Hope you get it back on time.

In addition to writing down my mileage before I drop it off, I also turn on the "bread crumb trail" option in my navigation system so I can watch where they took their "test drives". I likes to keep 'em honest

Push the menu button, select "Setup Menu", then select "Map"... I think the option is called "trace mark". The neat part is the Navi is always on and tracking where you go, whether you have the screen up or not... so it's not like the mechanic knows he's being "watched". It's also handy when you drive in a new subdivision that's not on our old-*** map discs, and need to find your way back out. My kids call them easter eggs, as it looks like my car is "laying" blue eggs as I drive .

Warning though- could be used by one's significant other to challenge where you said went the night before

I finally found a reason for wanting navigation. But I'd still rather have guages in that spot.

I saw my previous post, "right down" - I used to think I could spell and write , but apparently not.

Is the Brat Stop some famous/popular place to go to in Wisconsin? I want to go to one of those German beer halls, is that what this place is?

The brat stop is a odd sort of place. It's a truck stop/cheese market/restaurant/bar type of place. But it has a HUGE parking lot, so that should be good.

I have to ask, I am looking to a friend who is offering us webspace on a very fast and well connected server for $5 a month.

The portal software is $150 for a purchased license, and then $30 maintenance / year (after the first year).

Would this be something we wish to do? By doing that, we can support more of a library function, have our own space to put up images etc..

We would then also have our own domain name..

2 sites that he already operates on the same hardware with the same portal software are.....

http://redtailboa.net

We discussed the idea of setting-up another site, but every one attending decided against it because of the monetary implication, and because it was too organized.

Personally, if people would pay dues to the Treasurer, ME, like they were supposed to then we could be doing this right now.


















(I'm joking, there are no dues, nor am I the Treasurer. I am currently trying to arrange to accept paypal, though!)
