The Lone Ranger Rides, Again!

I just got my Prius Touring model with almost all the goodies for my 58th birthday (tomorrow) from my wife. We both went back to school to earn Masters degrees in Elementary Math. So this is a graduation and birthday, gift. She is due for her Prius on her birthday this August. We will be a two Prius (Prii?) family, then. As you might guess by my name, my horse is Silver. You will recognize me on a highway near you by my mask. B)

I am a teacher, so I will use my trusty steed to commute everyday, 14 miles round-trip, then, come summer I will be traveling this fair country to see all those historic places I've heard and studied about these many years.

* I am interested in running a laptop computer on board, if anyone knows how or where I can find information about this. (Thread links welcome)

* I am traveling with dogs if there are some good modifications people can turn me on to.

* I am interested in using the car with the backseats down at all times for the dogs and to take naps in or sleep the night in (bivouac) in from time to time, if anyone has some live aboard ideas or links.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hyo Silver:
Oh, that's fantastic: I thought about trying to enter Heigh-yo Silver as a name. Funny. Nice picture to go with that name, too. I'll look for a different photo.

Dave:
Thanks for the kind words.

 

Who was that masked man? Why, that was . . .

 

Edited: I finally figured out how to get a photo in the column. It was a simple little two-step but I didn't know what an avatar was, so I missed it. I thought an Avatar was a great teacher like Buddha. And when will I lose the "Rookie" ID? ;^)

Thanks for the response. I tried to contribute today with a new discovery on my part. I told my complete story in a thread called: "My Method: Pulse-Cruise/Neutral-Drive-Glide/Resume." I have not seen anything like it in my searches. I hope you will read it. It was in the Main Forum but they moved it to Fuel Economy. I felt it was a little wider in its scope than mpg. I used mpg as an indicator of how well it worked. Thanks for taking a look.

Pat,
