I’m sitting here in my hotel room and I’m almost ready for bed. I want to get to bed early so I get up early enough to spend a little time on their treadmill and still make to the client site by 8:00 am.
Earlier I went to the tanning salon and got a 7 minute baking. I’m finding I don’t feel as hot in the booth as I used to. I told the Vorlon Wife that she should jump up and down before she went in. That way she could be a shake and bake.
I know - it’s really corny. I related this to the girl behind the Hollywood Tans counter and she laughed almost hilariously. I regret that she was busy in the back when we left. She would have made a great audience for some of my jokes. An opportunity missed.
Later, after some lunch I packed Dasher-1 and headed north. Traffic was light and I made good time.
I had a wheel alignment done on Dasher-1 last week. You may remember I put a set of Goodyear TripleTreads on Dasher-1 a few months ago. One of the things I noticed about these tires is how they handle. If feels like there is very little trail in the front alignment. In a turn, if I take my hands off the wheel the car doesn’t return to the straight as quickly as before. The only way I can describe it is, the steering feels more “neutral.” I had thought the wheel alignment might change the steering characteristics. But it didn’t. So it’s the tires not the front end settings.
I gave the Vorlon Brother a call on the way up to see how he’s recovering from his recent medical procedure. He sounds good. I find it convenient to stick the headset in my ear and chat on the phone while driving longish distances. It makes the time go quickly.
I’m considering relegating my cell phone to the Vorlon Wife and getting myself a new one that is Bluetooth enabled. Then I can get a Bluetooth headset.
I have a wireless headset in my office and I absolutely love it. It has a 300 Ft range and I can wander all over and still not miss calls. I highly recommend it to anyone that spends much time on the phone. I got mine through Hello Direct. I think a Bluetooth headset for the cell phone would also be very cool.
