1200 miles in 24 hours without sleep kicks yer ass......

Went to Phoenix and picked up the Speedster replica. Traffic on the I 10 SUCKED!!!!! 10PM in Blythe...still over a 100F.....speed was limited to 55mph due to traffic, speed limit laws and the fact that @ 57...the ass end started doing the blue fin tuna boogie.....heavy truck, short trailer and a Ford F-150 with a racing six banger with less HP than my 914....

At least 10 accidents in the 500 miles from SB to Chandler (a suburb of Phoenix)....got there around 1:30 AM.....unloaded the traded truck.....loaded the Speedster, did the paperwork thang and was on the road to San Diego to meet V8 Sean......

Tried to catch a few ZZZZs on the side of the road at like 5am....did you know it can be 90 plus in the desert at 5am and that flies BITE.....so fired it back up and fortified with Red Bull(s) and intestinal flatulence made it to Sean's by 11:30am.....24 hours on the road....

He pulled the motor while I had hallucinations and checked out his cool house...interior has 1/4 sawn first growth redwood from early 1900s.....decided it was too freaking hot to slam it in the Speedster, so in the truck it went.

Next stop....Moms....Orange County....did some honey doos...grabbed some rack time for 2 hours and just hit the door at home 12:30 am....2.5 days later.....

Manana (actually today) is the wif's B-day....I get to ride in a bus to the Magic Castle for the whole day...I'll bring earplugs and maybe catch some ZZZs, w/o the flies....

Pics tomorrow when it's light out.
