03:39 pm - hmmmm
Moderately cool temperatures. Overcast, occasional rain, a bit of wind.
Could this be the mysterious "Fall" that I've heard so much about?

08:46 am - No work today.
About 4:00 this morning my stomach and intestine said "Blowout sale! Everything must go!" And it did. Bleargh.

08:13 pm - I need a hug.
I forsaw when I started this trip that I might have some trouble sleeping while staying at the Yaris Hilton, so I picked up something to comfort me and help me sleep.
Wait for it...
wait for it...
waaaaaiiiitt for it....
It's a CUDDLEFISH!
07:08 pm - Smells like a mystery, gang.
I'm currently in the back of my car in a KOA campground outside Salem OR, just off Enchanted Forest Way. There is a run down, possibly deserted mini amusement park at the front gates and I am creeped the fuck out. I have to sleep here tonight, and I swear to god I keep expecting to see old man Wilkins in a bigfoot outfit running around scaring the locals. Scooby Doo, where are you?

09:28 am - Funny thing about Vancouver, it's on the West Coast!
A couple of notes from the road:
The drive out here was the longest one day drive I had (950k), and my back was good after 12 hours on the road due to a five dollar neck pillow I had stuffed behind my back for lumbar support. Best purchase of the trip. GPS a close second.
Driving through the Coquihala (sp) there was juuuust enough smoke on the wind from forest fires to have me craving barbecue like nobody's business by the time I got to Van.
Strawberry banana pancakes from IHOP! I'm officially on vacation.
Yesterday I spent two hours shopping on Commercial Drive, two hours walking through Stanley Park, and another hour trying to remember where I parked my car in Stanley Park. D'oh!
Some of my purchases were a couple of CDs, one of which was a tribute to Iron Maiden by the most random assortment of heavy metal musician you've ever seen. It's like they put everyone's name in a bag and did a random drawing. Talents lever ranged from the sublime (George Lynch, Nuno Bettencourt) to the interesting (Lemmy, Chuck Billy) to the silly (Chris Jericho? Really?). Paul Di'Anno, have you no shame? ("What's that? You want to do a tribute album to the band that got really famous after I left it to do a solo album? I can sing a song from one of the albums I did right? Can I get paid in cash? Sweet! I'm in!")
The other music purchase of note: Lee Press-On and the Nails, a jump-swing album featuring a rollicking version of Hot For Teacher.
I ate possibly the richest dessert I've eaten in my life last night. A piece of chocolate 'cake' which was essentially a giant chunk of chocolate ganache. Covered in chocolate and caramel sauce. Oi.
If anything, this trip is going to feature some interesting sleeping options. I've been on the road for 2 days and I've slept in a Murphy bed and the back of my car, and tomorrow will probably be in a motor home.
Speaking of which, I would rank my first night in the Yaris Hilton a C. Some easily tweakable things can probably bring it up to a B-, but for this trip, that's about it. Needs a firmer foamy, the crossbars across the back of the fold down seat are more prominent than I had initially thought. Next trip will be better.
And now, left over BBQ and white cheddar mashed potatoes. Mmmmm.

10:46 am - I'm leaving town and I ain't comin' home no mooorrrre...
I'm officially on vacation come Friday night. I was thinking about going to Vancouver. I talked to my boss yesterday and extended my time off to 3 weeks. My trip to vancouver has expanded somewhat.
15 Days, 8 cities, 3 football games, 2 baseball games, a soccer game, a casino, possibly some golf, and maybe church in Salt Lake if I'm feeling repentant.

09:25 am - Why you shouldn't clean early in the morning
Because dishwashING liquid isn't dishwashER liquid, no matter how much your befuddled brain may want it to be.

Now that I realize how much Rob Halford looks like Paul Shaffer...
