Light posting tonight and a roadtrip

Feeling a bit tired -- check email and then off to bed. Planning an interesting roadtrip at the end of this month. The National Blacksmith's guild is having their annual convention in Memphis, TN at the first of June (2-5) and I wanted to attend. Considering that my new truck needs to be carefully broken in and that I have not been on a road-trip for longer than I care to think about; I will be driving down instead of flying. Heading down will be a three-day slog as I have a local event to be at Saturday, May 29th -- I will leave Sunday morning, spend the night in Salt Lake City (15 hours) and spend Monday night in St. Louis (15 hours) and get into Memphis Tuesday afternoon (8 hours). After the conference I will take about ten days driving back. My Mom and Dad and I used to vacation every other year in Colorado and Wyoming so I will retrace a few of those routes including the stretch of highway where I was first given the opportunity to drive a car (I was 12 at the time). We are doing the remodeling at the store over the next three weeks so it will be a nice deadline to work for and a nice vacation after. Posted by DaveH at May 4, 2010 9:00 PM
