 The printer set up well enough but even though the desktop could see it, they wouldn't talk to each other. So I took the badge stock down to the print shop along with the other stuff that needed printing, and they came out okay. So did the registration forms. I wish I could say the same for the program book, which I didn't set up properly...so the covers are 8.5x11 portrait while the inner pages are 8.5x11 landscape folded. LOL. 

What with having left the packing until Tuesday afternoon, and stops at the Family Dollar in Beatty (for munchies and water additives), Amargosa Springs (for urination & trash disposal), and the CFA at Sahara & I-15, I wound up getting into the Stratosphere around 2100 or so and being assigned a room in the Select Tower that was supposed to have two beds and no fridge but in fact had only one bed and a fridge, I slept very well but only until 0400, at which point I woke up ravenously hungry, so I made use of the McD's app and got a super cheap breakfast, after which I hammered out a catchup link dump...and shortly thereafter went back to bed for a three-hour nap before hauling ass up the 15 to the VA.

Dr. Lal was very happy with my wounds, and afterward I hit up Jack in the Box for food and Sonic for (more) food and fluids before heading down for the NSSAB meeting...which went on and on interminably. On the other hand, they're going to send me to Oak Ridge in September for a week, so I can't complain too much. 

Tomorrow it's off to the Plaza, where I'll hang out with the sales people until check-in time and probably dip out to Sam's Club to pick up fluids after dinner. And then Friday, we see how it goes.
