This week I was in Charlotte, NC installing beta software for a customer. It has been a while since I’ve been out on the road and this will probably continue for a bit. I had forgotten how long a day can be when you’re face to face and only have moments to multi-task. Two 17 hour days and one 16 hour day, with a 14 hour day thrown in the middle, left me ready to head home. I did get to see some friends (Juan & Jan) while there but couldn’t get to Raliegh to see the others (Chip & Beth). Of course Raliegh isn’t really on the way but it was a good opportunity to try and return a gas grill of their’s. Of course if things hand gone better and I could have turned those days into 8 or 10 hours it would have been more realistic. But that’s the way it goes.

The last time I went to Charlotte it was on a bad u-joint in the truck, not much pull going through the mountains, but this time no problems. Only some wind to deal with and a little rain. Good to be home … next week should be busy with follow up and trying to get ready for Montreal on the 9th. Yes another trip, another beta. Joy !!!!
