Lost

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Well I did it today.  I have had this little game for a long time.  I remember doing it back in Boy Scouts.  Go out and try to get yourself lost.  Its actualy pretty hard to do sometimes, cause the mind will find ways of not letting you do it.  But I went for a ride today cause I was bored.  Sky looked like it was straight out of the Simpsons, so blue with such white fluffy clouds.  I took off and took back roads up to Clarksville.  Then I wanted to get home by way of Dickson.  I have done this before, so I saw a road I always wanted to know where it went.  Plus I have been on highway 48 too many times anyway.  So off I went…50 miles later I ended up back on 48, about 3-4 miles north of where I was.  So one HUGE ass loop.  I was so lost at one point I found a place with a cross road sign and good cell signal to find a way home.  One good thing about the Treo is Google Maps app on it.  So I was two turns away from 48, but never would have known it.  Problem was the river.  You cant cross it but at like 3 spots from there to Nashville.  So that kept screwing me up.  I couldnt believe I actualy felt lost enough to get directions.  I was amazed.

No longer a virgin

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Yup been on an airplane now…  It was mostly non eventful.  Tho Calum gets jumpy at any slight bit of turbulence.  It was nice being almost 1000 miles away in just a few hours.  That trip would have cost me around 32 hours of my life just driving there.  It was a fun weekend tho.  Good to see a bunch of old friends that Ive not seen in a few months.  Like those guys a lot, just a bunch of cool racer dudes.  Weekend was long as usual.  Anytime you are working on cars it just seems to just go on and on, then you never seem to get enough sleep.  Then put on that the flight, I was beat the last couple days.  Still a little tired and not getting enough sleep.  It will work out soon.

Now its back to work and sitting here waiting for stuff to do.  Got stuff I should be doing but at the same time I dont want to do it…  Ok back to work.  Oh check out the video of us breaking in the motor…  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JRzTTTZ31M
