My first GPS application was a 19 in rack mount connected to a computer via 
IEE-488 bus.  It was too big for the drone so it only gave launch 
information and the plane had to use dead reckoning to keep track of 
itself.  Now I have one that fits in the palm of my hand and displays 
everything on a small screen.  Another is about 1.5 inches square and 
connects tot he computer via USB.

Time to stop playing with the computer.  Yesterday's adventure 
continues.  I walked out to the garage Friday to find a growing water 
puddle under the water heater.  Yesterday was spent taking the old one out, 
digging out wet wallboard, waiting for things to dry, running to the 
hardware store, cutting and installing sheetrock.  By yesterday evening I 
was losing things right in front of me so it was time to retire to a nice 
bottle of New Belgium Brewing 2 Degrees Below.

Today I have to mix a batch of concrete to seal off a small hole, finish 
the sheetrock, tape and sand, paint, install water heater, solder relief 
valve plumbing, wait for water to heat, shower, and maybe have two beers.
