Default Colorado for a week

Anyways I'm in CO now. Grand Junction 30 miles over the western border. My dad hooked up a computer for them with no internet at first until.

We went and bought a 802.11 G piggybacked and the thing it fast as hell. One of the fastest connections I've seen.

wow!

That's weird. I thought you mentioned you were going to Winnemucca over the weekend.

If you haven't already, you should be getting our storm anytime now.,...

The caddy is such a boat to drive the dampers are almost gone at friggin 170k miles. The northstar engine is a champ though:

When we were going through the salt flats to SLC a very interesting yellow vehicle was spotted coming up fast on my dad which is odd b/c he NEVER gets passed on the freeway unless something is going wrong. Anyways as the yellow car pulls closer my dad tells me he thinks it's one of those EVOs(he's been reading some of my magazines that I left around, and now he knows quite a bit about the cars which is cool). When it passes US we are going 93!! It was low and modded with an exhaust and various other things. Needless to say my dad steps up his game with shouts of defiance from my mother in the back seat. 123 mph for a good half an hour trailing 3 car lengths off a modded EVO.


Yeah Debbie I went to winnemucca as the first stop of the trip to drive the rest of the way to CO with my parents. With some bad weather it took us about 9.8 hours which was stellar time.

Weather is nice here no snow yet just partly cloudly, it's nice to get away from the white blanket!

Well, at 123mph, that took an hour to 2 off the trip right there!
