I have a couple things to write about. Firstly, I'd like to announce that I have successfully disabled the passlock system on my car. When it did it to me again after I'd had the remote start system taken out, I was finally motivated to exhaust the web in search of an answer. I found the answer on a bbs somewhere on the web. The solution consisted of starting the car and unplugging a wire. No cutting of wires or connecting of wires to make the job more complicated. Thanks to Denny for researching this problem for me, his solution was right on the money.

Next I'll report on our trip to STL to play softball. We all got up early last Saturday to meet at the Price Chopper in Blue Springs at 6am. We all made it, and were on the road by 6:05. Our first game was at 11, and we arrived about 90 mins early. We spread the first team, and won the second game by 3. That's where our luck ran out. The third and fourth games were lost by 1 and 2 runs respectively - the third game going 10 innings. The fifth game was a complete embarassment. One of our guys got mad for some reason and cussed out the umpire - leaving us with only 9 guys to play. In his defense, we were getting horrible calls all day, and it's hard to play against another team AND and umpire. BUT, you have to keep control of yourself if you want to win. We ended up getting spread early in that game, and because of the jackass who couldn't control himself, the team left STL with a bad taste in it's mouth.

Lastly I need to rave about this device I've recently had the chance to use extensively. It's a Palm Treo 700. It's a phone and a PDA which has the ability to 'sync' with an Exchange server so it's owner can send and receive emails from wherever they get a cell signal. It's got a 330 mhz processor, it runs Windows Mobile OS, it's built on the sturdy PocketPC platform, it's got outstanding battery life, and it's totally expandable and customizable. I whole-heartedly recommend the Palm Treo 700 to anybody who's in the PDA market. With the new Windows OS, it's a joy to use.
