Well, left Austin, TX on sat. and drove straight up to Omaha, NE to visit one
of my sisters.  As I passed from Kansas into Iowa(I went thru Kansas City), I
drove through a section with a horrible sticnh!  I then ran into a million
nasty bugs which leave a opaque yellow smear on the windshield.  Had a hard
time looking out the windshield for a while.  The roads in Kansas were pretty
nice by the way.  Not a big fan of Oklahoma.  Lots of cornfields out here in
Nebraska.

So I pulled up to my sisters place and she tries to move her car out of the
garage so I can park in it but won't start.  I spent today fixing it, bad fuel
injector.  Works now!

I had thought about stopping off in Chicago, but I dunno if that's going to
happen.  Might just drive straight on through to Detroit to visit my friends at
Ford.  Going over to D.C. next weekend.  And now I've just read about
this "Tail of the Dragon" road.... I might just have to check that out instead
of going straight back to Florida... Oh, I'll be in Gainesville for the next
two years at least.

So if you see a green 200sx with Florida tags, a Texas Longhorns sticker on the
rear, a big front mount and a big Greddy in the rear, that's me!
