Drove Libbie to the airport for a 7:50 AM flight. I went home and continued packing for the trip. The drive was fairly easy. There was traffic in all the usual spots - SC near the border, Savannah and 295 around JAX. I took 23 South but missed the turn off to get to 301 and ended up going South. I pulled over and used the navigation on the cell phone to help. Found a Walmart gas station and tried to buy gas but the card was declined. Tried 3 times and went up the street to a Convenience store and got the same result. Went to Wendys next door and had a single and fries while trying to contact the security department at the CU. No luck at all. My single had cheese on it which I don't like but I was hungry. I had rain on and off through SC, GA and Florida. It was mainly summer showers but heavy at times. The drive was surprisingly easy but long. Stopped at Subway on Clark to get a sandwich for dinner then Publix near Clark for a bottle of Woodbridge Cabernet. Dinner was the sandwich and a glass of wine. The Internet was down so I called Frontier and was surprised at how nice they were. He did something in the office and I was up and running. He called it provisioning the account. I have been paying for Internet service all this time and have not had any the past 3 months. Once this was up and running I was able to tune into Adafruits live broadcast. I got the code for the 10% discount and ordered the parts to build a replacement weather console. I ordered an RTC breakout, a barometer breakout and a power supply. Next issue was calling the credit union and getting the credit card straightened out. This was frustrating because they wanted the account number which their system wouldn't recognize on the touch tone. I also tried to speak the number a few times and then finally got in. What a pain in the ass, the CU doesn't have any customer support.
