Was very stiff and could only get 20 min of elliptical yesterday. Body telling me to get some rest. 

Trip yesterday was pretty brutal. Our estimates on range yesterday were getting us to charging stations with little reserve. We tried the more stations less charge method and it seemed to work with the charging but took a long time.  Have to get my calculations back on track. Second the cruise control, autosteer was having issues. It would not be available. Reset the computer it came back and went out again. Being on the throttle was giving my foot and ankle a cramp. 

Traffic was rush hour crazy between  Columbia an KC. Well it's rush hour and the malls are packed and everyone hitting the road. 

Finally at the hotel. Bummer! No K cup machine! Have to remember that and get a pour over funnel. 

I also should look at my dynamic IP address. It was not work right yesterday. 

This morning I hit the gym with M and got a good workout. Will be able to hit the gym again tonight. 

Meeting the KC crowd at First Watch on Armor Rd at 9 this morning. 

Karen, Gary, Shirley, Roxanne, Ginny, M and myself were there. Breakfast was good, catching up with everyone was even better. We were all chattering away telling all the details that we have missed in out lives for the last two years.   Brian was at work I hope he is there tomorrow,  We then wen to Shirley's new home. She has a very nice place.  More talking and we got on the the subject of videos.  Videos of Rico the porcupine from the Cincinnati zoo  came out. But the girls started with a dance along video of salsa dance. Karen was kind of shocked to learn that YouTube video to learn something were free!  We had some snacks, what is Christmas without snacks! Shirley had to go to work. The tyranny of work!  But she left us at her apartment,  I don’t know I would never toss the keys to my place to a bunch of pals.  We avoid tearing down the house.  The we went to a walk around Macken Park about a mile around at least it was good to work off the big breakfast. Getting back to the apartment and more catching up, the girls made plans for tomorrow since it is going to rain. Andre's downtown, a Swiss restaurant.  I think they had more in mind and we are going to Ginny and Brian's later on in the evening tomorrow, 

We came back to the hotel after stopping at HY-VEE. Got a pour over coffee funnel and salad and fruit for dinner. We went to the gym to round out our day with a workout and had dinner back in the room.  I also loaded PhotoScape X to try and it seemed to combine pictures pretty good.
