    Yes! Believe me stay in touch with at least 1 person from your class. I had a buddy from class we called each other #### near every night to #####, brag, or just talk. You guys will learn, your family really wont give a #### bout your day to day stuff out here. They dont know it and they dont understand it, but your buddy you me in class will. Also helps being able call him when you're going somewhere hes already been.

    That VPN for your phone does very little to protect against credit card theft . Any legit site that asks you for credit card information is already going to be SSL encrypted. The information is going to be stolen whenever a business gets hacked that has your unencryoune information in a database. Or more likely to happen is that somebody will snag it at a gas pump using a card skimmer. Which leads up to k a piece of advice that can save you a huge amount of hassle if you ever do get skimmed: Never use your card as a debit unless that's the only option you have. Because then you're going to have to enter your PIN. Once they have that, then they've got access to all the money in your account and it's a lot more hassle fixing it.

    You're welcome.

    It's DNH, but it is an adventure just getting to the place. And follow the directions in the Qualcomm notes. DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR GPS. Your GPS will tell you to just keep on trucking up US501 to get rhere, and it is something like 21 miles shorter going that way and makes sense since the mill is also on US501. however... there's a truck length restriction on 501 between Lynchburg and the mill, and by the time you get to the sign that tells you, there's nowhere to turn around. You can get to the mill that way but it is VERY winding, mountainous road and I can tell you from personal experience that it's going to be the longest 10 miles or so of your life.

    Even going the According to Hoyle way if getting there is no picnic on the 501 part of it. Be careful, watch where your trailer is, and watch for oncoming trucks and yield to them if you have to.

    This is the trailer I'm currently hooked to, and I'm far too amused by it.
