Day 2 - Hot Springs to Bowling Green

We awoke at 5:00 am, luckily the wildfires stayed under control so we didn't have to fight our way out through the flames. Getting a few hundred miles behind you while the sun rises is a great way to start the day. With the kids sleeping we passed through Memphis and after a few hours of driving I was ready for a break.

We stopped off in Nashville for ice cream and to cruise music row, no superstars out today. I guess Miley was at church...there was a tattoo parlor open, maybe she was in there.

Arriving in Bowling Green, Ky, I was surprised to look back over the day and realize there had been no strange sightings, no freaks, nothing really fun to write about. I guess it's the off season.

Sitting in front of a fire now, a pot of chili on the stove, kids at the playground, Carolyn playing with Drew, the dog and I are enjoying the evening while I type out a quick blog entry. Tomorrow, up at 0500 one more time and complete our journey to Buckhannon, Va for training.

Here's a RouterOS tip for you. If you are a seasoned veteran, no doubt you know about safe mode in winbox. However, if that's a new term for you then let me tell you about a feature that will save you life, or at least your evening at home. By opening a terminal window in winbox and typing ctrl-x, you will enter safe mode. If you make a configuration mistake and lock yourself out, or just want to undo everything you just did, simply crash out of winbox by clicking the X in the upper right corner window. Everything done in safe mode will be undone. If you want to save the changes, simply hit ctrl-x one more time and everything is saved.
