Month: June 2012

I left Kent, WA. early this morning in the rain. By the time I’d navigated up to the Pass I was surrounded by semis in a furious downpour when I hit standing water on the road. It was at that moment that me and my new little truck bonded.

The new used Goodyear tires with great tread that P.J’s mounted for me yesterday for $170 balanced, taxed and out the door, held their line and we made it through without a wiggle!

I’ve been cruising all day down the Southern route, through Boise and I’m now sitting at a Rest Stop due East of Twin Falls. I’m hoping to extract just enough juice from the distant neighbors to launch this post.

Bottom line: the truck is performing amazingly and if you’re reading this son, thank you and I love you!

Greyhound is just pathetic. The trips are long and drawn out and most of the passengers are just slow, sad and loud. Oh, and they all smoke!

Anyway, I’ve arrived in Seattle and I’m sitting at the Pike Place Market overlooking the waterfront. Not a bad day, a little overcast and the aromas are just driving me crazy. As soon as I post this I’m going to grab a pork Hum-bow for a morning snack.

Riley and Jess are heading up here this morning to grab me and maybe have some Chicken Adobo. They should be here in about an hour or so.

Sorry I can’t post any photos, all my connect tools are stashed away in my backpack but I’ll take a bunch today and post them tonight back at Riley’s place.

The truck is almost in my hands…

Update: I’ve just processed a set of photos I call Driggs To Market. These are shots of the Butte station, the diner across the street where I ate, along with some market shots and a couple from the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure that was happening up on 2nd.
