Lips, Rack and I are leaving shortly for Oklahoma City, home of the 2006 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.  BOOYAH!

We'll be gone until Sunday, but will pretty much have Internet for the entire trip, including the car ride....

Dee-Nee!  Wanted to get the first post in the car on the website.  Internet in the car is hard to use due to exessive glare.  Gantry is having problems with the shakiness of his laptop screen.  All-in-all it is still 803.08 miles of ass- but internet and movies on the PC makes is easier...I hope.

Time to watch Four Brothers.
Here's your ball!

Getting off 355 has dramatically reduced the shakiness, laptop car Internet is the greatest thing ever.  Especially sharing Internet between two PCs.

My phone has full time Internet.  I can hook it up to my laptop via USB as a modem, then use Internet Connection Sharing to give Internet to the other laptop.  To top it off, we have a power inverter that lets us use our cigarette lighter as a power outlet.  Greatest setup ever...

This is Racktacular:


Just finished watching Four Brothers.  Very solid, solid movie.  Pretty funny too at certain times.  Highly recommend.  Big thanks goes to Lips for bringing the gigantic, over the head, professional looking headphones.  My earbuds didn't block out any of the music from the radio or the talking, but Lips' mega-headphones reduced the sound to just about nothing.  Dee-Nee.

I have to drive in approx. an hour.  Not looking forward to it at all.  Lips gets first rotation, then me, then Gantry. 

That is all.  Probably will watch The Last Samurai when Gantry is driving.

Oklahoma has a zero tolerance rule for speeding.  They will bust you even if you are 5 miles over, trust me I know.

From what I was able to find in a couple minutes, OK has a lot of those small town bull shit speed traps.  The highway patrol allows the locals to control the interstate in certain areas, so they drop the speed limit 10 mph and wait to fuck you.  The only time I drove through the state, all I saw were a bunch of shitty Indian reservations.

We're here, we're queer, and our $250 a night room is very unimpressive.  No speeding tickets and the wireless router is hooked up.  Full-time, shared internet no matter where we go...
