Just got in, finally.

We left Clearwater at 9:30am Monday morning. Drove to Piss-stain Mississippi to take a look and possibly pick up a 5.2 for a guy in Omaha. Turns out it was soft, so we were back on the road. About 2:30am near butt-punch Arkansas I was getting extremely tired and pulled over to swap with Dan. I get out, and theres steam coming out from under the hood because the bearings in the water pump took a crap, and grenaded the seal. Good thing I stopped when I did, we were losing water at a pretty good rate. So seven hours later with a new water pump we're back on the road. Got Dan's last evening and after a few Greygoose & Redbulls I wasn't too enthusiastic about driving another five hours and I crashed at his place.

I love vacations, but after being gone eleven days I'm glad I'm home.
