12:26 PM, Friday, August 11th, 2017:   That suuuuuuuuuuuucked. AHHHHH.   So on my drive back from a gig in San Francisco a wreck on the 5 stops all traffic...   ...FOR 12 HOURS. WITH NO OTHER WAY TO GET AROUND IT. WHAT THE HOLY FUCK.   Ahem, there's a video for that:      I ended up sleeping in the back for maybe an hour and around 4am I looked up and the parking lot was clear so I gave it a shot. STILL took me 2 1/2 hours to go 65 miles but luckily there was no stop and go traffic during the UPHILL. That was my massive issue: my explorer just isn't made to tow THAT kind of weight from a dead stop uphill. It struggles with the hill anyway - but if I had to completely stop? I would destroy my transmission.   So I got home, got everything unloaded and went straight to U-Haul as it opened and wasn't charged an extra day. I beat Zelda though - so that was fun. What a memory. So glad the kids weren't with me. They would've LOST THEIR SHIT. 12 hours of that? Whew.   The business ain't always glamorous...   Adam
