!

We hooked up with Dr. Hollinger and little Miss Emmie, our princess, this evening on Yahoo Messanger, and wow is all we can say. The video was terrific, and the voice conversation was good. We had a bit of a delay in our voice getting to them as our upload speed is only 25% of our download speed, however the conversation was great. Thanks Shawn for taking the time to hook up with us tonight. It was good to see Emmie again, and Mom and I are thrilled at the performance of our satelite internet system. Armand from Tech Mobile Communications in Lindsay, Ont. came through for us. Thanks Armand. Don't worry, we will tell all our friends about you as our travels start!

Time to call it a night!

Testing....Testing.....Testing

Hi All:

Today is a test.... I have set up our account for our satelite internet, and got it up and running this afternoon. All is good. The speed is reasonable, a bit slower on the upload as it is a long way up to the satelite ya know, and then back to earth.... I uploaded a couple pics of our little princess, one when she is young and one from Kristina's wedding to see how long it took to upload. Not too bad, considering we will be retired and have all day to do this stuff.... All I want to do now is test skype and hopefully will be able to hook up with Dr. Hollinger later tonight and see how that works.

Yes, we are getting closer, another big step today!

Mens night at the Sands

My good friend David Reid (also known as the guy who sold our home... :-) ) invited me out to Mens Night at Muskoka Sands tonight. It turned out to be a beautiful night on the course and I had the pleasure to golf with his Brother Brent and their Dad. I totally enjoyed! The best part was on hole #2 when David sunk a put for an EAGLE 2 on a par 4 hole. David also won the longest put for that same hole.

All in all a great night which I enjoyed! Thanks David, we will have to hit the links again soon!
