BORED!!!!!!!
Leaving for the Blotch run Thurs....
All my meals are prepped, rig is set to go, gear is all down and with the exception of the coolers and clothes Im packed.... Basically all I have to do is sit and WAIT for THURS!!!!!
My garage is FULL, so I cant DO anything out there really....
IM GOING BERSERK!!!!! 
This is WHY I do projects in the WINTER and into spring.
It keeps me BUSY and OCCUPIED.

He still has some crap in my house and the storage shed but for the most part we are freeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Of course he is only 12 houses away so I made two trips down there last night to help him with stuff.

Back home, safe and sound!
Actually, the rig did pretty well on the grades (as good as it can). That one NASTY MOTHA coming back north before you hit Bridgeport is the worst of it. I just turned the hazards on, plunked the shifter into 2nd, rapped it out at 3.5K and chugged along at 45 up that grade. I had always been afraid to run it like that, but it did fine and didnt heat up.
The weather down there was pretty shatty. Windy all 4 days, and temps in the low 60's for MOST of the trip. We went up Papoose *(?) canyon and camped up at 9K ft, and FROZE OUR ASSES OFF!!!!!!
The washboard heading out the the Sailine springs was the BEST I had ever driven it. It wasnt a free way or anything, but I was pleasantly surprised at its condition.
Its always a BLAST with those guyz...It was the 20th year for this run!
This was the run that had started it all for me.
I cant wait to do it again next year.
Thanks for the well wishes, and I AM blotched out.

The town of Darwin...
