Headed back to St. Pete this morning… but for those who have requested more pictures, you will find them here:

Out of the resort at 10am — a mess at the check-in counter again. Bad, bad, bad customer service. Not even a comment card to complain on.

Really do love the Sync system in the Ford Fusion. Hit the microphone button on the steering wheel and say “Call Lisa Jacobs” and the system answers “Call Lisa Jacobs Mobile or Home?”. Say “Mobile” and it starts dialing. Really slick — to bad it doesn’t work with my phone but Dan’s. Guess I should research that.

Lunch with Dan and Lisa at Kissin Cuzzins — and they were out of the Pulled Pork, so it was a Reuben. At least I didn’t have the fries, but the cole slaw.

Work in the afternoon at the warehouse. Expecting a quiet evening since I fly out tomorrow.

Take-out broiled chicken from Yaya’s Broiled Chicken. Damn fine. Damn quick. Damn easy, and pretty healthy with sides of beans and cole slaw (yes, more).

In case you were wondering about my EVDO connection with the new updates and software, here are the latest numbers.

Not as nice as the SpeakEasy test for visuals in the link — the real thing is much better, but it’s a damn flash thingee that doesn’t copy and paste.

And SpeakEasy.Net used to have a great copy and paste speed test — but they’ve switched to some damn flash thing as well. Speeds were 667 and 332 (and the previous test was 702 and 256) to Dallas (rather than Fort Worth). Thought I’d pick two cities in Texas as they are a ways from St. Pete.

Off to bed. Out of the house at 8:30 tomorrow (again).
