First Night on the Road

We meet tomorrow night outside Lubbock, but can’t leave until we each finish our workday. So I’ve made a quick run out to a family place near Marble Falls so that I can get out of town faster tomorrow.

On the way, a milestone:

As I recall, 40,000 was just two days after I bought it, while on the way to Tulsa to start OAT East. Between that, Colorado in August (which I have yet to write about), this trip, and everything between, it’s been a great 10,000 miles.

That said… I think Blue is in a foul mood. The ’05 was usually okay until he threw tantrums that cost a lot of money — the great saga of the camshaft position sensors comes to mind. Blue, on the other hand, has presented me this week with pebbles in my shoes: three blown interior dome lights and the driver’s side windshield sprayer clogged up on the way here. Come on, man.
