You might see my Dad. He's flying in to Vegas from Jeddah, KSA on Wednesday....but I doubt it

You another one of Darth Vader's sons? Whoops- Jeddah - I thought you said Jedi. :crackup

I'm here. Left at about 11, had breakfast in Barstow at the Denny's, got to LV at around 3:45ish. Gusty winds at various points along the way and a bit chilly at the higher altitudes (gets up to almost a mile above sea level don't cha know...) They had closed two left lanes of the main artery out of town for the purposes of patching about ten inches of blacktop - that cost me about 40 minutes.

Anyway, I'm here, and maybe it's just me or a bad mood, but this town looks rediculous. I get that people come here to get drunk and get laid, but, seriously, can't they do that at home? maybe it looks better at night.

Here's the Strat at the Barstow Denny's...

Glad you had a uneventful trip.
Put $2.00 in a winning slot for me.

Have fun Alan.

Looks like I will get to ride this week-end, high 40's or low 50's.

Just remember Alan, it's all about the journey, not the destination. Have a great time! :2tup:

Had my meeting today with my new overlords and tomorrow will be heading back to Southern CA. Didn't actually go over to the Pawn Stars Gold and Silver because:

1) It wasn't that close to the hotel.
2) It's not actually open 24 hours.
3) There is often a line to get in. I don't wait in lines unless it is the DMV or if Milla is taking numbers. Well, probably not even the DMV.
4) Everyone that has been there said it sucks and now they don't like the show anymore.
5) If one really wants a Chumlee shirt, one can buy one on-line.

I did snap a few pix for Water Warrior after dinner...

Thanks Allan. Good pics, especially the last one. I really can't wait till spring really gets here and I can go exploring on 2 wheels with a couple cameras.

Actually I am trying to think positive and create a desire to get out.
