So I finally got to Vegas a day ago. I did 13 hours of driving on the Monday, and then finished up the last 12 hours of driving on the Tuesday. The drive wasn't that bad actually. Most of the trucks minded their lane, and my car has no real issues. I still had to putter through Colorado and parts of Utah because my car doesn't agree with the altitude there, but it managed. I did just about all my driving during the day while listening to the
greatest playlist so I got some really good views of Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. It's not really stuff that you can take pictures of, it's something you really have to experience. So I suggest it for anyone who likes scenery like that...
So got set up yesterday, and started working as well. I am such a workaholic sometimes. I actually had lots of time to think about business stuff while I was driving, so I've been working at getting some of my ideas on paper and doing some deeper research. We have a few good ones to roll with, so we'll see what comes of it.
Other things...I plan on redo-ing the splitsuit.com website. I want it to be easier to do on the backend (although you probably think not many things happen because it only changes a few times a month, it's a pain to do). So I will probably get started on that sometime soon, so if you notice the site is down, that is why and I appologize in advance. Also related to my site, I finally had my 5,000th unique visitor. Now, this is a very small site so having 5K unique people visit it is really cool to me. So hopefully you all are enjoying it =)
Oh, an odd story before I wrap this up. I was in Colorado after having driven straight through from Chicago (about 13 hours or so) and it was getting dark so I decided to pull off at a stop and get a nap in. So this was at about 11p, and when I got set up in my area, there was only a semi-truck with me. So I woke up at 2a, and I should note that my car is facing the curb which is overlooking a forest full of trees. It was also about 30*F, so I turned my car on to get some heat before figuring out if I wanted to drive more or nap more. About 3 minutes later a car comes into the rest stop (the headlights do not look like a cop car) and pulls directly behind me, trapping me in. I get fucking paranoid (rightfully so in the middle of no where, just waking up, and by myself right?) and immediately grab my knife. I thought for sure I was getting robbed. About 4 minutes later (I've been trapped in this whole time and debating whether or not I want to ram this car and gtfo) this cop comes up to my window and we have a 2 minute conversation before he leaves (and I never did anything more than open my window about an inch). Scary shit when you are still groggy and paranoid as hell. For anyone that ever gets in this situation, make sure you don't open your door and keep your car running.
So that was my excitement on the road. And on that note, I'm going back to work. Hope all is well with everyone!
