Home again

We are home. Safe and sound. Nite all!



You see the strangest things...

JGC count: 2



Near Abilene

Largest wind farm in the US





Dinner/Lunch

What? Are they killing the McPig in back?





Eating in Odessa then back on the road.

Home stretch

We are now officially back in Texas






Smells like Mexico

Going through Las Cruces





Just for Jim

Jim, the seller is reading this. He just called Brian and asked for more scenery pictures. Well, by request, here they are.

In New Mexico, getting close to Las Cruces









Hey!





Exploding doritoes

They popped in the Arizona mountains. Got them on the way to LA.

Doritoes at 7:30

Yum



On the road again....

Got a late-ish start today. On the road about an hour ago.

Just saw some Stott racing truck having something to do with NASCAR.

Yee Haw

He can't get his card on the room slot

Zits in bad places...

So we hit Arizona after getting two new rear tires near Palm Springs.

Long story (and lost previous post) AZ sucks for traffic. They change the speed limits. Lots of unmanned speed cameras. Lots of construction. Lots of cops.

We are safe at the hotel, and Beyonce is tucked in. Night to all

Arizona

Hello Arizona!!!
Hello 75 mph speed limit

Real estate


We can always buy some cheap land near the prison apparantly

Note to self

Do not pickup hitchhikers near state prisons.
As the signs state.

Tread separation

The amazing massaging car


Looks like one of the rear wheels lost a weight. Car Feels like one of those massaging chairs.
Looking for a tire shop on the way to stop at.

Jerry rigging on the go

So. I am riding, and we didn't get a chance to hard wire in the radar detector. So. The first stop. I grab a knife. The wiring kit and a multimeter.

This is what I was able to come up with on the move. Not pretty but working like a champ.





Coincidence

So we are near LA. Because of that, I asked Brian what the most exotic car we'll probably see. I said a NSX. Har. Har.

Well. We saw *another* NSX





I like your corvette mister!






Up and atom

We are alive and well. Got on the road about an hour ago. About to hit I-5.

Gonna catch up on some posts from yesterday.




The batmobile all taped up.




Yeah.. Space is tight in the back. TWSS

Brian and Tony

We are at Katy Bloom's in Campbell. We met Brian's wife's uncle. Here they are:

We are so gay for each other






Picked up the car

We just picked up the car, and Brian and the seller are out for one last test drive. I am awaiting their return.

Looks like the seller got his new toy already:




P.S.: so my laptop died. All of the plans for using for the trip are for naught. I think it's the video chipset, so that may mean a whole new motherboard. FML

At least it should still be under warranty

Laptop

Seems to have died. Yay! So great to carry 10 lbs of worthless crap around





Unfortunately I didn't have room fo a book. Unlike Brian......






Note to self:

Tools and airport security don't mix
