I'll leave home in time to be at Mr D's around 11:30 or so. It takes me about an hour to get to Kingman from the South side of Havasu.

I might have to cut the weekend ride short a day... 
Driving a U-Haul loaded with tons of crap, And pulling a heavy Jeep behind it sucks, And has pushed my arrival to kingman 1 day later. This thing is a death trap! I was battling strong winds yesterday, And snow today in New Mexico... <_<
My night time driving is non existent due to the headlights being so far out of adjustment, And no way to adjust them without breaking the tabs... :angry2:
So, I will be unpacking on friday, But will meet yall for lunch at Mr. D's, And catch up with yall on the way to Phoenix for the rest of the fun.

https://weather.aol.com/forecast/todays/us/...andler/id/85225 What in the Hell is going on Zonies! With the wind chill it got down to 34 freaking degrees here in Phoenix last night. If I wanted to live in a Shitbox, I would move to god damn Michigan!

As we had discussed Adam, you can't rely on crossing the country in a U-Haul breaking any time records. I've gone the U-Haul thing a few times myself and learned to take the journey in stride and not have too high of expectations.
Drive safe and we'll see you at Mr D's.

Tell me about it. My ride to Vegas this morning was in the 30s. Glad I got the electric jacket. I was supper toasty and did not go over medium rare on the heat.
Call me when you get here Don.

Weather around here is supposed to warm up, but it sure isn't looking like it is.
Current temp in Kingman is "46 degrees but feels like 38 degrees". I'd rather have it be 46 and feel like 76.
Saturday will be a high of 70 in Kingman,
Las Vegas 70 on Friday and 75 on Saturday,
Chandler 80 on Saturday and 85 on Sunday.
Supposedly no wind by Friday anywhere along our route. But then the wind was supposed to stop last Tuesday and its blowing hard right now.

PINHEAD..........I can't see any reason why you couldn't make it out to Zoonieland!!
Your current temp reads "6 degrees and feels like 6 degrees", but on a possitive note, its supposed to warm up to 36 degrees tomorrow. Sounds like tank top weather!
[SIZE=12pt]Is that you Pinhead?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]As long as you keep it under 80, you'll be fine!![/SIZE]

Left home at about 8 this morning and went up the hill into South Lake Tahoe....Went down Hwy 89 and over Monitor Pass and on to Hwy 395 into Mammoth Lakes and down to Bishop for the night. Not a real long ride (300+) but a cold one. Temps were mostly in the low 30's with the lowest being 26 degrees and the high was a balmy 41. I hate to say this publicly but Old Michael was right when he told me that it would be cold. There is one advantage to the cold... No bugs! Will leave early in the morning and ride through Death Valley and then over into Nevada.... See you guys in the early afternoon....Rich

*******.Hey, Old Michael, Leaving Vacaville around 1pm. Want to ride along?
Did I give you enough notice?
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
And tell Dr. Rich he's a ******* too.
If only I were a man of leisure- like you two knob-polishers- I'd be putting on my gear this minute.
Would LOVE to have made this trip, but that "work thing" prevents it. Give Beemerdons a man-hug for me.
Me - "Knock, knock."
HYCLE - "Who's there?"
Me - "You're a *******, that's who!"
Have fun, boys. Ride safely.

Spyderbret and Eeksnake: Chris and Bret, you are our Las Vegas hosts so anywhere you guys pick for breakfast on the mountain top is fine with us. My girlfriend Rena's flight was three hours late arriving from Houston. Southeast Texas is getting hammered by rain and she barely made it out of Lone Star State. 8am departure from Rancho Casino tomorrow!

El Presidente: As soon as I hit send, Rena and I are boarding Ingrid, our BMW R1150RT; and heading up to Lost Wages, NV.
We're going to take the scenic way through Prescott, adds an hour, and fifty miles; but it is a much prettier and scenic route.
Dr. Rich: Look for us at the Casino, I am a tall and handsome Irishman, with a pretty redhead on my arm. You're a "Dane"!
Spoke to GalaxyBlue-Adam on the phone this morning at 8 and he's good to go. Big-D, I'll see you and Duke at Mr. Dz's Diner tomorrow at Noon; bring marcusorelius along with you guys, if you want. HYCLE: Mike, 8am hotel departure 10/31.

Damn, I'm just now reading about this going on in my back yard!
Sorry GB, to say that my life has been a hectic mess turned upside down, inside out, and had a large quantity of "wtf" poured all over it would be a vast understatement. I've had almost no free time lately, and going online to chat with friends has been next to impossible.
However, I've been to the Heart Attack grill and will take any excuse to go back there. Make sure to bring you camera's boys!
