I guess there’s not much to say. My big trip to Seattle was shortened to a three hour ride on the interstate.

Riding on the interstate isn’t fun. It’s not scary or anything like that, it’s just not fun.

Before I left Portland, I stopped in at Corazzo to say good-bye to those folks.

I felt really at home in Portland. A lot of that was because of the town, but a good chunk was because of Ashley. Hey, thanks! It’s great to have folks in places. I think this is the first town where I felt really at home. Woo!

The ride to Seattle was lame. There’s a ton of really great things to see along the way, if you leave the interstate. But I just didn’t feel much like traveling. I wanted to get to Seattle, but just didn’t want to travel there. Makes sense?

One big concern is the scooter. The spark plug boot came off at a gas station - that’s not good. And after that, it was idling weirdly. It would be fast for a second or two and then slow down. Over and over. Why would it do that? I’m not sure. But I turned it off and started it again and it was fine. I wonder if I need a new spark plug.

So that’s my big day.

I arrived in Seattle around 4pm and it was great to see Ryan, Jaime and Jeff again. I’ll be here for about a week. Hopefully that week will be action-packed!
