That is an amazing shot of the blade. I aways wondered how long those things are. It really puts it in perspective!

John,
If you leave right now and bring another driver with you, you still have time to make the GTG in So Cal. We'd even let you bring the newer SUV. Double Dog Dare Ya!

I took my sis back to N.Carolina a couple years back and I drove it in 3 days with sleep stops the first two nights. I did it all myself as My sis wasn't up to driving. I just out to I-40 and headed East and ran up the speed and set the CC. and BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY! Arrived in Chadbourn N.C. approx 3 p.m. on the third day just as the Hurricane hit Wilmington N.C.! I'm about 90 miles northeast of LA.

If it works out later this year (probably late spring or in the summer) my wife and I will be making a road trip trek from Michigan all the way to Salem Oregon. (and back) Still undecided on the vehicle to take.....we'll see if I trust the 300E enough by then. I've driven it over 1500 miles so far without being let down....but I've driven my diesel 70,000......and its done Florida and back.....we'll see.

Ugh, sick of Vegas... First night lost $50 in the 2,4 hold em tables and tonight lost another 50 today in a tournament. Went from the chip leader to out in 4 hands... Damned pocket jacks, flopped a jack, guy caught the flush on the river...

I'm not much of a gambler, and this is only re-enforcing it.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll take in a show.
