It has arrived!  On the phone with SWMBO, arranging for the pick-up time that I may take her out to dinner this evening, she told me it's arrived. FedEx's web site says it's still in transit, but between Ocala and the Playpen. So I shall have a package to open this evening. Who knows, maybe I will try packing the Old Man for the trip out west.

Oh, so fun. New fishing rods... sort of, as it were, kinda

On another note, I've installed two new toys for the laptop today.  One of them is the datacable which allows me to use my cell phone as my modem.  It appears to work, but I'm not exactly sure.  Next time I test it, I guess I should unplug my Internet connection.

The other toy is the National Geographic Back Roads Explorer, a set of topographic maps for the entire US. This led me to explore the area of Colorado I'll be wandering through next week, imagining the places I'll be unlimbering the camera and photographing. Then I started checking out where I'll be in September, up in D.C., which is close to where [livejournal.com profile] marjai will most probably be.  It's close, as these things go, compared to being in Florida. However, there is still a small matter of some one hundred sixty kilometers, plus or minus the accuracy of my line drawing. Well, that is simply a detail to work out, nothing more.
