We got my brakes fixed today. When I took my car to Steve Shannon in PA before we left for the trip, they told me that my brake pads would last me well beyond the 15,000 miles it would be until I had my car in again. Looks like they were wrong, because 5,000 miles later, the brake pads were worn down so much that they were grinding against the rotors. Fantabular.
We went gallivanting around today shopping, going to the bookstore, getting gas, touring Chico Hot Springs Resort, and running other errands. We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Lennae and Jim’s for Jim’s dad’s birthday — steak, crab legs, baked potato, sushi, green beans, and salad. It was all very delicious.
I updated my profile on the homepage finally. I really actually do more than just work for Netstar-1. We are processing the new photos now — there are over 200 and it will take a while to get them all up. Sushi last night went over very well, and I have a picture of the sushi spread that I will be posting when time permits.
We’re heading out of Montana tomorrow for Mount Rushmore and the Corn Palace, then on to Chicago to meet up with Kelsey’s friend Jon, then back to DC!
