Push the Reset Button - Day 354

  I just have to face it... I won't be done with this trail until the end of January. But I don't have to think about that today.

What I did have to think about today was:

1. Reset the location- Moving the trailer. We did that, and want to say a big thank you to Terry and Sue for letting us stay there for the past week. It turned out that we have a mutual friend and quite a few things in common in addition to that. They were awesome hosts.

2. Reset the schedule- I spent most of the day trying to work out an alternate plan that will allow me to complete the western UP miles with a minimum of backpacking. I have no idea what iteration this is for some of the locations, but it's feeling crazy.

3. Reset a computer- David S. has given me a "new" to me computer, because mine is nearly dead. Setting up a new computer in the best of circumstances is insane. This is not the best of circumstances, except that the old computer is still functional, so I can use it for help and to get things done while I work on the new one. So far, I have one browser and my Google account synced. It's a start.

4. Reset my brain- A subset of #2. I've resisted Windows 10 as along a possible, because I LIKE Windows 7. Also because I don't want to buy upgrades for a lot of my software. But at long last, I really have to do these things. But the biggest problem today was that I don't even know how to do the basics with a Win10 touchpad. I now can drag and drop, right click, and scroll, but... sheesh. How to feel like an idiot in one easy lesson.

5. Reset the weather- The upcoming week is actually looking pretty decent for this area. I will be back on the trail tomorrow. Today was brutally cold. There was supposed to be a lot of snow and high winds. Not so much. Still- a good day to reset and not hike.

I know this is a lot of non-hiking info in the middle of a hike. But these things have to happen for me to reach my goals of completing and sharing this trip.
