Day 01 Myrtle Beach SC.

Well here we are in Myrtle Beach SC. The drive down was awesome. Tree foliage was at its best. and traffic was less then expected. The only stress was obtained in our over night stop in Wythville Virgina, when it was discovered that my personal laptop was missing its power supply, while the company laptop has no internal Wi-Fi. So now were in our condo and I have obtained an external Wi-Fi modem. This posting proves that that part works. My second stress point occurred this morning when I attempted to move a picture from my camera to the laptop in order to post it to the blog. Again no joy, since the company laptop would not connect to my external SD card reader. So with 2 strikes against me the best solution has to be to ask Lucille what she'd like to do. You only get 1 guess and the first one doesn't count.Yes, lets go for Sunday brunch and then go shopping. So off the the Blues Brother Restaurant with our friends Jerry and Barb we went, followed by a day of shopping. The weather is in its mid 70's and I have just about got this vacation condo turned into a remote office. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the SD Reader figured out, and possibly obtain a replacement power pack for my personal laptop. Hope to have a more picturesque posting later in the week

Grove City PA.

We're off. Yes its another shopping trip. This time to the Prime Outlet Mall in Grove City PA. Guess what. No sales tax on kids stuff. Suspect Garba will put a large dent into the Christmas List. For those who aren't quite sure where I'm going, here's the purposed route. Approximately 376 Km.


I'm fairly sure that the APRS Location Widget on the right side bar will work, since it did during the Alaskan trip. However a second APRS Track Widget has been added. It is expected that this widget will actually track the real route as it occurs. This widget will allow you to do a fair bit of route display customizing, such as , but not limited to the following.
