Hey Henri!

 HD> I am using a hardware RTC with battery on the GPIO connector from:

I am probably going to go with this;

  http://www.bc-robotics.com/shop/raspberry-pi-power-rtc-hat/

Notice it takes care of two issues, input DC power and the rtc, for $35 
Canadian.  Also BC Robotics is a local company and is where I got the raspi3 
from.  Also, also his neighbour makes custom cases for raspi's and has exactly 
the one I am looking for which is a vesa mounted one which means the 7" monitor 
I have and the raspi3 become one unit which makes it an excellent mobile unit.

 HD> So no RJ45 EtherNet router or WiFi needed as a clock source.

That is EXACTLY the idea.  Thank you for the confirmation that it is a *good* 
idea.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
