Feb 13 - Goodnight

I left home about 7:45 this morning. I stopped at Wawa to top off Dasher-1’s fuel tank, and get some coffee. Since I had skipped breakfast I grabbed one of their breakfast sandwiches. That proved to be a mistake. It just wasn’t that tasty. However the coffee went down well and I paid only $1.979 a gallon for fuel. At that price I was tempted to have them put some in the glove box too.

I took Rt. 55 up to where it merged into Rt. 42. Everything was fine until I got to the Deptford Mall exit. Traffic was backed up to a mile below the Deptford mall. From the mall to the Rt. 42 merge is another two miles or so. I opted to zip through the mall area and got on Rt. 42 in another location. From there I picked up the New Jersey Turnpike at Exit 3 and then went long to Exit 11. The road was clear and dry and traffic was relatively light. I made very good time. From there I picked up the Garden State Parkway and the rest, as they say, was history.

All in all it was a good drive. There was another fellow that was flying in from Maximum Data Solutions in Plymouth, MI. Needless to say, his flight for Sunday night was canceled. While rolled into the client’s site about 10:30 he got there about 1:00 PM.

So far the project has been going well. It is the usual three people asking for three different things at the same time.

I as able to get enough coffee to keep me alert. A little after 7:00 tonight I told them I hated to leave just as a party was getting going, but I needed to get some rest or I wouldn’t be worth much.

So here it is about 9:30 and I’m still not cutting any Z’s. I think I’ll rectify that situation.

Good night.
