    So, when I get up this morning (went and saw a late show of Transformers...was GREAT!). I will be unplugging the modem to return it to Time Warner. I may be able to find wireless service here and there, but I will be off the net for the most part until sometime on/after 21 July! Hope everyone stays safe! I'll post again for sure when I get to Montana.

    Push for Casper or beyond and you can make Great Falls easy on Thursday. Lots less traffic after you get passed Ft Collins Colorado and the speed limit increases to 75 in Colorado and North.

    Went from Amarillo TX to Sheridan WY....just a bit short of Billings MT, but a bit further down the road then Casper WY..... I am happy....835 miles. NOW, Tomorrow's goal is LUNCH in Great falls.....350 miles, just over 5 hours according to map quest. Not bad, and I think it is do-able!!!

    Trailer and bike are rolling real nice!!! just check straps at every gas stop to ensure they are tight.

    SO, I am now in the house and starting to become setteled...... almost have enuf room to take the bike off the trailer, SOME of the boxes are unpacked, but have lots to go. SLOWLY starting to make this place seem like home. got a good deal (I think) on a snowblower. NEED to install a fence in the backyard for the dogs. All in good time I guess!

    Chuck there a very desirable tool to have up in that part of the country, they can not only save your back but keep you from having a heart attack from shoveling snow. Wished I would have had one last December when we got 3 feet of snow at our house.

    There are people here in Colorado Springs that actual have snowblowers but never use them, up there in Great Falls it is likely that nurse will wear it out.
