    May 6 - called Mom to confirm she would be in Coffeyville over the weekend.

    May 8 - Fully charged, estimated range 232 miles, started at 3:15 AM for Memphis. Used 'speed limit' to reach chargers. Thereafter, hopped to arrive at ~4 PM:
    • Memphis; Brinkley AR; Little Rock; Ozark AR; Lowell AR, and Joplin MO.
    Mom's house was way too warm so I got a room at the Best Western, pet friendly, and got a good night's sleep. Interesting, it appears the ends of each motel have one, live 120 VAC outlet. So the car added 30 miles while I slept.

    May 9 - Attended Sunday services with Mom. That afternoon, attempted Zoom with brothers but still find the Android-Zoom interface 'obscure.' I'll reverse engineer a user's manual and share with everyone. I have an unfriendly opinion about an App that requires a home-brew manual to use <GERRRRR>. By 3 PM, headed home in the reverse set of SuperCharger stations. There were a lot of road construction delays.

    At Memphis, I was very tired and took a cat nap while charging using the cell phone as an alarm clock. I wanted to reach home but stopped at Cornith EVconnect station to put an L2 charge enough to reach home.

    Long weekend, my Mother's Day gift.

    Good thing you have an electric car. The gas stations are starting to run out of gas. It's going to be a tough week if they don't get that pipeline in operation soon.

    It looks like the latest, is that they operating with limited operation the pipeline manually.
