OMG, Stupid Work, lol
I spent the day packing up the my gear, and figuring out how best to pack things in my van. I had everything totally wired with the Trailer (those overhead cabinets I built were the best). I spent like 1.5 hours scrubbing out one of the nasty smelling truckboxes that came with my van. I scraped out all the crap astroturf, lining all six surfaces. I even poured paint thinner on the inside walls in an effort to dissolve the glue that held the stinky turf in place. Now the box doesn't smell like hell, but it does smell a bit of paintthinner even though I hosed it out. Anyways, I was able to pack most of the travel gear and get everything neatly tucked away in the various truck boxes. I just have to throw my bike, batteries and blankets in, and I'll be ready to roll up north for my ride on Saturday.
Oh, anyways, the reason I couldn't leave today: we're working on some device drivers and management software at work, and we couldn't nail down the process, so we have to continue tomorrow. That specific process uses way too much data for my satellite to handle, so I'll have to do it at home... Hope we get it working tomorrow, otherwise, I might need a mental health day on Friday!
