Launch occurred on schedule at 1630. The trip up was uneventful and I made very good time. Total travel time was 2:06. The "Check Engine" light continues to remain unlit.
Upon reaching my destination and stepping out of the vehicle, my right hamstring announced its displeasure. I limped for a few steps until it loosened up and I could walk more normally.
I'm really liking my Palm Pilot. It's certainly not perfect, but it does some things very well. It has been a Godsend for my meager time-keeping discipline. I've got a few frustrations about it.
1) My penmanship is bad and this makes manually writing on the thing very frustrating. I would say that, on average, I have to write at least 30% of my letters twice or more. Certain ones seem to give me more trouble than others do. I have seen a couple of programs I could use that supposedly improve that function. Perhaps I'll give them a try. I'm currently typing this on the collapsible keyboard I bought for it.
The keyboard is very impressive. So small, yet so usable. When I'm in church, I open up the keyboard, insert my Palm Pilot and type my notes as the pastor preaches. I think the people around me wonder what the heck I'm doing.
2) I'd like to see all the programs tie together. I'd like this thing to keep a continuous log of my activities that I could query at a later date. I've done a little research for something like that and there are a couple of programs that look interesting.
I made sure I got a room with a digital thermostat on the heater. A month ago, I had an all-night battle with a heater on a very cold night. I attempted without success to find a setting that was comfortable. Like Goldilocks and the three bears, it was either too hot or too cold.
