So much to do...
There's so much to do. So hard to get it all done.
One of the things I'm getting better at is drinking coffee in the morning. This helps me to get moving instead of just surfing the internet and watching the libtard criminals in DC slowly go down the drain.
So, getting up, making coffee helps me to get going in the morning. Who knew?
I need to be doing a daily ride to check out all of my gear. Yesterday I never even went outside.
Today, this is what I will get done:
Call Seterus.
X Contact Alan the roofer. Sent him an email in reply to his estimate.
X Returned broken camera lens. Shipped this via FedEx today. FedEx tracking #788226216019.
Copy files off of GoPro's.
Order AT brackets for Givi case.
X Pick up new tires.
X See if the tires can be carried on the bike.It's possible, but I think I'll just change them out here.
Test cigarette lighter on bike.
Mount gas can on bike.
Copy files off of iphone.
Fix Garmin Montana so that it shows miles to next turn or replace it.
I'm trying to look at the Garmin Montana 600 and figure out how to tell it if I'm a hiker or on the interstate in a Tahoe. I remember that there's a setting in here that allows you to do this. I had a problem with this when I was riding on another adventure. Hmmmm.
Here's the Garmin Montana owner's manual.

Profile change.
Selecting a Profile
When you change activities, you can change the setup of the device by changing the profile.
Select Profile Change.
Select a profile.
Current Profile is Recreational.
I'm going to select a different profile. Let's go with "Automotive". They also have one for "Motorcycle". I'm going to stay away from that one.
But now, this is horrible. It doesn't lock North up any more. Christ. "Motorcycle" is no better. The only thing that I notice now is that there is a scale in the top right corner, but I can't see it due to my vision being so poor. I think I need a magnifying glass on top of this silly thing.
So, I'll go to walmart and see if they have any magnifying glasses I guess.
Walmart had magnifying glasses, but just the standard ones. Not like what I'm looking for.
Returned the lens.
Now, I need to tell the idiot that I returned the lens.
Shipped it FedEx Standard Overnight
Tracking#: 788226216019
Updated the link on ebay.

Now, I need to find the bill of sales with the correct VIN:
My first BIll of Sale shows the VIN as: JH2SD04G1HK001007.
However, the VIN on the bike is: JH2SD04G4HK001017.
OK. I found my new bill of sales with the correct VIN. That should help.
Also, I found my Insurance cards in the mail. So, I put those in my wallet.
Not that they really matter so much. They're useless once I leave the USA.
I started a folder with these documents in it.
Once I collect all of my documents, I will make copies of everything so that the border crossings are easier. So, I'll make copies of the following documents for the folder:
Documents to copy
Passport
Driver's License
Registration
Bill of Sale
I went online to Amazon and ordered a plastic magnifying lens when I'll cut to size and place on top of the Garmin Montana.
I also ordered a new wallet.
I also ordered my 66" boot/shoe laces.
Now, I'll copy my files off of the iPhone onto the MacBook Air. Let's see how this goes...
Hmmm. Seems like I lost my post about copying the files off of the iPhone onto the MacBook air. OK. Well, what I did was I hooked my iPhone up to the MacBook Air. Then, it copied them all into iPhoto (Photos). Then, I found some directions on the internet that talked about how to delete the photos from the iPhone.
https://www.macworld.com/article/2865831/photography/how-to-bulk-delete-images-from-your-iphone.html
In a nutshell, you turn off PhotoStream on your iphone, and then launch Image Capture. Image Capture allows you to import all of your photos and then delete them all off of your cell phone pretty easily.
So, once I had all of the photos from my iPhone loaded into the MacBook Air, then I just marked the ones I wanted to keep as favorites, and deleted the rest of them. The ones I wanted to keep, I exported to the Seagate external drive, and then imported them from the Seagate drive onto the S drive of my home network.
So, these are the photos that I moved off of the iPhone 4S, onto the Macbook Air, then on to the Seagate external drive, then onto the Simon drive of the home network.
All of the iPhone 4s photos (4,530) were copied to this folder:
S:\_2017\iphone_4s_10_26_2017
This favorites folder from the iPhone 4S has 144 photos in it. S:\_2017\iphone_4s_10_26_2017\favorites
Then, I deleted these same photos from the MacBook Air. Deleted them and then emptied the recycle bin. So, they're not on the iPhone 4S any more. And they're not on the MacBook Air any more. And I deleted them from the Seagate drive. Now, they're only on the s: drive at S:\_2017\iphone_4s_10_26_2017.
