Upcoming RV Trip & Windows Live Writer Tip

I have been working on that toilet room spot now every night, building up the layers to make it as solid as possible knowing that I can’t use plywood for the final repair. I’ll have to use Hardibacker instead which is the thickness of the ceramic tile which is great but because it’s very hard it can be brittle so I have to insure there isn’t a lot of give when it’s stepped on.

The Allure will likely have to wait until Spring because the temps are heading down and it will be too cold to put it down, unless I run the genny all day, maybe I’ll give that a shot this weekend but once I get started I’ll have to finish it.

We are heading up to Geneseo hopefully 10/27 through 10/31. Once we get up there we will decorate the site for Halloween and I’ll take a boat load of pictures of all the decorated sites and costumes. I am also going to wash/detail the rig this weekend which will be a big job on top of the flooring but it has to get done, I hate a dirty RV!

Live Writer tip, you can drag pictures directly into Live Writer instead of browsing to each one. Makes for much faster blogging! Once you have dragged a picture into Live Writer, click the picture so it’s highlighted, a new tab will appear and turn green. It’s called “Picture Tools”, click that tab and then click “Link Options” and you can set the behavior for your picture like the size and frame etc… once that is done if you’d like to use these settings every time you post a picture click on “Set to default” and every time you drag a picture it will default to your chosen settings. Makes doing this so much faster!

Another great feature is the "sharpen" tool. Many slightly out of focus pictures can be made to look like they are totally in focus.

Beautiful colors on the tree. Our leaves here just die, they don't really go into that beautiful fall color. Good luck on your bathroom project & I'm looking forward to seeing the halloween decs!

My laptop is a MacBook Pro, but my husband has it set up so that it can also function as a PC. Up till now I have always just used the Blogger function to write my posts and place pictures. I think I might give the Live Writer on the PC side a try soon.

Yup, love live writer doing the uploading and all the other tricks for it :). I just drag and drop my local pictures into the post I'm making and then when I have a hotspot I can get on that has good speed and bandwith, do the uploads. :).

Your tree is so pretty. I just never did get to see the colors I was looking for. Oh well maybe next year. I keep saying that don't I.
Sorry I came back its way to hot here still.
Hope you have a great camp out. Can't wait to see the pictures.
