Selling Blueberry iBook on eBay

Karen and I have put her original iBook up for sell on eBay.

If you are looking, I should you click over to eBay to take a look at it.

It works great, but the battery doesn't hold a charge. (But, you can buy a new battery for it.) We have included all the original equipment plus we have a matching blueberry carrying case and airplane power adapter.

The power adapter works in cars, too.

Garmin GPSMAP 60cs is SOLD!

Well, the bidding got exciting today as the auction came to a close on our Garmin GPSMAP 60cs. During the last twenty minutes, the price ran up another $40 to close at $305 excluding shipping.

I had only expected a closing price around $275. So, this all goes to lower the cost of our new GPS which is on already being shipped as I type this entry.

I am looking forward to trying out the new GPS which is a Garmin GPSMAP 60csx.

Selling my Garmin GPSMAP 60cs

Garmin GPSMAP 60csWell, Karen and I are upgrading our GPS Unit to the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx Handheld GPS. This GPS can hold MicroSD Cards so that you can load more maps into the GPS. We travel frequently and we take our GPS with us. Our current GPS is can only hold about 56MBs worth of maps. So, we have to load and unload maps.

So, we have put our old GPS on eBay for sale. If you are looking for a GPS, you can bid on our Garmin GPSMAP 60cs.

Opening Day at Huntsville Stars Baseball

Huntsville StarsKaren and I have waiting almost nine months for baseball to return in to Huntsville. Opening day for home play is tomorrow and we can’t wait to head to the game. The Huntsville Stars take on the Birmingham Barons.

Tonight, we even discussed what kind of ballpark food we would eat for dinner tomorrow. Karen still wishes they had the Chick-Fil-A sandwich served at the games, but I am firm believer that hotdogs or the like is the only baseball food. We both know that draft beer is the drink of choice at a ball game.

My Brother's Business

It is a very simple site. I need to get him to improve it, but it is a start.

My brother runs a fundraising business that school organizations use to raise money. His business produces discount cards.

Rediscoverying the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah YeahsI see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are coming out with a new album, but I had forgotten the great songs they had made in the past.

It is amazing how a little reminder can bring back many things.

On their Fever to Tell album, they have a great tune in the song “Maps“. The sound just runs on forever in your mind after hearing it.

And if it doesn't run on in your mind, their web site may stick in your mind or your nightmares.
