This is Matt here.
We got off to a great start this morning and the car's navigation system is doing great.
Our first stop was Fredericksburg, TX, for a great lunch at Friedhelms and great snacks at that shop in Fredericksburg with all the cool samples of food. The samples places had a GREAT mint-chocolate fudge that we split.
However, Mike has omitted a few tiny problems we hit. We discovered that our scheme to play music from the laptop over the car's radio system had a few flaws, one was that Mike's ancient 12-volt-to-AC converter could not handle the power requirements of his new laptop and that my FM transmitter (which can play MP3s over a car radio) was not powerful enough to reach his car's antenna. This problem was solved with a visit to the Carlsbad Radio Shack for a new converter, and a visit to a Wal-Mart in Pecos, TX, for one of those old CD-player-to-car-cassette-player converters. Our laptop is now supplying us with endless good music in the VAST areas of no radio station coverage in west Texas.
Tomorrow is Carlsbad Caverns and hopefully Roswell if there's time!

Woo Hoo! One day down and you're still alive. I'm so glad you got the music going!
Can I post a link to this on my blog?
