    So, my weekend started off on Wednesday....As I was going down the road, headed to my buddies house for Thanksgiving weekend, my car decides to throw not one, but BOTH belts. WHAM. No power steering, A/C, or most importantly, no alternator....

    So, I was stranded in the middle of freaking nowhere in Virginia. A place called Whaleyville. I had to wait for over an hour for my friend to come rescue me. We head to Napa, and bought the belts. (had to wait till friday for one to come in). We go and change the alternator belt in a parking lot with only an adjustable wrench....Fun.

    So then we get to his house, and I break the Go-kart we were riding..So there goes the weekend fun.

    Thursday was great. Tons of food.

    Friday...well....I got suckered in to going shopping with them. (friend and his wife)...AT FOUR IN THE MORNING!!!!??!?! I have never, and will never again, go shopping on black friday. Worst experience of my life. Never again. But, I did get a shitload of toys for my son for decently cheap.

    Then today, to top it off....I was within 300 yards of the base...and I get pulled over. 71 in a 55. Fucking sucks. I spent three years in San Diego, made multiple trips to Salt Lake City and back, and drove clear across the country, only to get pulled over really close to base...three days before I head back to California.

    Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Norfolk??

    Yea, VA is NOT the state to speed in. Be safe on the way back to SoCal.

    Yeah, luckily that's about the worst of it. Norfolk FTL.

    Thanks. Taking it kinda slow. Been driving for 12 hours and fell short of my day one goal of Memphis. I'm about 100 miles out.

    The race is on..... Who can get to your house first.... Me or you....bwahahahaha.



    Seriously though, I will probably be there about the same time you get there. That's the plan, anyway. When does your flight leave? I can't call your cell if your at 36000 feet.....

    My current route puts me in ABQ around noon-time. I'll just slow it down a little more if I have to.

    Well, I'm off. I keep checkng the 'C' at rest stops and gas stations.

    Call me anyway and leave a voicemail with your cell number. Once I hit the ground, I will call you.

    If you are already in ABQ, we can hook up on my way home from the airport.

    Can do.

    BTW, Arkansas roads are NOT fun to drive on with a stiff suspension.

    Retard.... I'm scared to even sit in the same room. Her dog hasn't taken her eyes off me... Besides, my wife already has a babysitter for Friday....
