drive, lie down, drive, walk around, get more drinks...repeat...

oh...ok.
i left san francisco last night around 7 pm but got caught in the traffic from the 49ers football game so it was slow going...i only got to just short of redding but was starting to fade so i pulled over and gave into it...
it was a long haul today - one i have done more than a few times before but this back thing really takes it out of me and makes it hard going...it wasn't all bad, the drive, but there were sections where the pain and numbness took it's toll and forced me off the raod. i'd have a little lie down in the back of the car or walk around the rest areas and try and loosen-up. it woked most of the time but sometimes it was not so good...
i was popping pills like a junkie at some points but not getting good results but it was what i had and that coupled with the shifting in the seat made it bearable....
i made my way to portland and had a little look around - a stop at upper playground, compound, levi store, missing link, mac store and then my last stop, la bonita, for a last mexican meal...i mixed it up a little instead of a burrito i had the enchilada dinner...nice. then it was time to come on home...
oh, and there was a stop in seattle for some coffee and a dick's burger....now i'm home and tired and need a nap...

more later.
