Where's Weirdo?

Can you find the xB? 

From the beach

I finally found an open access point that I could connect to for a while. Hopefully there are more in this area. Tonight I got busted for skating and the trunk to the xB was left open. Not the best night because it took me about 15 minutes to figure out my one big bag was blocking it. This internet is shaky at best... I am off.

El Rodeo (the rodeo)

I took a trip to the local Honda Bike dealer today and looked at all the cool bikes. They had plenty of Shadows to go around but my favorite was the goldwing. That thing is bigger than the xB.

I just got back from downtown Raleigh and had lunch at El Rodeo which is a cool little mexican place. I got the Enchilada Supreme and it was awesome. If only my stomach was as happy as my mouth was.

TigerDirect Store

I thought this store was going to be sweet but it was just lame. I get their magazine full of ads every month and sometimes they have good deals but the store just remind me of some run down local computer store. 

Cruising music

Great album! 

Driving Around

Me driving. 

Sheetz

This is the biggest Sheetz in the world (from what I have seen). It has plasma tv's inside, 24 hour drive thru, and dine in area the size of a normal Sheetz. 

Vacation Part Uno

Today at noon I left Beaver Falls and headed south to Raleigh, North Carolina to kick off my vacation. I have this week off and will be hanging out in Raleigh for a few days and then I am going to meet up with some friends at Myrtle Beach for the rest of the week.

The drive today was approx. 550 miles and took 9 hours. 550/9=61.111111111111 and so on. That means I averaged over 60 miles an hour. Not bad for the 108hp xB. I used about 1.5 tanks of gas and averaged over 30 miles per gallon. 550/30=18 gallons of gas at 2.35/gallon=$43.08. (all calculations were done within a 3% margin of error)

Three important things happened on this first leg of the trip...
1. I saw an 18-wheeler slam on the breaks and lock the tires hard enough for them to smoke.
2. BuddyLee is on tour now and I passed his tour bus.
3. I almost ran out of gas and the closest gas station was in this super hick town in West Virginia. The gas pumps must have been from the 80's because they weren't digital, each pump offered only one type of fuel (87,89, or 92 octane), and didn't accept any plastic (credit cards) at the pump.

More to come as long as I can find free Wifi!

Oil Change 3 (I think)

I got the oil changed in anticipation for my vacation. More details soon.

Living on the Edge

I moved out of my place of residence this weekend and moved most of my belongings into storage. The most important of important is now living with me in the xB (Table PC, iPod, camera, phone, etc). I am living with a friend for this week and next week I am driving to N.C. to visit friends and then onto Myrtle Beach. I can't wait for vacation.
