Thinking of doing a route with Curt in mind, good roads and good photos for a ride report. Not that Curt has to go or anyone else can't go. 43 up to 220 to Covington. Humpback Covered Bridge, then up 220 to Falling Springs waterfall. 220 to 39, north on 92 up to Green Bank Observatory and the big ass radio telescope. Back down 28 to 39 then on to Marlinton, continue on 39 to 150, Highlands Scenic Parkway, back to Marlinton and then 39 all the way back to Lexington. Full day, good roads. good photo ops.

Count me in. This time I really want to stop and take pics. And good food.

Enterprise Resource Planning. Think one software system (database) to combine many different aspects of an enterprise. In this case, we are combining permitting, citizens complaints, internal work order processing, planning, zoning and the financial requirements (credit card, cash or check processing) into on application. Although we have a separate financial application for GL, AP, AR, Payroll, etc., this system will take the payments and pass that data over to the financial application for ease of auditing.

Once this rolls out we will add business licensing and beer permitting for vendors.

Wow...complex! Now one target for hackers??

I won't talk about security measures here, but it's pretty tight. There is a lot to it and while nothing is foolproof, the DB is not where the problem will be found.

Joe, whatever, whatever. Just wrap it up quick and hit the trail. Will not be the same without you.

Missing the BRPR this year, you guys and gals have a blast. The weather is supposed to be perfect for that ride and I hope it is. I've been to the Wattsull Inn 2x in the past 2 years and both times it POURED it's ass off. Thankfully both times it was after a full day of riding and I was within an hour of the hotel both times.

I'll be in my truck. I could stop by and pick her up if you don't want to go.

[justjoe]

Well, yeah. But you are okay too in a "not as nice as MA" kind of way!

Very funny.

Just booked a room for Thursday and Friday nights - may consider extending to include Saturday.

Two double beds if anyone wants to share.
