ok that didn't go so well

I was planning on getting out of Calgary tonight. I had everything all packed up... until I realized that I was missing X and Y and Z and had to run around all over town. I sure hope X (the WiFi) works with this computer, as it is an older model laptop. It should work according to the box, but one never knows.

And then there's Y, the digital camera. I picked one up for a fairly good... check that, excellent price secondhand. I haven't tested it out yet. That's a project for the morning.

Speaing of which, I am exhausted. I have been really plugging away trying to get everything ready to go, and just came up short by a few hours. I suppose it might have gone better if I had gotten some sleep yesterday - I've now been awake for 46 hours - working two shifts with no sleep in between, and the time in between shifts spent running around all over town pulling my stuff together, as well as packing and cleaning up around the apartment.... well, it takes its toll.

It's a good thing my landlord is an understnanding guy. I suppose it helps that of all his tenants I'm the only one who paid the rent every month on time.

Anyhow, I'll be outa here tomorrow, testing out all my stuff five miles outside of Calgary. So it looks like the major part of the trip will start the day after that, September 2nd: That's when I will be out on the open road, heading towards Medicine Hat.
