Thank you. I hope everything is going well now that you are back at home.
Last week gpsd disconnected on me (both laptops use 1 puck connected via crossover) after I started the laptops and let them run all day w/o checking them. 1 had a 12 new w/ gps out of 1200 new w/o gps, the other a 150/1000+ something? I was out in St. Louis when the 12/1200 happened. Had a load from Cincinnati to Sapulpa, OK (near Tulsa). They kicked me off of it 14 miles from OK border (Joplin), and I swapped with a driver, and went right back to St. Louis. On the way out there, I drove downtown past the arch.
I bought a foldable bike. Got it up in my bunk. Twice I have gone Warbiking. Got about 450 total new between the 2 times. First time was not good. I got lost, and ended up asking a police car how to get back to the Walmart I had parked in. I ended up riding about 7 miles, and it was 90 something in NC, and i didn't take any water with me. Second time I studied the map better, and got back to my truck w/o any problems in IN. Just a backpack with a laptop and my 2 8dbi panels placed in the bag facing the sides, and a gps puck poking out the top of the bag.
Drove up to MI in my car, still no WDing in it. Last minute decision, and all my equipment is mostly in my truck now. Did take a laptop w/ only internal card to MSU campus in East Lansing to watch MSU whoop UAB, and burn the right side of my face in the sun. 300 new to and from stadium parking. I couldn't resist, though the whole time I was thinking I should go to a store and get something with an external antenna (obsessed much?).... Michigan lost to ASU as we were getting back to my father's car, and it sounded like new years when they blocked the kick. Horns honking and cheers heard from all across campus. That was funny.
