Lost In Space....On the East Coast this time

What up People:
My title of this blog is called "Lost In Space..On the East Coast this Time" because of what happen to me on Tuesday afternoon. But before I get to that, I wanted to start off by talking about what happen before lunch time. I am still working on that dam PC that I have been working on since I started. Not knowing that what the ___ is going on with it. The Dell technician came out to bring me another hard drive and another CPU for the motherboard. I already installed a new motherboard and hard drive, he brought another hard drive just to make sure. Anyway, he came 15 minutes before lunch and installed the CPU and hard drive. He tried to install the OS this time and still wasn't successful. I went to lunch while he was still working on this PC. After I finished lunch, I ran into Francie, who was on her way to lunch, informed me that he had gotten the PC to start loading the OS. I was like really, thats cool. She said that all he did was unplug the network cable and it started to work. Now, I knew it was going to be the stupidest little problem that I wouldn't of ever think of, because I learned at IT that when you think you done everything you can to a PC and it still doesn't work, it is always the littlest thing that you wouldn't think of and that is what happen here. I never thought about the network cable because that never happen to me before. They say you learn things everyday and that was my thing that I learned.
The next part of my day...Francie wanted me to drop her off at this car rental place so she can get a car for the next day. We were headed to Westminster and I was driving her car. She wanted me to follow her back to New Windsor and that was the original plan. When she got her car and we started to take off, it took a few seconds for me to loose her. I started freaking out because I don't know my way over here at all. I've been to Westminster a couple of times but I guess not enough to remember how to get to places. One of the things was we took the back roads to get where we were going. That didn't help much. When I lost her, I tried to get on the same road that would take me back to the center. I thought I was on the road but evidentially, I was on another road that led me to Baltimore. I was really freaking out then, I went on different interstates, not knowing where I was and if I was going to get home. The reason I went so far was because there was no place to make a u-turn or stop to make a phone call for like 30 miles. I finally ended up at this place called "Dollar General", a store that sold everything one-dollar. I finally made a couple of phone calls and got a hold of Francie. She gave me the directions to make it back to the center. The directions were good because I didn't have any type of problems on the way back. I got lost around 4pm and didnt make it back until 5:30pm. I praying to my Lord and Savior big time, and He came through for me, once again. This was a story I wont forget. I say "On the East Coast THIS TIME because I had gotten lost before, coming back from Sonora, going into Angels Camp in California. Then there was another time when I was going the wrong direction on the freeway 99 after working on a clients computer a few years back. This time wasn't the first time I had gotten myself lost. The only difference between this time and the other times was that the only thing I had to do was make a u-turn and go the opposite direction from where I was going. This time, the interstate and taken me to other interstates and I was going North to West to wherever. I didn't know if I was going to make it back or not. I was more freaked out and scared this time around because I was in a new zone where I had never been before and had absolutely no knowledge of getting back home. My only hope was to get a hold of Francie and that is the reason why I am here writing this blog tonight. After I got back, I called Glenn and told him about it. I feel I can laugh about it now, but definitely not then. Well I will check back in with you all in a bit.....Peace!
