Weekend Trip

Looks like we got back in town just in time. The day after we left Georgia Katrina came in leaving all sorts of destruction in her path. I haven't mentioned much about this trip because of obvious reasons. I talked with the guys at Thomson and they seem like a good group, they put in big hours but I guess it goes fast if you enjoy it. Now we just need to decide if this is something that we want to do or what. The area is pretty cool, we drove around some and went through the Air Force Base here in town

After looking around at some planes we decided that we had check out the sushi situation. Tom made us some increadable rolls. We got to talking and he said that this shrimp was his special.

As we were leaving the place we heard some people in the parking lot talking bikes. We went over and started talking to them about local rides and trails, ect. Sounds like they have some decent trails down there but nothing really special, within a 2 hour drive at least. Something to think about before moving. So that is that, and we will have to wait and see what happens.
On the way home we stopped in at the Atlanta Speed Way, totally sweet!! I guess in June they got nailed buy a tornado and did something like $4-6 million in damage. One of the securty guys took us for a ride and got to do a lap on the track. Cathy could hardly contain herself, it was really cool! We hadn't planned on it taking that long and that put us big time late for our plane. We busted out of the Speed Way and cruised to the airport. We got our car checked in 35 minutes before the plane was supposed to leave. The ticket lady told us that if we ran we MIGHT make the flight. We were chucking through the airport so fast!! Cathy was upfront clearing traffic and I had all the bags doing a full sprint. We got to our plane and with only 5 people left to get on, THAT WAS CLOSE!!
So that was the weekend, I don't know if we could have packed anything else in, Oh yeah I guess we did. When we got home we had a going away party for Jim Peterson, soon to be 24 Hour Solo World Championships participant.
!!!!!GOOD LUCK JIM!!!!!
