Technical Difficulties

RV #1 (callsign Primo) endured various technological hardships today. We let our gas tank get too low, putting the generator into shock and leaving us without air conditioning through the midday sun in Oklahoma. We eventually debugged the RV, cooled off and were able to charge our electronics.

The internets also failed us. At first we thought Jinnah's "unlimited" sprint mobile data plan had been maxed out by too much starcraft the past few days. I spoke with a tech stop phone support guy (discovered that cell connection from Oklahoma to India is rather weak and that Jinnah's ldap is pronounded "Juliet Delta Hotel") and escalated the issue by explaining that we had *SREs* without internet. It turns out, our data plan was fine, and the same weak phone connection was responsible for keeping us internetless.

We've prevailed despite the trials. Justin, Dave, and Vince have even succeeded in blending in with the locals.





Up next: Steak for dinner in Wichita and BBQ for breakfast in Kansas City. Doug, Neal and I are catatonic with excitement.
