Amazon Kindle Fire

I really like my Kindle Fire-HD (2012 version), it's 1 centimeter longer and wider than my E-Reader Kindle.

Battery life is around 8 hours. (with Wifi off). Internal 16Gb memory. front camera, HDMI out.
I bought the 2012 version. The 2013 version has no camera nor HDMI
Like the E-reader I can read books on it (indoors only). But it can do a lot more.
Play videos in HD, music.
Internet, fast enough to use Skype. And email.
It has the best speakers of any computer device that I own!

A lot of wind blowing from the east, but on the west side of the trailer I can relax in the sun...

I bought a refurbished Amazon Kindle Fire. 

Ina is in China, on a 3 week tour, with limited wifi access and a cell phone to make pictures. So, I'll be posting for her.

I coated the outside of the chicken with a mixture of olive oil, garlic salt, crushed black pepper, rosemary and curry.

Last week I had an ultrasound to determine if the thrombose in my right leg is gone. The clinic doctor called me last Friday to tell me that it is gone. Good news!
I'm on a payment plan with the hospital for last year emergency room treatment and ultrasound. In April I get 50% reduction if I pay the remainder in full. More good news!
And the sun is shining.....
