More difficulties with the remoteness of our new pad

A wrinkle! ACK!

Because of a day's delay from U-Haul, my drive was pushed back by a day. Initially that just meant doing all the hard work (unloading and returning the uhaul, renting a car, etc.) on Saturday instead of Friday. However, we have learned that there are no rental car places actually open on Saturday evening near the storage place. So I have to be ready to rent the car on Saturday morning...

ACCELERATE!

Instead of taking 3 days to get there, I'm pushing it and doing the rest in 2 days. It's only 11 hours each leg, so not terrible. I'm pretty comfortable in the truck now, and as long as I take a few breaks along the way it'll be fine.

Beyond that, today's drive was good! Everything went super well today. Traffic was very light being Christmas, and I got to drive in a snowstorm for the first time in years. When the air is cold enough, the flakes just deflect off the window without leaving a mark. Pretty cool huh (aaayyyy)

I managed a quick video (while driving, but done very safely I promise):


I'm checked into my hotel room and will be vegging in front of the TV until I pass out. 

Goodnight all, and Merry Christmas!
