I'll be traveling again tomorrow -- up north, then to the east for my last embed of the trip -- so today was spent trying to get all my loose ends tied up. Since there's no proper laptop case or bag for me to put the new machine in, I've resorted to my own bubble of packing material to hopefully keep this thing in one piece for my last few days.
That's a whole mess of packing tape, one layer of flexible styrofoam packaging and two layers of bubble wrap. We'll keep that inside the unreliable backpack, and hope for the best.
It can't go down with three layers of packing stuff on it. Not with three layers.

Your packing job looks like a great idea. Maybe you should pack a holy card in there, too, for Divine Protection!!!! I continue to enjoy the posts. Stay safe yourself!!
OK. First off, I'm pretty sure that a laptop prophylactic is against Church law.
And placing a holy card in there would just add insult to injury.
If you learn one thing from this experience, it would be that the pen may be mightier than the sword, but the Dell is weaker than the Humvee.
(And for the record, Quinn wasn't the first post for once.)

and you scoffed at bringing chainmail with you... one thin layer of the stuff would have kept your laptop from any harm, and you'd look so stylish carrying it too... i oughta make up some chainmail laptop cases - could be the next big thing (since you all read this, legally, you can't steal the idea from me and make it first!!!)
good to see you have time to play with photoshop. i knew you were actually in a computer lab in Nevada somewhere. You had us fooled all the time, Next you'll probably say you're getting sent to the moon. HIPPIE!
it looks like blogger couldn't stand how awesome my posts were and exploded on you. Yet, i'm still here....
seriously, it's for the best. Leo was cramming my style and taking all of the attention. I declare myself lord of fort awesome.
Obviously, this is a government conspiracy. Bubblewrap on a laptop is a tad controversial for this administration. and those pictures of poppies blew the cover off our drug cartel in afghanastan. The goat? don't even get me started.
and fantasy baseball? come on. that's just asking for it. They shot Kennedy over fantasy baseball, you know that right?
seriously dude, hope to hear more from you soon. I've sold my pillow to some homeless children as penance. When I say "sold" what I really mean is "taunted them with ostrich feather goodness until their hollowed eyes swelled with tears." semantics.
annnnd we're back!
Quinn, you would have scored major points if you posted all that as Quint. But lord of Fort Awesome? Please....
By the way, my next stop is the moon. How did you know?
Try putting 3 holy cards in it. Nothing should happen to it with 3 holy cards in it--not with 3 holy card it can't.
Should it not survive then you are going to have to face the fact that "you're going to need a bigger lap top".
