OK, this is the last in the series of BFFs we have encountered on the road.
Mr. Sirius XM radio started out as a FREE but considering we do not have cable or satellite TV & our favorite station is gone...Fox News...we found it on Mr Sirius. So lately we have been paying for him because when we go out as much as we do we turn to Fox News which is exactly what is playing on the TV. However, Mr. Sirius may become a very bad boy. Mr. Sirius is saying it is going to take Fox News off the its service. So we will have to say Bye, Bye to this friend if he does. He would no longer be a BFF.
The very bestest friend we met & believe me they have become a life saver. I say they because we never know if he or she will talk to us. Who are they? Mr. & Mrs. OnStar. They have a lot of functions, but we contact them whenever we need directions either to or out of places in every city & town we have travelled.
Seriously, OnStar has bailed us out of a couple of scary places. We realized our old GPS is not that reliable. So if we are ever in doubt where to go...OnStar button is right there for us!

Saying Goodbye, Saying Hello
When we embarked on this journey we had to say goodbye to old friends. Friends we have known for 6 years or longer. It was hard, but new friends have taken their places.
For instance, we had to say goodbye to the Kenmore twins - Washer & Dryer. We were friends for 11 yrs. & really didn't know what we would do without them. However, new twins have taken their place: The Laundry-Mat Twins, Washer & Dryer 2. I never thought I could cozy up to these new twins because I have always been a snob about Laundry-Mat Twins. I have found that they are a lot nicer & cleaner than the others I encountered in the past outside of an RV Park. You know the PUBLIC Laundry-Mat Twins.
Another old friend we said goodbye to was - Mr. Direct TV. All our satellite TV channels & programs gone. We were hoping that we could strike up a cable TV relationship at the various RV Parks but found out that very few have cable TV. Why? Because most people travel with their satellite TV friends Direct & Dish TV.
How are we coping? There was a great new friend waiting for us we didn't expect & she travels with us no matter where we go. It's Ms. TV from the Antenna on our rig. Who knew?! Granted she has limited stations: CBS, NBC, ABS, Fox, but she has channels we have come to know & love. Most places call themselves MeTV & AntennaTV. What's so wonderful about these stations is all the oldie shows like: Bionic Women, 6 Million Dollar Man, Adam-12, Emergency, Dragnet, and on and on. We watch more of those show than anything else.
Yes, we miss HGTV, Discovery, History channels & especially Fox News, but Ms. TV from the Antenna on our rig has given us hours of enjoyment.
Next time I will introduce you to our last 2 new BFFs we have made on the road. These two are probably the most important friends we could have made.
