I think that there was a small indicator that showed it was off but not very noticeable until I reached the top of the climb and started down and got to fairly easy descent from the 12% top descent. This means that I cut 10 miles off of my 38 mile recording. Luckily I did this exact route a month ago and so could get the climb and length off of it. But the new Shamal wheels which had a remarkable effect on my flats speed didn't show any true average speed.

The immediately followed that by yet another firmware update. So hopefully that wil correct the problem. It shows the route when you get to the end of the ride and connect it with Garmin Express, but it shows zero mileage for these sections. The last time the Garmin switched off at 5 miles into a 30 mile ride leaving me to guess at distances.
>> >> > >> >> > >> >> >> > > > > That are strange problems. My brother uses an edge 830 for a couple of years now without those problems. He had issues when the unit came out but all that was solved by the first couple of updates. Garmin and software is not a great combination. Have you consulted the Garmin forum:

Tomorrow I'll be taking anoter ride and start early and hope the wind and weather aren't too bad or hot. If it fails yet again after I've reset it, I'll have to call Service again. The last problem I had he sent me a non-released version of firmware that fixed all of the problems. I think I'll carry the 810 in my back pocket so that I don't have to guess at distances anymore. The 830 is smaller and lighter but DAMN are a lot of people having problems with it.

>> >> > >> >> > >> >> >> > Well, one of the help line guys suggested that I disconnect the 830 from the old version 1 speed/cadence sensor and I did that running purely on GPS and it operated perfectly. I will try it again today and then change it over to the version 2 speed and cadence sensors which I think are different. If this works I will let the Garmen people know that they have a big fat bug sitting in the middle of their Version 1 sensor firmware.

I cannot get into adding a sensor screen because pushing the 3 lines has absolutely no effect. Fooling around with the power button gets me into a power screen at the top of which is an item that says "Lock Screens" pushing that has no effect either, as does pushing the buttons below it saying "power off" or "go to sleep".

>> >> > >> >
>> >> > >> >Tommy, you being a city boy who has no clue about where food comes from, I will tell you something. Lots of food is grown in the DIRT!!!!!! Yes that is right, the DIRT!!!!!!!!! And the animals we raise and slaughter and eat are also usually raised on dirt. Standing on the dirt. Not eating the dirt. But the food they eat is grown in the dirt. DIRT!!!!!!!!!!! And guess what Tommy? There are flies and bugs and all kinds of other things in this dirt!!!!!!!!! Or on the crops. Now when all the food is processed, it is usually kept reasonably clean. But I think the FDA has some rules for bug parts per millions thing or another. And human beings deal with germs and bacteria pretty well. I think there is some bacteria that live inside humans!!!!!!!!!!
>> >> > >> >
>> >> > >> >And Tommy, I suspect there are also open markets where organic, nature people sell their home grown vegetables in California. Usually Saturday mornings in downtown. Usually these markets are a big deal. Lots of people go there every week to buy wholesome food. Usually expensive.

Corn is used as animal feed. AND to make fructose. That sugar used in almost everything. Everything processed anyway. Food. So when Tommy boy drank his Coke today, it contained fructose likely from Iowa corn. Now back to that animal feed part about corn. Iowa grows lots of corn that is fed to livestock. Iowa is also a HUGE pig state. I believe Iowa raises more pigs than any other state in the USA. Hog confinements are everywhere. Every few miles you see and smell a hog confinement out in the country. Do you know what the hogs eat? Corn grown in Iowa. Know what else the hogs make, besides pork when they are slaughtered? Manure. Hog confinements make lots and lots of manure. Do you know what is done with that manure? It is spread on fields. Actually its injected, tilled into the dirt. So Tommy boy,

>Six months is half a year and not "a couple of months". The Air Force called it a war zone and issued me a VFW metal for it no matter how much you lie about it. The bombs and the ammunition was all live and I did fly four missions over Vietnam directly whether you want to admit it or not. You're such a nobody that you're using kilometers instead of miles to make the distances sound further than they are. I was in Japan since Okinawa is part of Japan and my Japanese friend lives there. I also flew at least one Chrome Dome mission which covered the Arctic Circle. A couple of years ago I took a cruise ship to Mexico. I've been to 13 states. You want to pretend that you have been something other than a nitwit like Frank but your pretense isn't real.

As I mentioned Tommy - so much noise and so little knowledge.

To start off, there is no such "award" as an Air Force VFW metal 0r
Medal.

So, lie #1

As for your 4 missions over Vietnam.... tell us why SAC would want a
unskilled A2C to fly on a combat mission? Ballast? Vivid Imagination?
Lie #2

You flew a Chrome Dome mission? In what capacity? An Unskilled nobody
tool box carrier?
Lie #3

You've been in 13 states? So What? I've lived and worked in, lets see,
Gee, you've got me I've only lived and worked in 9 states... and lets
see... 8 foreign countries.... note the "lived and worked" as opposed
to "been to"

See Tommy (yapping dog) Kunich, the difference is I've done it while
you have only dreamed it.
