ok, it's later so here we go...

Friday:
Went to bed at 3:AM woke at 7:AM packed and went to the airport. Flew to Phoenix with a lay over in Austin. Slept a good deal on the fight, also started The Sandman Book II: The Dolls House.
Got into Phoenix, called Peter(my brother)to see if he had left for the airport yet, he hadn't. Chatted with Peter, found something to eat, purchased some headphones because i had forgotten some, went to the restroom, and Peter arrived.
We boarded the plane for Salt Lake and flew. There was much discussion about many things in our own perticular idiom that has evolved amongst the Ricks boys of my house hold. I read more, i let him read another comic i had, and we arrived in Salt Lake.
We got our rental car and proceeded up N.Temple St. to I-15, getting onto 15 from N.Temple presents a big problem once one discovers that it is impossible to do seeing as not one enginer designed a sing on ramp within five miles of these two intersecting major streets. So after ten minutes of back ally streets we are on 15 and stuck in traffic.
The drive from Salt Lake City Utah to Rexburg Idaho is according to yahoo's map service is about 239 miles. The time we got out of traffic puts us about 6:25PM, i finished the Dolls House. We arrived at my uncle bob's on the outskirts of Rexburg at 9:53PM. We ate, dragged(more of a coax really) John(brother #2) away from his wife and out to find James(brother #3 and the one getting married on the next day). We find James, drag him into the car(literally)and head off to the one bar in Rexburg.
We get kicked out of the bar after a very good game of Foos. We then went to the bowling ally, where i proceeded to not only kick James ass at arm wrestling (to relolve a previous unsettled match) but after that i dominated the lane.
After bowling, we then tested further the limits of our rental car. Mind you the rental agreement said no off road driving, luck for us we found plenty of dirt roads which provided a wonderful stage for all kinds of donut and Ebrake fun.
Just a side note, but when the car was returned you could still feel a slight bump in the tire where part of it was left on thirty feet of road out side of Beaver Dick Park(best name for anything ever).
Ok, after that we all went back to our respective lodgings and went to bed, it was about 2:30AM.

Tomorrow:Saturday
