It was easy to get up this morning. It was like getting up at 9:45, not 7:45. We got things put away and were on the road about 8:20. The late start was because I had to pump up the tires.
The drive was pretty uneventful. Tucson didn't really have any traffic and the construction is finally over. Phoenix was it's usual annoying stuff. The 330 loop hasn't had any progress that I could see in 6 months.
There were two pains in the ass. First, the 25 mph west wind that I'd been fighting for two days became a 25 mph North wind today. Therefore mileage sucked again today. The second was the gas station on I10 in Phoenix. Some asshole in a box truck had parked so that there was no way for me to fuel up. We had to drive over almost to highway 60 and take a small detour to get fuel. I also fueled up in Wickenburg because of the wind. I really didn't need to.
I decided to stop in Kingman because I like the place. We were there before 3, so there was plenty of time to do the wash. The fuel pump at Kingman wouldn't read a credit card. So I had to go inside. I had to give them a dollar amount, not a gallon amount. They didn't even know how much the fuel was. So I put in $40 and called it good. That will get us to Las Vegas even if there's a wind.
We finished the wash and then went to dinner. It was OK, but not as good as I remember. The stupid wifi here will only let one of our computers on at a time. Ellen logged on, so I couldn't. When I tried to log on, it still wouldn't let me. Crap.
