heya greg.. (and the rest of the gang!):
Well, im certainly rev'd up for the trip.
Ive got about 2 gallons in my truck... but i may need to fill up before i leave, lol. Oil is fine--just got the vehicle serviced a month ago. Tires are at 6/32"...so i'm okay there.
I went to AAA to get some maps (there's a story involved with that).
Road music--im usually happy with whatever the antenna brings in... for the most part it seems like a lot of religous or country or spanish stations in the SJ valley, lol.. But i'm sure i'll be okay--even talk radio is fine.
I'll probably...
3am - wake up, shower, do my last bit of packing, load up, warm up the vehicle, do a DOUBLE CHECK to see if i left anything behind (( you know i make out a list on paper & pen, honest i do )).
4am - be on the road
9am - be finishing breakfast in Bakersfield 'somewhere' & stretching my legs
Otherwise, i like to take a break every 2.5 hours. I swear to you, it pays dividends in the long run. Even if i get out & stretch for 3 minutes, even if im not fatigued... i feel a lot better after driving 561 miles. One thing i'll do is i'll put $10 or $15 of gas in the vehicle (each time) so that will force me to gas up every 2 or 3 hours (or get a SLAB OF JERKY) at the mini-marts, lol.
Circulation in the legs is a good thing.
By, 1130 or noon i hope to be on I-15 & zoomin to LV !! But, greg, i know i'll be in the middle lane, cause the fast lane is for the LA crowd going 85 or 90 or 95 (yikes). No joke.
