the thing about squirrels is, they do what squirrels do best....They bust and then Eat Nuts.

Milwaukee.

13 cents shy at the last toll booth....he let me slide. arrived after 19 hours on I-90, I-80 hell-run, rain, wind, some crazy asshole driving the wrong way on a deserted stretch of chicago freeway and aiming right for me,, i digress, the terrible road conditions and the fact that chicago drivers are actually WORSE than New Jerseyites, no easy task, mind you.

so i guess i got all the death defying crap out the way, and can move on to vacation time.

thank you GH, that was absolutely uncalled for, and yet so needed.

it will go in the tank on the tank.

I may have to re-name the bike, "the Haunted Tank".

the scariest thing is, all of this is true, and you know it.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:15 pm

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:17 pm

Good evening Goathead.

going to pick up War End in a few hours.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:18 pm

any idea when your hitting Reno?

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:18 pm

Not quite finished on the last minute stuff. But I'm feeling confident about being ready.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:20 pm

you will have a good trip out, Warren is a great guy.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:20 pm

We're aiming for Reno on Friday mid-day to drop off War End at gAWD's place.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:25 pm

not sure if gAWD will be on the playa then or not.
Mz. gAWD will still be there though.

gAWD is as scattered as I am right now.

so much to do and

NO TIME.....

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:27 pm

Oh, well, that's what War End had for a plan and as long as we stop at Winnemucca on Thursday to pick up a hastily designed sculpture, I'll be happy.

I guess War End is driving a truck for gAWD, least that's what he told me. Otherwise I wouldn't even go into Reno, I'd just head right to the playa from Winnemucca.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:30 pm

hmmmm, I wonder if he is driving for Ace Manallow?

I bet he is....

thats sounds about right.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:48 pm

We didn't get into specifics except that he wants to go into Reno to gAWDs house.

Sorry went away to change laundry.

Time for another coffee.

Simon - I really wish you would post some pics or vids of your travels.
And I want to see a pic of your bike.

I'm coming for you, gh.
I love beer.
We shall drink beer together.

See you all soon!

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:50 pm

I'm having a hard time figuring out what to wear. Usually I pack desert clothes and a couple of silly things. This time I don't know what to wear for the memorials and the breakfast of mental health champions.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 11:51 pm

Hey Risky

Help me figure out clothes. It doesn't make sense. Can't wear what I usually wear, I don't think. Whadda you think?

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:24 am

Oh sure, pose a hard question and everyone buggers off!

A football helmet would be appropriate.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 2:09 am

Yeah, a sarong is a good idea. I'm just anxious I guess. The last nerves before leaving home.
