Thanksgiving in Florida
- The wifi connection in my hotel room doesn't work on either my Windows laptop or the Orange Pi, although I was able to connect using my Android phone. So, I set up a hotspot using the phone and am now happily playing Scott Adams' podcast while writing this. Simultaneously, although there are only a few electric outlets available in the room, and to use them I had to unplug lamps and the alarm clock, I did that and am charging two USB power banks, my phone and am able to run the Orange Pi and portable monitor. If I had been really intelligent about it, I would have brought an extension cord or power strip, but extra USB cables and charging blocks are doing the trick. Yay me.
- I'm killing some time before going over to Craig's for Thanksgiving dinner. He said they plan to eat about 3 p.m., and he's picking up Dad at 2:00. I offered to pick up Dad if that would help, but he hasn't answered that yet so unless he says yes, I'll just go directly to his & Rebecca's house. David said yesterday that he'll come over to visit tomorrow, since they are having the holiday at Chrissy's. I hope that means Angela and the kids will also come over, but if not I'll see if I can wrangle an invitation to go over there to see them. Byron's birthday present arrived just before I left home, so I'll try to find some giftwrap and give that to him rather than have to mail it. When I get home I need to get busy on my Christmas shopping!
