1345 Miles
Nothing like traveling almost 200 miles every day. I love cars, and they are one of the things I miss most about living in NYC. I love rental cars even more, as you can basically abuse the beejeezus out of them.
The trip to Texas was basically stressful therapy. On the bad side, my house in Lubbock had been thrashed, which cost me a lot of money. On the great side, I had the opportunity to do construction/repair work. Nothing is more fun than working with electricity while drinking good Texas Shiner beer. I am a bit glad that the house was empty when I discovered the exposed hot wires in the ceiling, yowling like a cat before dropping from the chair. Mistakes like that should never have witnesses. I also learned how to sweat pipe, which is the process of using a torch to melt lead/zinc as a pipe sealant. Very fun, and I could see how it could be a speedy way of doing plumbing.

Lots and lots of miles and in a rental. Too bad we didn't jump over in curbs in that nifty semi-SUV you had (what was it called again?).
I was so happy I got to spend most of two days with you while you were passing through. You look great and you've still got that awesome-ass humor... and an awesome ass, but anways... Not going there, too close to an incest thing, which never really sounded fun.
Keep the chin up and I hope everything you packed and had flown up there made in one piece.
Miss ya already and love ya bunches!

Hee hee. You said "sweat pipe".
Glad to see that you are having fun both on the open road, and in the company of friends. Play hard, rest a lot.
