Life Day 21395: Daily Doses of Dalliance

I'm way, way behind on my daily journal, so i'll now begin to rectify this. When we left off on the 20th of January, your highway hero had just arrived in Las Vegas, NV for some much deserved 'home-time'. During this visit, he purchased a Sprint Wireless Card. http://straycat.us/2006/01/new-wireless-card.htm He immediately began to play with his new "toy". It is vastly more convenient than the previous WiFi method of going 'on-line'.
On the 23rd, he delivered his load in Las Vegas. The Consignee was located about 2 miles from the Wild, Wild West where he 'resides' when in Vegas. The delivery was scheduled for 1100 and the Customer would not take it any earlier. The unloading took a bit over 2 hours. Unfortunately for your hero, that pretty much blew the whole day for dealing with any form of autocratic bureaucracy, like going to the DMV to renew the registration on his automobile. http://straycat.us/2006/01/pahrump-pilgrimage.htm There is always a horrendous line, no matter which "conveniently located" branch of the DMV you decide to utilize, and the delivery had priority. The DMV will have to wait until tomorrow.
After the delivery, a trip to 'Wally World' was needed. Your hero purchased a new radio/CD/mp3 player for his truck. The existing one would no longer "read" discs. He also purchased essential MMM food and treats, and assorted toiletries. After installing the new radio, he "vegged" and "geeked" for the remainder of the day.
On the 24th, after the jaunt to the DMV, your hero went to Fry's Electronics. The intention was to have the old radio/CD/mp3 player repaired and install it in his car. The radio in the car "fritzed" on the return trip from Pahrump. An hour later, he walked out with a new Canon iP-90 Printer and his (still un-repaired) radio. Fry's doesn't repair Sony products unless under warranty. Oh well, nothing is simple for the daunted one.
