Sorry about the short notice, but think I am leaving Friday for Portland Oregon and maybe even Seattle Washington area.

Reason such short notice is because of the University Administration and lesser degree, been a not so good week. Still waiting for the cell phone replacement to be delivered by Oops (a.k.a. U.P.S.).

I have an assortment of wrenches, pliers, multitool, the factory tool set, emergency kits (automotive/human and dog), tire compressor that plugs into the outlet, folding shovel, blankets, flares, bungee cords, gaffer tape, bailing wire, five prefilters, one main filter, tire chains, tow strap, fire extinguisher, spare bulbs, power inverter, I think I remembered what I have packed. Anything else you can think of?

Figure if I can't leave in the morning, just will stop in Needles, California instead of Bakersfield. I am avoiding L.A. by taking AZ Route 95 from I10 to the 140. Also, figure more scenic with all the rain we have had and don't think I will ever be through there ever in my life again. I40 then to the I5. Most likely will go over onto the 99 then back to I5, as I5 is a pain and not many places to stop. Oh, and know the Grapevine will be a pain, especially coming back, as have a lot of stuff I am hauling.

I will be leaving tomorrow and heading back on the 27th most likely, as have to be in Sandy Eggo on the 31st.

Anyone able or wanting to meet on the way?
