New Toy

The UPS man delivered my new toy today. It is a Garmin nuvi 660 GPS. This my first stab at using a GPS besides the one time I used one in a rental car. Since electronic devises tend to updated every 3 months, I went a little over the top with the features on this puppy. It is pretty amazing what it can do. Besides directions and maps it can be used as a MP3 player, an audio book player, bluetooth and more. I do not own anything else that has bluetooth, so I'll have to wait on that. This thing has more computing powder than Apollo 11 had in it's Command and Lunar Modular combined!

What's more I figured out how to load some songs on it and downloaded 3 Audio books from audible.com that Garmin threw in. The three books I chose were River of Doubt, which tells the story of TR's last adventure in South America. Never Give In, the speeches of Sir Winston Churchill in his own voice. And A Few Quick Ones, which is about seven Jeeves short stories by PG Wodenhouse. So now I have 20 hours of audio books to listen to in the car.

I live 2 miles from my office which takes me about 5 minutes to drive each way. Doing the math quickly it should take me about 24 weeks to listen to everything.

I guess I'm going to have to find a longer way to get to work because I'm not moving!!!!!!!!!!
