Yeah what's the latest about the internet?

I have got 4 more hours here and then I'm on the road!
That's an advantage of living close. You get to leave a little later! ha ha

I am staying at Blue Waters Mountian Lodge.... The internet works fine here ... I was @ Fontana yesterday and heard (from someone in charge) that the highspeed internet will work in the lobby at fontana and some of the rooms in their main building...

Yes... however.... leaving early allows for several good runs on the Dragon, Allows time for washing the MINI, getting stickers before they are sold out and so on....

The gig earlier, which keeps me in town tonight went well. I loaded an entire set of drums in the back of the MINI. Nothing in the passenger seat.

I wouldn't want to drive them all up to the jam, but I was pretty amazed.

The Dragon Wagon made it.

I am here staying in front of cabin 506. Come by and see the dragon wagon in all it's "majesty".
