Shhhuuuuuuuunnnnn-nn!

Feeling a bit like that cat at the moment, got a bunch of stuff to catch up with. BorK will get going again today here soon.

Thanks for the posts guys.

So we headed out friday morning to do a bit more sight seeing and get on the road to vegas. Scott was having a bit of trouble with his truck. It would just die while on the freeway. Happened 4 times while we tied up loose ends trying to get out of town. The issue came up before a month back and he took it to a shop to diagnose the problem, but when the shop had the truck the issue did not appear. So going 80 MPH down insane freeways his truck would just die and we would have to cross many lanes of traffic to pull off on the shoulder and give it 5 minutes to chill and it would start back up.

I was going to continue on with the uhaul to get his stuff and myself back to Lincoln. The decision was made to see how far we could get since all his school stuff was in the uhaul and without it he would be hosed. Traffic in Cali is horrible, the truck died a few times and we just kept on going. Scott noticed the temp gauge would shoot up when it died. We filled the radiator up which was darn low and the rest of the trip to vegas was issue free. We really hope that was the fix cuz we have many more miles to go.

The uhaul (actually a Penzke) is the scarriest thing to drive at 80 MPH down mountians I have ever experienced. It is cram packed and drives like a tank. Every uneven bit of road makes the whole thing wobble in the scariest way. I am white knuckled scared shitless driving it. And the packed interstate 15 to vegas literally made me have panic attacks where my hands tingle and I breathe heavy. It is severely stressful. We are trying to take it pretty chill. the rest of the way. Bombing down twisty mountians is just too much for me to take.

I needed a break 40 miles out from vegas and we pulled over at Buffalo Bills and I freaked cuz I have wanted to ride the desperado roller coaster for so long. It was awesome. The tallest coaster I have ever ridden, but so rough. Made it into vegas and slummed around a bit. We gonna get some good sleep and hit the road hard tomorrow.

There is a hooters casino. Really small, but all the dealers and staff are hooters girls (well mostly)

In n out burger was pretty darn good. I went with “animal style” hold the onions and really enjoyed it. That is one tasty burger.

internets pretty crappy here and I have lots more pics to upload and stories to tell. Have a good weekend yall. Not much left but tons of miles for me.

Anyone in Lincoln, right now over at the Russ’s on 66th and O, they’ve got free samples of Fat Tire and Abbey Ale. Way better than free samples of Chex mix or whatever. It kind of inspired me to start drinking early, thinking “if this old lady giving out samples is down with drinking in the early afternoon, I may as well too”. So go get a free dixie cup or two of beer, then head downtown for Gene’s show. Hurry!

Holding off on the inn and out burger till today, but had a delicious Tommy burger last night. The cheese fries were darn good and the burger was pretty good. Cooked on a flat grill so it had the crust. Apparently getting it with the works and chili is the way to go, but I just got it plain. Bacon was not an option.

If you use the internet at all, you’ve probably seen this video this week. But, it’s terrifyingly amazing and as such deserves a post.

6pm, sort of an FAC. Hope to see some of you peeps down theres.

I will apologize if you’ve already seen this.  I hadn’t and its pretty cool. 

If your brain works normally this is neat. 

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black ‘+ ‘ in the center, the moving dot turns  to green.

Now, concentrate on the black ‘ + ‘ in the center of the picture. After a  short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only  see only a single green dot rotating.

It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the  pink ones really don’t disappear. This should be proof enough, we don’t  always see what we think we see.

had the best flight of my life out of Omaha. Sat next to a bunch of cool guys who were down with having a few brews. We made good friends, and good friends with the attendants. Good chance I will be hooking up with them again on some dirt trails in Omaha.

Frontier airlines is awesome, or at least the fine stewardesses we got to hang with.

Well it looks like I will be spending some time in vegas. Might get to meet Heidi Fleis at her laundromat, serious. My friend was wondering if he was gonna bring his puppy back and well he is. So we getting a dog friendly hotel for our 5 hours of vegas. He was friends with Heidi so we might swing by and say hi. No dude ranch yet , which is a good thing

Picked up a car cig adapter with a USB connection and that will keep the ipods and phone alive during the trip. Not sure where I will get internets, but will post crap as I can.

Theresa got her braces today and it was not too painful. She is adjusting and I think she looks cute as hell.

Might take a bit to load, butt it is worth it.
