unpacking SkyTools3

Stupid DVP was clogged so I had to make part of the journey via Don Mills. It actually worked out pretty good. On non-rush hour times, the third lane is available. I probably could have continued up to York Mills.

Arrived at Phil's shop on Steelcase and backed into a parking spot. He came out. "I could hear you," he said. Then suggested we take two cars so I could make a rapid getaway. Giddyup.

We lunched at Shopsy's. Before the great corned beef sandwich arrived, I let him open the package. We found two separate stacks of nicely printed cardboard optical disc covers in bubble wrap: Standard Edition isolated from the Pro. We counted them. He took a Pro for himself. The Pro package had two discs vs. one.

I reviewed the waybill. My address was correctly specified by Greg, with the correct door noted. Silly postie I guess didn't read that...

Next stop: Diane's shop.

Then: the Blue Mountains... Phil suggested a route different than my plan. He suspected that Hwy 400 would be bad, with early cottage traffic. He told me that they always take the 404 as far as it goes, right to the end, to Greenline. Cautioned me that Davis from the 404 would be too slow. Only at Bathurst would they come back down to Davis. Then continue, as it changed to Hwy 9, on into Orangeville.

Should have photographed Phil happily unboxing.
