Just unplugged everything and got it ready to go. If nothing else, it stops me doing any more last minute fiddling / breaking / fixing.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I found the TX7 in the garage...need to check the Falcon etc. are behaving themselves and the pack up for an early start ,- given the 4+ hour drive each way...

Just realised that I still need to buy the tickets, so will sort that as soon as I get back from walking the Malamute!

Edit - bought the exhibitor tickets now...time to plug in teh Falcon & see how she flies!

Not sure quite when we'll arrive - aiming for between 11 and 12 but that depends on traffic and how many stops we need to make en route... :roll:

Those who were there last year, what was the plug socket situation like? I'm bringing a couple of four way extension leads but also can bring a long lead if we need one?

I'm bringing an 8 way and a 10m extension.

Long extension leads are a must.

Falcon boots and after a bit of fiddling it even allowed me to boot Logic 2.5...

I think I'm going to have to hope that everything else just works on the day or it will just be a static display item. :roll:

Now do I have any long extension leads anywhere...?

Found a 6 way extension cable but it only has a short lead...will see if I can find a longer cable somewhere in the morning if I have time.

Also, can I find the box of 10x AA batteries I ut aside for the QY70....? Nope...
:headbang:

Oh well, I might have to buy some en route tomorrow - it needs 6 to power it (and I can't remember how long the last, I think it's pretty frugal but I'm getting to the point where I don't trust my memory anymore).

It eill have to do for now though, so it will be a hope if goes OK on the day kind of setup I guess.

What else have I forgotten...post code for sat nav to get me lost...exhibitor tickets...fuelled the car...got some kit to demo (maybe)...dunno.
I'll find out on the day I guess!

See you all tomorrow!
