Road Trip

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Good news! At first, it was looking like I wasn't going to make it to the conference, but it's been clear sailing all the way here to Deming, NM. I should have no problem making Tucson, hopefully on the west side of town tonight.

The only thing I need to nail down is the pink tutu. For everything else I need, there's a Walmart east of MGM on Tropicana I'll hit Monday evening when I get to town.

Glad you made it that far, take lots of pics for us who couldn't take time off

Time off from what? 

Just got in Tucson. A tad behind, but will make Vegas tomorrow, albeit I wanted to be there one full day earlier, but the ice storm in Texas slowed me down.

For about 200 miles on I-10 it looked like a war zone and there was still fog to contend with off and on for about 100 miles. All in all, it was smooth sailing.

I'm at Ramada in Tucson if anybody nearby has a spare goat. 

I paid half than what I did in Pecos, TX, at Motel 6, and have a helluva lot better room, full continental breakfast, and a speedy internet connection--but no goat. Bastards!

I wonder is Goat is planning on making it to the conference.

Got to Vegas about 10 PM. While in Tucson, I went to top off the oil (burned a half quark during the first 3,000 miles), and opted to put the oil in the power steering pump. Thanks to the invention of the turkey baster, I was able to suck out the reservoir, then refill with the proper fluid.

At the conference now listening to the Vencurrency guy, a last minute stand-in speaker due to a cancellation.

Yes, I'm donning a pink tutu.

Currently somewhere in Utah, home of the Bees Brothers and Austin and Beccy, staying at the Days Inn, again with poor internet service. Can't get it in my room, so I'm in the lobby at 4 AM local time, and now I have to take a shit, so back to the room...

Spent the night in Colorado, and should be in Nebraska tonight. The internet connection was great.

Question: Should I take off the pink tutu when I reach Iowa?

Just got back home, having spent last night east of Davenport, IA. Traveled ~5,200 miles.
