<VV> My Plans for Monday

[James Davis]

I guess I will chime in, too.   The wife and I were in a Holiday Inn in 
New Bern, NC.  I spent the morning getting my 20 foot Vivacity sailboat 
out of the marina at Cherry Point MCAS and loading it on the trailer.   
I towed the rig with my 1965 Corsa convert.  When I got to the draw 
bridge across the Trent, River there was a traffic jam.   The draw 
bridge was stuck open.  You don't back up on a two lane road in a 4-sp 
Corvair towing a 21 foot long trailer with 3,200 lbs of sailboat.  They 
finally opened the bridge at 7:30 CST.  We checked into the nearest air 
conditioned motel to spend the night (after 6 hours in a stopped car 
with the temps in the low 90's).  We stayed up most of the night 
watching the TV.

I kept my slide rules (a Post and a K&E) until  my son bought me a HP 
12C in 1977.  The slide rules have been packed away for many years but 
the 12C gets used almost every day.  I have been through six desktop and 
three laptop computers but the HP is still hanging in there.   HP still 
makes the 12C but the price has increased from $49.95 to $85.00.
