I’m on a 825 mile drive to do a fair in Nevada. Before leaving I did some preventive car maintenance, but on the way to the fair, about 200 miles into my trip, I had a major car problems while heading up a big hill.
I had to cancel my reservation down the road at a motel that has a great Internet connection, and drive to a nearby big city instead and get into a hotel here. And this hotel has a big sign proclaming HIGH SPEED INTERNET and…you guessed it…its high speed doesn’t work.
That aside: due to getting in late last night — and having to get up early to drop off my car at local mechanic’s shop, get a rental car, and head on my way (I’ll have to pick my car up on the way back) — I won’t be posting until much later today, at the earliest.
Please keep checking back for posts by our co-bloggers (who already have done some great new stuff). I’ll be out of pocket today until this is resolved. But I WILL be posting on this trip. This is quite stressful since this is going to be a MAJOR expense on what was already going to be a difficult, long drive.
NOTE: If you understand how blogging works, all of the co-bloggers on this site have other things in their lives. If you don’t see many posts on a given day, keep checking back because it just means it has been difficult logistically for people to post during that specific timeframe.
