Breakdowns.

Yo.

Last night I was minding my own business, watching Oz The Great and Powerful on my phone while David drove when I noticed the truck stopped moving. He had pulled over because he felt something wrong with the truck. We towed to the main Central terminal here in Utah, thankfully it was not far at all and they took a closer look into it. Turns out the U Joint was shot and the drive shaft had a huge crack in it. David was bummed out, I was thinking one thing... Finally a day off. We slept in the truck last night and this morning took it to Peterbilt, lo and behold they said it will take at least a day to fix. So stoked! We went back to the terminal because they have dorms for drivers in situations like this as well as food and showers and all of that stuff. All of the dorms were full and so they paid for a hotel. I ate the biggest breakfast I've probably ever had of an 8oz steak, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy (it was only seven bucks at the terminal! And it was amazing!!) because the day before all I had to eat was a corn dog and a Hostess rip-off cupcake. We took a shuttle to the hotel we'll be staying at and geez louise... This is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. Which isn't saying much since all I've stayed in is crack motels, but still, I am very impressed. I feel like I'm on vacation here.

Salt Lake City is a boring place but damn, do they have some views. I tried my best not to be a mark but I had to take a picture of the backdrop. No matter where you look, if you are looking past the buildings, you are surrounded by gorgeous, snow topped, mountains. I love it.

I can't really think of anything to write about right now. We lost the load we were about to pick up which was going to Arizona (big whoop) and we won't know where we are going next until they get the truck back to us. I am hoping for one more day off, but I'll be ready tomorrow.

David on the Lawrence Arms: *comes out of sleeping area of truck* "Is that your music?! I thought you hit fuckin' garbage cans with my truck, man! I hate this stuff. Awful awful."

Bear out.
