ThursdayGot home on schedule just after 5 and staged gear. Wife got home at 525 and backed the truck to the cart, gave me hugs and kisses, wished me good luck and took off with her sister. 20 minutes later I was getting on I10 and a few minutes later I [...]
Woke up about 45 minutes early, as usual, loaded remaining gear and rolled. Family out of town already so got fresh homemade coffee, ahhhhhhhh. Stopped at Cash Magic to find bearded lady not there but replaced by energetic brunette lady who was actually cleaning instead of holding up the counter, quite [...]

Friday - Day 1 After about 4 hours restless sleep, got on the road Friday at 4. No sausage biscuit but some good, rancid, gas station hot coffee. Talked to a couple guys at the launch and met Josh Redd for a 6AM takeoff, just like the tournament would [...]
