Ah - it's 6:20am and I'm up and gotta get rolling. I keep hearing the alarm clocks of Matt and his room mates going off every 5 minutes, but so far no one has actually gotten up except me.


We had a cracker-assed butt kicker of a thunderstorm last night at 3 in the morning and Matt had to go outside and run around in it, Which might explain why I won't see him this morning before I leave! (hell, I'm not even sure if he came back in last night - maybe the storm got him?)

I'll tell ya (before he can stop me) - Mr.Punk ain't that much a punk. He's been rather a gentleman and a great host. We had a great day yesterday and (besides getting killed in the storm) it has been a really cool mini-holiday for me. Mrs. ReinMan might not have enjoyed it that much, but for me it was just what the doctor ordered.

Too bad it's a 7 to 8 hour ride home but that is the price you have to pay for a life of Adventure and Cheese Eating!

Drive safe.

What great thread to read! Reindude ya should do this every month! Great fun!

naiko thats pretty damn cool....

Did you check the safe and family jewels he may have taken them with him!

for a second I thought Reindude had "SANE SANE" written in his t-shit...

Great thread! makes me wanna jump in the car and go visit Blurker! It would be a SLIGHTLY longer trip though!

Okay folks! I have arrived safely back in Canada!

Though, as you can see I'm a bit hot n' bothered. (not in the GOOD way of being hot n' bothered )



Left Matt's at about 7:30am this morning and finally crossed my own doorstep at around 4:30pm this afternoon. I took a couple breaks, so in all it was around 8.5 hours of driving.

It was WELL worth it though - had a great time with Matt and his cool (present and future) room mates.

(though, for some reason, I have no interest in beer at the moment! )

glad you made it home it was tons of fun

Meh.

Be a MAN for GOD's SAKE!

(Blue is worth it... trust me on this)

(I'm just not sure what "it" is...)

(be VERY careful if you go... )

Very Nice Dude! (I learned how to say "dude" very well while I was in Portland. They say it MUCH nicer than the dudes in Seattle say it.)

Loved seeing and hearing the entire adventure.

And just in case you think Matt made it all up about being a boarder:



He showed us some pretty cool tricks! One of them, if I remember correctly, was called "Falling Down". He had that move locked IN!!!
