jedi will be borrowing klb horse soon enough.

I've eaten horse meat.

Not fatty enough to taste good.

Fry an egg, sunny side up, serve the egg on top of the meat.

Thank me later.

Your not in Indiana are you?

Edge of Wisconsin. Stopped in MN. That was the goal of day 1, up and over with as many miles as we could. Getting up early the get those pesky miles under my belt.

Kid can sleep in his castle and the wife can hit the couch while I roll.

Another trip to Notre Dame to pack up Dasha's apartment. Spent the day there yesterday. Hopefully we get everything else in the truck today. I allocated 3 days, but will be happy if we can get it done in 2 days.

Most of the furniture is being given away/donated/dumped. Food in the kitchen is going to friends who are staying at ND for the summer.

But lots of personal belongings, kitchen pots/pans/dishes, bathroom supplies, some furniture, clothes (girls have a lot of clothes) . . . did I mention clothes?

This has been a long time coming and was obvious to all, as cars become more efficient with gas, gas tax becomes less effective. As gas tax becomes less effective, it has to be increased, as cars move to electric, the gas tax becomes obsolete so a switch to tax by the mile is the next step.

Yep. It's been talked about for a long time.

Not sure why they would need GPS. Just read the odometer and compute the tax. That would save me money over what Indiana charges me today, but I really don't care.

You know taxation is a just a con to steal money from people who work...

These roads they are supposedly using the tax money to maintain is proof it's all a con. We would be better off on dirt and rock roads with the condition of these roads around here.

If I am lucky this is my last week of online training. Next week it looks like I'll be going to Memphis for some hands on training with my team lead. I'm so looking forward to it.

Because it is Kalifornia
No normal state would need GPS
Simple miles driven would suffice for most
But he was referring to Kalifornia and that says it all

Bingo.

They want full control.

Saw an article about a road-repair contractor in Oakland, CA, who had halted work on a section of a re-surfacing project due to the area not being safe for his workers. Came in with the grinders and took the top surface off, then left it like that. Said he'd start up again when the city could guarantee his workers safety. Residents are all up in arms about the road condition.

Things have got to be bad when a contractor will give up the money coming in, because of safety issues. That's some world-class thuggery right there.

Raining here. Trying to enjoy the outdoors but I might have to call it and go inside

 

[bigretic]

Just overcast here. Lit the grill for some burgers. Doesn’t look like anything will make it here.

Literally rained 5ft to the east of where I'm sitting. Can see where it's wet vs where it tapered off in my direction

They had a $10,000 helmet, but I thought this was a much better value!

Last pick up load of "stuff"
We are done. Honestly I teared up a bit when we finished our last walk on campus. She was glad to be done, is glad to move on. Has a big $$$ job at Apple, starts in July. We leave for a road trip to take her out there late this month. Despite a starting salary that is greater than most Hoosier families with 2 incomes, Dasha will be living just above the poverty level in San Francisco because of the high cost of living out there. She will learn. She will learn the hard way. But for now its just nice to have her home for a couple of quite weeks before the trip.

Saw JEDI's murder van this evening.

Turned and ran away.

Drove early to make up for lost hours. The Corn Palace and Badlands (massive) did not disappoint yesterday. Wall Drug was the Buc-ees of the wild west. Got put campground spot for the next 2 days. Ridiculously close to the next adventures.
