The Magic City Casino is about 1.5 miles from my hotel
Today and tomorrow are going to be B-O-R-I-N-G. I want to go outside and do something to pass the time. As I mentioned yesterday, the Magic City Casino is only about 1.5 miles from the Sheraton. It is taking all of my willpower not to go play poker. I also looked into playing golf at the International Links Melreese Country Club since it is right next door. However, greens fees are upwards of $200, plus I need to rent clubs, so I decided against that idea. I do have a small task that I can do for work, and I can go to the workout room and get in a run. It is VERY windy here today.
On another note, I got a text from CVS saying that my PCR test result was ready. All I had to do was click the link. I was kind of surprised by this because CVS had been saying that results were backed up by 2-3 days. However, the CVS guy said that I would have my results the next day. I was skeptical, but he was right! I had taken a home test and it was negative, so I was not overly worried. However, I felt the anxiety build as I clicked the link in the text to see the result. The website was making me confirm my identity. More tension built. Finally, the result was displayed. I scoured the page, scrolled down, and could not find the result! Tension and anxiety were still building. I was going MAD! I scrolled back to the top, and after SLOWLY reading everything, I found it! NEGATIVE! WOO HOO! I should be clear to depart for Argentina on Sunday. Hurdle one has been navigated.
My good friend and business partner Patrick, let me borrow his GoPro Hero 8 for this adventure. However, he removed the microSD card from it. He told me that a 32GB card would do nothing for me and it held less than 1 hour of video. So, this afternoon, I found a Best Buy that had a 512 GB microSD card in stock. I ordered it, took a Lyft to the store, and it was waiting for me when I arrived. There was also a Target there, so I picked up some dehydrated fruit – mangos, bananas, and dark chocolate covered freeze-dried strawberries. Wow the strawberries were good!
When I got back to the hotel, I found a Youtube Video about the GoPro Hero8 camera, watched it and got familiar with all of the buttons (and more importantly, how to use it)!
