It seems to freeze or go to sleep and is useless, so I downloaded an iPod Touch app called DVPRemote which mimics the Roku remote. It works very well indeed. I love good programming. Well done to the developer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_thumb.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"18\" \/>New (to me) X5 &#8211; My trusty &#8217;03 X5 has hit 150k miles. I sense a disastrous mechanical failure in the near future, so I&#8217;ve traded it in on an &#8217;05 X5. It has 100k fewer miles and few new bells and whistles. I pick it up tomorrow. Can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"'05 X5\" rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bimmermail.com\/05-X5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bimmermail.com\/05-X5.jpg\" alt=\"'05 X5\" width=\"532\" height=\"390\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_thumb.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"18\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_thumbsdown.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"22\" height=\"21\" \/> Red Sox \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I was hoping they&#8217;d go out with a bang with a 20th win for Lester and winning 90 games. Well Lester blew his chance and unless the Sox sweep the Yankmees this weekend, the 90 game season won&#8217;t happen either. Still, they&#8217;ve done well and I&#8217;ve enjoyed watching them this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ups and Downs of the week.
