I had heard about software 4.10 for the Fenix 6 yesterday. I was, at that point, still at 3.80. Late last night, i.e., Friday, September 27, 2019, I connected the Fenix 6 to Garmin Express. Got the update pretty quickly. Took a few minutes to install, but there were no problems. Pretty smooth.

I hadn’t hooked up my MARQ Expedition to Express in a few days. Did so this morning, i.e., Saturday, . If nothing else I wanted to keep it charged. 5.10 got downloaded that point.

As you can see from the above descriptions, which I got from ‘Garmin Forums’, they essentially track each other. That is good — albeit with the newer Fenix 6 leading the way and the MARQ getting the features added on. But, not an issue. Garmin is doing the MARQ updates quickly. Hope it carries on like that.

The only new enhancement that really interested me was the ‘all day respiration’ widget. I installed it on both watches. Neat. I even read how it works — by minutely analysing changes in heart rate at the millisecond level. It is good to have a widget that tells you that you are still breathing! At my age that can be an issue. I like the readings I am seeing. They look OK to I, but I have no idea if they are accurate.

Another gorgeous day in Central New Hampshire and the colors just adds to the glory. What a joy it is to be able to walk through this beauty. I stopped myself from taking too many pictures. There is only so many I can share with you. Plus, I did basically the same walk as yesterday, plus I will be doing it again next week. So, I wanted to keep some scenes for future shots. Tomorrow is my day off from walking/running but I will try to take some pictures — maybe even with my Canon EOS RP running Firmware 1.3. Enjoy.

A Hula Hoop Trick That Only A Few Can Manage.

Watch the YouTube video.


She worked it out today and was very pleased with herself.

You must have worked it out.

You need to have enough hair or wear a wig so that you can have a big bun on top of your head.

Thought it might amuse you. Amused I.

Enjoy.



Hula Hoop collection and my custom holder for them.

I feel — and also know — that I am privileged. I get to spend hours surrounded by this. Wonderful when I am walking.

But, please remember, I pay the price. This is just compensation for 5-months of cold, snow, ice and winds! So, it is like the last hurrah prior to the misery of winter. SMILE. And this year, after my knee injury in February, I won’t even be able to shovel snow. That really was my only joy in winter. Shoveling snow. It is so satisfying.

I will try and make this a daily event. Sharing the local foliage with you. Not difficult — really. I can just step outside and snap a few pictures. 50% of these were within 100 yards of my front door!

‘SkyChart’ APP Now Working On Garmin Fenix 6.

Click image to access the ‘Connect IQ’ product page.


48-hours ago it was not supported on the new Garmin Fenix 6.

But, as of today, i.e., , it is. I have it running, well, on my Fenix 6.

Yes, two-days ago I contacted the developer via the link in ‘Connect IQ’.

He e-mailed me this morning. Very nice gentleman. A lecturer in Computer Science in the U.S.

Programs these APPs as a hobby — for fun. That is wonderful. A very nice, generous person.

Try it out.

I have had this APP on my MARQ Expedition for a few months now. Comes in handy. Works well.

New Hampshire 2019 Fall Foliage Is Way, Way Ahead Of Schedule.

by Anura Guruge

Click to access post.


In the last few days the colors have exploded, the brilliant reds, the vivid yellows and the appealing oranges. This is early. Maybe 2-weeks, possibly even 3. We are not in October yet, and these are the colors you would expect in mid-October.

Yes, I am lucky, very lucky. I live in the sticks and I am able to mindlessly amble across the wooded, rural landscape, on , for at least 90-minutes a day. So, I get to see, observe and note the colors and the beauty around me. I do not take it for granted. I take time to smell the roses — though the wild roses are nearly all gone.

I would contend that 2019 New Hampshire foliage is in full-swing. I will have to take more pictures, so I can share with you.

Enjoy.

Garmin Gets A Huge Plug From The U.S. Acting DNI During The ‘Whistleblower Complaint’ House Hearing.

by Anura Guruge




It was around 11:41am.

So, if you can find that.


Acting U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Joseph Maguire, a Navy Seal for 34-years, relies on Garmin to get him to work!

Wow. What BIGGER plus could you want.

Cracked me up. I was doing my 4+ mile walk, with my brand new Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire, listening to the hearings (I being an unashamed news junkie) on a pocket transistor. [Yes, at 66, I am old fashioned. Just like I was doing 50-years ago, as a boy, I carry a pocket transistor radio IF I want to listen to the radio. Rarely music. Usually NPR or some other talk show. Yes, I carry, not always, my Google Pixel 2 phone as well, but I do not have a radio APP on it. SMILE.]

It was around 11:41 — since I checked the time on the Fenix 6, so I can share it with you.

Joseph Maguire, who has only been Acting DNI, for 6-weeks was outlining the timeline as to how and when he heard about this whistleblower complaint.

He was trying to explain that it was still his 2nd day in this new job and that “he was still using Garmin to get to work“.

Quite the endorsement.

Garmin GPS rocks — of course.

Full disclosure: I am a long-term (and maybe because of that) own a Garmin MARQ Expedition & A Fenix 6 Sapphire.
