This is the weather for the next few days, looks like summer is almost here.

Rock River Flow Gauge
I’m going to try and use today’s post as the place I will update my “Rock River Flow Gauge”.  Hopefully I will be able to keep adding to the pictures on this page.  Oh yes, I first have to remember to take a picture of the rock each day.

This is the official Madison River Flow gauge.

This is not the best picture but it is a picture.  I didn’t want to loose my phone in the river and I don’t want to keep this fish out of the water for very long. I’m just not very good at taking Iphone pictures with one hand. Got this fish on Tuesday.

(Discussed this fish yesterday and today but I was really really pleased to get it to the net)

Just a nice cloud picture.

Forgot to edit the extra stuff off this picture and I’m not going to go back and do it again. I have learned that I should put the pictures into the post from my phone and than go to the Chromebook and put in the text.

Palisades BLM Campground, Montana – Tuesday June 4, 2024

Had a good day fishing today, this is the only fish I even hooked today however it was a nice fish and happy to be let free.  

This is not the best picture but it is a picture.  I didn’t want to loose my phone in the river and I don’t want to keep this fish out of the water for very long. I am just not very good taking Iphone pictures with one hand.

I am currently writing the text in Google Docs, opening the website in Chromebook, creating the post, pasteing in the text and space for the pictures, publishing the post, open the post on Iphone and then uploading the pictures and updating the post.

Chromebooks don’t have a “Delete Key” what’s up with that.  I have been looking at some YouTube videos about Chromebooks.  Remember I bought this Chromebook to display fly tying videos and know I’m starting to use it for blog posts.  

Here is Marley in one of his favorite positions.  

Our current plan is to hang around this area until we need to be in the Tri-Cities.  We have reservations at Plymouth Park at John Day Dam starting Tuesday June 25, 2024.

Thought I would look at some Utube videos on how to use a chromebook.  The first title I found was for 2023/24 machines was 2023 Chromebook Tips and Tricks : Unlock the full potential of your device. 

Was by “Tech for Senior’s”  Ouch, that kind of hurt.  Who’s a senior around here?

I went fishing today.  Walked up to just above the boat ramp and worked my way back to camp.  Had a good time, one fish on and none to the net, so today was fishing and not catching.

I’m going to have to spend some time figuring out how to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad on this Chromebook. My thumbs keep hitting the touchpad and moving the cursor around the screen.  

The weather was OK today, about 68 and I only got caught by one thunder shower. Tomorrow (Monday) is supposed to be the worst day for a while with 10 degrees cooler temperatures and rain.    

My current plan is to use this rock for my river flow gauge while at Palisades.

Yesterday I had a good day fishing just above the boat ramp. Had two fish on and nothing to the net. Got several miles of walking in and enjoyed the sunshine and very little wind.

Overall it was a great birthday and looking forward to next year’s as well.

This is an edit from the Chromebook I bought to use for fly tying videos. I mostly just wanted to know that I could do it. So, now I am officially using window os, apple iphone os and Chromebook os to create this website/blog with WordPress via Starlink satelites.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d lke to do
Is to save every day
‘Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seem to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how
They were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do,
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enought to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

Still working at relearning how to post to my blog at harrylange.com. It has been a long time and now I am adding a Chromebook to the mix of operating systems I am using. I bought a Chromebook to be able to carry fly tying videos when we are traveling in a small compact screen. I looked at an Ipad Pro (the new one) with 2Tb of storage and it was just to much money for tying flies.

So lets see if I can use Windows OS, Iphone OS, and Chrome OS and end up with posts about our travels.

Picture of our campsite.

After I write this on the Chromebook I will publish it and then go to my Iphone and put the picture or pictures into the post.

The snow is gone, at least in the campground and the wind is blowing. Still it was a good day.
I’m now learning to type on a Chromebook keyboard. At least I have figured out how to get into my website and get emails sent to harry@harrylange.com. I don’t know why however this keyboard feels a lot different from the Del keyboards I have been typing on for the last 10 years. The keys are really slippery and I am missing the correct key more often, Oh I just figured it out. One of my thumbs is touching the “Touch Pad” and thus moving the cursor around. Think I’ll start writing in Google Docs and then paste into this Blog. We’ll see how that goes. I have been a Microsoft Word person for so long it will just be another thing to learn.

This is where we are camped for a couple of weeks.

We had some snow and it is just us and the campground host.

I will hopefully add a picture of the campground host’s coach from my phone after I publish this from my laptop. Writting this on 5/29/2024 and I also need to get this to post to 5/23/24.

This morning we woke to wind and a winter weather advisory for tonight thru Thursday evening.

I am currently working on a work flow process of posting text to the blog from my laptop and then adding pictures from my phone. On the phone I’ll need to down size to pictures to save space and improve download speeds. I also need to relearn how to use WordPress to publish to my website harrylange.com. It has been a while and what I knew I’ve forgotten and WordPress has made many changes since I last posted to this blog.
