Looking for a carwash and tethering, not....

I hate to keep talking about the weather here but we continue to experience really nice temperatures....  Today was to be cooler but it still made it up to 73 in the middle of the afternoon..

And it is to be warmer each day until the middle of next week when we are to reach 80 again...  Sigh....  Tough duty.......  Not a rain cloud in sight....

Well with the nice weather, I decided that I needed to wash the motorcycle...  This requires a pressure washer to get the wheels and underside clean..  And I don't have one here..  Sometimes I brought one from home, but there wasn't much room this fall..  For the added weight.. I'm sure I could have shoehorned it in though...

But that's easy just go to a car wash.....  But looking on line, they were all auto drive thru types... How do you find a wand wash when you want one...?  I'll just ride up into the old part of Apache Junction, there'll be one up there some where............   Wrong...

I rode and rode up and down all the suspect streets and never did find such an animal...  I wonder if wand washes are so out of favor that they have all been closed...???  I came home and searched the internet again but didn't find anything...  Perhaps some of my fellow Arizona bloggers know where they are hidden...

That left me outside with a bucket and a soapy sponge...  And even though the temps were very nice, that sun bears down on you, making me leak sweat.....  I couldn't keep my glasses on my face....Yuk...

And it was a rather slow process, as the water leaves all those water spots...  So it all needs wiped off before it dries......  And the underside is still just as dirty as before....

So when I finished that project,  I was hot and disappeared inside to work on the the new little android transformer tablet.....  I was trying to see what it would take to tether the phone to it as an internet source....  At first I thought it would need to be wired with a cord, so I drove way over to Fry's Electronics in West Tempe...

Finally I whomped up a cable to connect the two....  But once home it obviously wouldn't work.....  Studied some more and decided to use the bluetooth option.... And several hours later I did get them connected after using a couple of different downloaded apps...

And I thought I had it too.... but..... I learned that the tablet was secretly connected to a distant neighbor's wifi...  Its wide open and just named linksys, like it came from the factory....

I read that there is some file that I might be missing....  But then they said the nasty words that I might have to root the operating system to install it.....  Nah, more study before we do that....   Tomorrow.....  or maybe not...
