Sunbelt, day 3, and a dead laptop

The ag. show is over, after a last day that unusually stayed busy through most of the afternoon. I didn't start packing up stuff until after 3, when the official close is at 4. Some years, I've started packing before 2 because no one was stopping at the booth. Good week overall, but I'm glad it's done.

I'll drive back to Atlanta tomorrow morning after Daddy and I tackle another one or two of the items on his to-do list. I'm hoping for a smooth trip with no mechanical breakdowns. I think I'm due...

iPod!!!

It's here and charging. While I wait, I'm copying music into iTunes so I can make my first experiments loading stuff on the iPod.

Got home from work and found that the FM transmitter package didn't have a required signature, so that was at the front door. And the hang-tag for the iPod itself, also at the front door, said "can be picked up at the following location after 6 PM" and gave the hours of said location as lasting until 8:30. Quick check to be sure the package was actually there, a look at YahooMaps to find out where the FedEx center actually is. It shows as a 15 minute drive--no problem. Got there, stood in the short line of other people who were anxiously awaiting packages, showed my ID, and collected the box.

New toy!

iPod!

It was...hmmm...last August when I decided to spend a work bonus on an iPod. Did a little shopping, procrastinated, then let the idea get lost in the hustle-bustle. Sometimes procrastination pays off, though ....more )
