Getting ready

Amazing how many little tasks before heading out of town for seven weeks. Talk the postman into holding my mail beyond the 30 days allowed. Last minute aphid infestation kill in the garden. Trip to Home Depot to buy pipe insulation to protect my carbon fiber bike from the TSA folks who are notoriouosly careless when they repack your bike box after opening it. Trying to identify and prepay all the bills. And hooking up and testing my new keyboard for the blackberry so I don't have to bring my laptop on the trip ... A good idea for not working and not ruining my work lifeline at home. So this is the first test of doing an entry using just my blackberry and the keyboard ... Pretty nifty. More later ...
