errands and stuff

ok, its 109 degrees here.
that. is. really. fucking. hot. ha.

went to cvs, got my prescriptions, then went to the clark county animal shelter so i could get sascha registered. there is a huge dog park here for her to run around and play, but you aren't allowed in unless the dog has a las vegas tag on their collar. so, i got that done and im going to take her to the park tomorrow morning before it gets too hot.

went and had some breakfast at this place called the bagel cafe. its like a new york deli. completely orgasmic. whitefish salad that would make you slap yo momma.

after that, i decided to go the wynn to play a little blackjack (shocker, i know).....won $750 in 20 minutes. since i have no job, i took the money and rolled the fuck out of there with a quickness.

going out for dinner with amy and some of her friends in a bit. thats about it for today.

viva las vegas

ok chirrens.....we made it to vegas with no problems. the drive from new mexico to nevada is completely awesome. 580 miles, we made great time, and it was so completely beautiful.

coming through the mountains is amazing, and we drove up I-93 through the hoover dam into las vegas. totally amazing. the only time we had to slow down was when we hit a major rainstorm outside of flagstaff arizona.

will post more when i have time.

off to vegas

well, we are off to vegas today, we'll be leaving around 12. its 580 miles from albuquerque to vegas, so it should be a pretty easy drive (unless we get another fucking blowout).

ABQ is a totally cool town, i can see why people live here. very laid back, totally beautiful, nice weather, low cost of living, etc.

we've been staying with seths friend tanya, she was gracious enough to let us stay at her house for the weekend.

yesterday she took us around town for the tour, and we drove up into the mountains so we could get a view of the entire city. its something like 10600 feet above sea level. the view was AMAZING.

anyway, thats all for now. we need to get cleaned up, get some food, and get ready to roll. there is incredible food here, we ate at a place called frontier on saturday....the most unbelievable breakfast burritos on the planet. so, we'll have to go get some this morning before we leave!!!

continental tires, mercedes-benz and oklahoma can all suck my balls

those of you reading this know that i am on a cross country drive from maryland to las vegas. i have my friend seth and sascha-dog with me. we drove from maryland to dallas straight through no problems, spent a couple of days in dallas hanging out, and then set out on friday for albuquerque new mexico to stay with seths friend tanya. perfect scenario, its like the half-way point from dallas to vegas.

in the middle of oklahoma (erick, oklahoma, in case you want to look that shithole up on a map), we blew out the back left tire on my car. this is the 2nd flat i've had since i got this damn car in march.

i have the sport package, so my car wears continental 245/40/R18 low profile tires. now keep in mind, these are the tires that mercedes puts on the car. so, you would think that perhaps a mercedes dealer might have one in stock......

no. such. fucking. luck.

the closest mercedes dealer to us was over 200 miles away, and no tire shop anywhere had a tire even close.

we had to drive on the spare (not fullsize, by the way) for FOUR HUNDRED FUCKING MILES at 50 miles an hour to albuquerque, where the local dealer here was able to put on an 18" continental tire, but its the wrong one. so when i get to vegas, i need to order a new fucking tire.

mercedes-benz customer care is only open from 9-5 monday through friday eastern time. lets just say i feel bad in advance for the poor bastard in the call center that gets my call.


estimated time from dallas to albuquerque 12 hours
actual time from dallas to albuquerque 19 hours


mercedes, oklahoma and continental can all kiss my ass

dubya

ok, so we made it to dallas in record time. left kensington at 2pm and rolled in at 830 in the morning. drove all night through. i am a highway MACHINE, bitches. word.

sascha was cowering in the back seat the whole time. it took 12 hours before we could even get her to drink some water and eat some kibbles.

props to seth to helping me stay awake on the drive, and 2 snaps to eric for watching seths 2 dogs while we are on the road trip.

will keep you posted, heading to new mexico on friday.

will post when i can, not sure how much internet access im going to have on the trip....
