I mentioned some in an earlier post but I thought you might get a laugh at my expense. Now I am NOT a bad navigator nor am I a bad route planner. To be fair I'm pretty damned good...but sometimes things go to crap. I left last tuesday at 1000hrs. Not bad you say? No, it was awful I was supposed to leave 0830-0900hr time frame. Should have been a hint. From Cut bank to Kallispell was okay except for dumb ass tourists. AFTER that things got "interesting" I didn't check for road construction...Kallispell to Missoula was fraught with road construction. Morons you could tell had NEVER been on dirt/gravel roads everywhere. Still not that bad even if the pilot truck had to slow down for the idiot at the head of the line (not me!). Missoula was nice, didn't stop to check the breweries...silly boy. Now US93 from Missoula to Salmmon, ID was twisty, STEEP both up hill and down hill. Now from Missoula to the border there had been a couple of sport tourers and maybe 3-4 harley tourers. Some how I lost them all on the way to Salmon...weird as that little ninjette isn't that fast. WTF? I may not set the world of fire and have been accused of being as slow as old people fornicating but damn... Now things finally got interesting no thanks to my missreading signage. Some how I ended up in Idaho Falls...damn signs. Not a problem even at 2400hrs I just whippped her over to Twin Falls, ID. No big deal right? Well it was that dang simple, until. Some how in Nevada I miss read the signs and took yet another wrong turn...son of b****, rotten mother humping sign makers. Ended up taking a very sceinic ride to Tonopoh, NV. 8^\ wtf? From there it's an easy jaunt to Las Vegas, NV in less than a 24hr trip. But I'm irked! Why the hell did my Holistic GPS keep guiding me off the intended route? What was wrong that I didn't know but the Holistic GPS did? not sure I really wanna know why.
actually I suspect the Holistic GPS was routing me around the police, wild life and live stock. It works funny like that sometimes... IF you are wondering it was installed OEM when I was born.
Yeah, I know. You brought that to my attention after that deer hit me. 8^P I just thought maybe you got sidetracked, due to an unexpected detour via the local ETs. ;^)
HEY! Watch it there bub...iffin it warn't for them there radon mines and my taking the cure there. I'd be limper than over cooked pasta! Now I'm stronger than titanium, harder than blued diamonds a cat couldn't scratch it! ;^)
Ah then I take it you've been downwind of Ft. Hood when we'd come back to the rear after spending the month of gunnery qualification for the DAT's. ;^)
