Californian 245
Two trips. First involved great american music hall shows and rain. Second trip was definitely a smooth tiresome adventure. Lost more money gambling in california than in nevada. Got two numbers on the mega millions and won $3. First number 04 and power ball 20. First and last.
5 hours across Nevada wasn't too bad. Half way across the sun went down and the temperatures dipped into the 20's and later teens. A 10 plus mile fog bank hiding the road a car length or two in front. Still and 50 mph I was being passed by semi trucks. Wendover proved to be a safe spot for the night. Happened into a few people I know and lost $5 after 5 hours of blackjack. Went up a bit and should have gone home with a bill.
In no particular order my top 10.
1.Cruise control kicked it.
2.SFO is the coolest airport in its own sort of way. $50 plane tickets.
3.Flying in from the northwest in view of Golden Gate Bridge and all of San Francisco. Then down the peninsula with a quick U-turn directly over Stanford University.
4.Fish Tacos/ and later when they hit me while at the Pic n' Pull in Sparks.
5.Snow 8 feet high on the side of eye 80.
6.Getting a small suite at a Super 8 for $55.
7.Pic-n-pull front tires $32 including a michelin. Pic-n-pull in Starks, NV almost convinced me to stay another day. Got a turn lens RF, rear view mirror, and voltage regulator off a brand new alternator. In case the alternator brushes where worn down I'd have a quick fix in the middle of Nevada's frozen terrain. Gave it to me for $5 (worth $26).
8.The sunshine somewhere on the bench between Auburn area through to Reno.
9.Frozen frosted trees in Wendover.
10.Making it home safely.
