Arrived safely

Well, I made it to Seattle alright last night, after a few additional delays though. All in all, I arrived about 24 hours after I was scheduled to. Besides one flight being delayed an hour, then sitting on the tarmac an additional hour, the travel day was OK. But its always kinda late getting to bed at 1AM Pacific time when you've been up since 7AM Eastern time.

As I was flying from Philly to Seattle for 5+ hours watching the ground go by, I couldn't help but think, "Man! Thats a long way to drive!" But it'll be fun.

I spent most of today running errands and replacing a turn signal bulb on my motorcycle. Yes. Several hours total on that last one. For some reason, nobody stocks turn signal bulbs for a '93 Ninja... not even Cycle Barn! (I could have ordered some from them, but they would've come in about the time I was arriving in Texas...) So I got some that seemed likely would work from Schucks, but then the relay that makes them blink wouldn't work, so I went back to schucks to try some other bulbs (because for some reason they cant just put the VOLTAGE and WATTAGE on a LIGHT BULB PACKAGE - Or even have a list where I could look it up!) But none of those worked, either, so I ended up just doing a quick modification of the circuit so that the blinker worked with the lower-wattage bulbs. Yuck. I finally got it working and posted the add for my bike on Craigslist. I really will be bummed to see it go...

I did take a look at a car today. I really had no intention of buying it from the start, but I wanted to see it in person to make sure this was a model I'm interested in (a mid-90's BMW 325). I came away knowing for sure I didn't want THAT car (it had been abused a little), but pretty sure I do want a 325 if one comes up at the right price.

That's all for now... It looks like I'll be hanging out with friends in Seattle tomorrow.
