Well, I headed across country (From VA to WA) on the 9th with my dad. The trip wasn't bad other than we got a late start due to some unforseen cercumstances with my car trailer and I was sick with the middle to late side of a flu. My trailer license plate decided it wanted to stay somewhere in Missouri (spelling?). All was well and we were making decent time until we hit Wilbur Wa and that's when the snow came on friday the 12th. I'm glad my dad had left his 4x4 at my brothers when he flew down because my 2wd Silverado wasn't feeling pulling that Camaro in the snow. After we got home I took the old salad shooters to the Les Schuab (local tire store) and grabed a set of studs for the Camaro. Though it doesnt do to bad in the snow with the studs, it likes to scoop up the snow with the air catcher thingy on the bottom. A 2wd Silverado doesn't do to good in the snow either I've learned even with 7 sandbags in the back, so I picked up a cheap 87 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the AMC 360 under the hood. Nice little rig and in 87 was top of the line with power everything and leather seats and it's in good condition for the most part concidering it has 18x,xxx on the clock. Also, I don't have much time until I go to WyoTech (Jan 6th) and still haven't gotten my student loans and such going. If anyone has any insite on how to get good student loans with super low APR's or a way to get some good grants for prior military I'm up for all options. Well, thats it for now. Hope all is going good for everyone else...

Missouri stole the license plate off my bike one time. I had no idea for about a week when I noticed the back of my bike looking somewhat naked. But it worked out nicely as I was needing new tags anyway since all bike tags are due for renewal in April.

And that sounds like a long, drawn out trip that you went on. Driving in the snow while road tripping sucks, especially if you're pulling a trailer.

I get to go back threw it to head to WyoTech too... damn snow... Not pulling the Camaro though. Leaving it at the parents place.
