Sunday:
wake up, load up big wills SAAB and hit the road. We get to 6 Flags Six Flags area and its raining real hard and realize the headlights are not working and the voltage is low so we grab a hotel and the cheapest one is a $130 for the night.
Monday:
wake up, Start driving again (knowing the headlights still dont work) we just get out of the grapevine and about 50 miles from Bako and the car starts rattling and we pull over and its dead, very low voltage and wont turn over. Call a tow that costed $160 for a 3 mile tow to the nearest town. Sit most of the day in a car that wont start and realize the serpatine belt is shredded. Mike from Freaks in Bakersfield to the rescuse. He shows upwe push the SAAB onto his trailer and hit up autozone. We got a new belt but brake the idler pulley spring thing (I know technical term) putting the belt on so we ride into bako with mike. we stop a cheao ass $40 hotel for the night.
Tues:
wake up, we try the SAAB dealership and ton of other places that dont have the part we need and it has to be special ordered. so we leave the car at mikes in bako and head to the greyhound station and get on the bus to salem, we realize greyhound sucks balls, lots of stops, all in gettos.
Wed: after being on a bus for 20 hours and geting no sleep we arrive in salem at 9:00am and I got to work at 3pm and had to pull a 10 hour shift on no sleep.

Will still needs to fly down to bako to pick up his car up after the parts come in.

Loooooooooooooooooooooong trip home.

That sux dude.. almost as bad as my plane trip out there.. well probably worse but here it goes.
11:00pm on tuesday night was my last smokey treat because the parents don't know i smoke.. and don't want to get into that fight w/ them... eh long story.
10:45am Wed. morning arrive in Orlando Intl Airport
Flight is scheduled for 1:15 to Atl.. got there early because of security sucking so bad in Orlando.. i get in the gigantic line and this guy walks up and says "you don't fit the profile so come with me" i'm like "awww crap" cause i think i'm about to get searched threw their random searches.. but instead he just lets me pratically walk threw. So i'm at my termanal like an hour and a half before i'm scheduled to leave. We get on the plane and the captan comes on the pa thing and says "were experiencing a leak in the front of the vessel and need everyone to get off the plane" Come to find out its a leak in the toilet.. the plane trip is 45min to ATL.. but i have a 2 1/2 hour lay over so i'm not too worried (yet). 2 hours later they call everyone back on the plane.. they fixed the leak and were ready to fly out.. so now i'm like well.. now i only have 30 min to find my other plane in ATL which can SUCK. Were still sitting on the plane and the guy comes back on and says that there is a Tornado warning in ATL so we can't take off until there is somewhere to land in ATL. So we sit for another 45min. Once we arrive in ATL i was the first one off the plane and was hauling a$$ threw the airport trying to catch my connecting flight.. just to arrive 5min after it left.. welp.. Delta put me on standby for the next flight to Sac so i was told that we would be loading on the plane in an hour... and it usually takes an hour + to get threw security in ATL.. and there were no smoking areas in my terminal.. and i didn't want to get lost.. so still no smokey treats and were at about 6pm. They come back on the pa and say that because of the weather conditions and the delayed planes still landing.. we were pushed back another hour.. so now i'm pissed even more... cause i could have gone looking. Meanwile Matt aka Grant Fab is wondering when i'm coming in.. so it wasn't only screwing up my plans but Matt who lives an hour 1/2 north of Sac. SOOOOO.. i finally get on a plane and i get placed between a married couple on the middle seat. She was complaining about something and her husband was ignorning her.. FINALLY she asked if i wanted to switch seats and take the isle.. so i'm stoked. About the time i fell asleep the attendant rams me w/ the beverage cart.. and i'm talking seroius.. it ripped a hole in my jeans. 6 hours later we arive in Sac and it was midnight calli time.. so i traveled 15 + hours and no smokey treats in 27 hours.. i was FEENIN! Getting home wasn't nearly as bad.. but it was defenatly worth the greif. And Sparkindog.. it was nice to meet you.. Wil was cool as hell and do you know what was in that blue drink.. cause i want some more!
