On Saturday (yesterday) I drove 4 hours to pick up some things from my dad’s place, one of the items being a 2-3 year old mattress. Christine was nice enough to volunteer to ride shotgun and help keep me entertained along the 4-hour (each way) journey. It was a nice day trip, really.<\/p>\n
We stopped by Pea Soup Anderson’s as we passed through Buelton on highway 101. Christine hadn’t been this way before so I decided to also give her a motor tour of Solvang (AKA “Soul Fang”), which she seemed to find very cute.<\/p>\n
We arrived at my dad’s place around 1:00 pm and hung out awhile resting from the drive and talking. Then we loaded up the car and took off. One of the things I can’t seem to get comfortable about is when I have things strapped down to the roof of a car I’m driving. So for quite some time I was rather nervous that our job securing the mattress wasn’t enough. This resulting in 2-3 stops in the first 1.5 hours of the trip back… not to mention my driving like an old man. Once we reached Santa Barabara, I had had enough and decided to find a Target or some other place where I could purchase more sturdy rope. I ended up purchasing 50 feet of 1\/2 braided nylon rope – the kind folks use to climb up mountains – and lashing the mattress down to the roof rack in a very secure manner. It was just enough to relieve my apprehension and no longer worry.<\/p>\n
Yep, another post that isn’t all too interesting. Where did my funny go? Hmm? I think my brain is still waiting for me to pick it up at Pea Soup Andersons…<\/p>\n
