What a delightful thing to do with your dad. It's interesting how they combined the necessity of postal service with the charm of a boat cruise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieJo Posted December 4, 2023 #109728 Share Posted December 4, 2023 @aussielozzie18 What a fun outing you had with your dad. It has me thinking if the post river boat in our area offers something similar. We are very close to the Detroit River which runs between Detroit, Michigan USA and Windsor, Ontario Canada. This river is used mostly by freighters. However, I know there is a postal boat that delivers the mail to the freighters as they pass through the river. I’m going to have to do some investigating. Thanks for the wonderful photos. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to stay away from Bombay Belly too. Bali was very polite in comparison to the other one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it on FB too. Loved his shows too. From following him on FB he had been fighting cancer for a few years.

I switched to them from Verizon last year and I'm only paying ~$35/month including fees and taxes. (I don't use a lot of data, as I have wifi at home and at work, so that plan works well for me.) Looking at it now, we would probably need Simply Unlimited for 2 phones ($80 per month). Paying extra $10 per GB for data in Flexible plan would really jack up our cost per month. What does 5 GB of hotspot tethering mean? Looks like Google Fi uses Tmobile towers. Edited December 4, 2023 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the wonderful photos. You are 100% correct. Here is a quick video about it. I got into watching some of their videos a few years ago. Here is a longer video if interested. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying extra $10 per GB for data in Flexible plan would really jack up our cost per month. What does 5 GB of hotspot tethering mean? Looks like Google Fi uses Tmobile towers. The plan you choose really depends on how you use it. Like I said, I have minimal data usage because most of the time I'm on wifi. I was really impressed with the fact that they prorate the data -- I figured you'd have to pay $10 for each partial GB used, but if I only use .66GB, they charge me $6.60. The most I've used so far has been 2.25GB in one month, and that was when I traveled to AL for my family reunion, so I was using cellular data a lot more while I was down there. My bill that month was $47.13. Most of the rest have been $31-$33 per month. Tethering is when you use your phone as the wifi for another device, like a laptop or tablet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved Matt Yee and spent some time with him. Our friends spent more time with him and his partner. That is very sad. He was such a great guy, and so funny, friendly and entertaining. He will be sorely missed. One of the best Schooner Bar and comedy show entertainers ever! 😌 That’s sad. I don’t think I ever had the opportunity to hear him. I would have liked to to see him play and sing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
